The gameplay issues are so severe and seemingly never-ending that Scarlet and Violet have received the worst reviews of the entire series. Since Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s formal debut last Friday, November 18, customers have been requesting refunds for their digital purchases over on Reddit. And numerous people are reporting success.

I had to double-check to make sure I wasn’t unintentionally playing this on a toaster due to the FPS and graphics. They managed to get away with disabling so many wonderful features and quality-of-life elements, such as status animations, decisions regarding exp sharing, and battle animations, to name just a few.
“Since I complained about the state of this game, I can no longer be contributing to the issue,” they said. I received my money back and felt a lot better.
Several Redditors are expressing their personal experiences trying to secure refunds from Nintendo in these threads and quite a few others. While many report success, some indicate that Nintendo customer assistance needs to be worked with a little bit before agreeing to a refund.
