Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Players Are Frustrated With the Storage Boxes

Of all the problems thatPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers are discovering in the new games are slow storage boxes that make swapping Pokemon in a trainer’s party a little more difficult. Nintendo releasedPokemon Scarlet and Violetlast week, and since then numerous bugs and glitches have been discovered like simple visual ones that turn the trainer into a giant monster or cause eyes to bulge out of heads.

Reddit user CrimsonishWitch recently posted about their experiences inPokemon Scarlet and Violetthat have made using the storage boxes feel “frustrating” compared to prior generations ofPokemongames.Pokemon Scarlet and Violetkicked off Gen 9 on the Nintendo Switch and although it has become asuccessful hit for Nintendo, the games have some issues that didn’t make it to other Switch titles likePokemon Legends: ArceusorPokemon Sword and Shield. While many of the visual glitches inPokemon Scarlet and Violethave gone viral through social media, it’s the storage box problems that CrimsonishWitch points to as spoiling the experience.

According to CrimsonishWitch, the slowPokemon Scarlet and Violetstorage boxes loading are more intrusive to the gaming experience than Pokemon that pop-in while exploring Paldea or the numerous reports of frame rate dips. CrimsonishWitch has stated that they typically attempt to complete a living Pokedex liketwo players did withPokemon Sword and Shieldin each Generation, butPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s box issues may discourage the player this time around. AfterPokemon Scarlet and Violetfans factor in all the slow-down from problems like the PC boxes, FPS dips, falling through the map, and more, much of the game time logged with each save includes minutes of waiting.

Pointing to the manyPokemontitles that came beforePokemon Scarlet and Violet, CrimsonishWitch asked why the selection modes have been changed so drastically with Gen 9. CrimsonishWitch stated that they’re left waiting over five seconds at times for storage boxes to load the Pokemon within them as they scroll from one to another in search of a specific Pokemon. With so many Pokemon in thePokemon Scarlet and VioletPokedex, some trainers may fill over a dozen boxes with their collection which can mean a full minute of experiencing the complication that CrimsonishWitch has highlighted.

ManyPokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers expressed similar problems with Gen 9 in response to CrimsonishWitch who asked if they’re the only ones waiting for the boxes to load, which suggests that many fans have seen the same loading issue. As some players voiced otherPokemon Scarlet and Violetfrustrating flawslike the camera, others simply voiced that they hope that Game Freak can solve some of the complications with a future patch.
