One fan of the newly-launched Pokemon Scarlet and Violet titles has discovered yet another hilarious glitch, with this one causing a group of students to promptly face the camera and begin T-Posing near the beginning of the game. This isn't the first Pokemon Scarlet and Violet glitch that players have found, nor is it the weirdest, as the game has received a massive number of complaints thanks to its poor technical quality at launch.
Indeed, fans of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have both burst out laughing over bugs causing Pokemon and NPC characters to randomly fade out of existence and watched in horror as their player character temporarily transforms into a horrifying eldritch monstrosity. The Generation 9 games have unfortunately shipped with a quality that is far below the expectations of most, with performance issues, bugs, and crashes hindering the experience for many players. Thankfully though, most of the technical glitches typically encountered by players don't affect gameplay in any particularly serious manner, instead offering the chance for many players to share a laugh over an unexpected moment.
A good example of one such moment is provided in a clip shared on TikTok by the user 0arnold01. It shows off a moment towards the very beginning of Scarlet and Violet, where a large group of students is gathered outside the school. A quick transition partway through the scene causes all the NPC characters to suddenly stand and T-Pose, while simultaneously staring directly at the camera.
It's uncertain how often this glitch typically occurs among players during the scene, but there's certainly a chilling tinge in the way the NPCs briefly stare at players while collectively T-Posing. Still, random and unexpected moments like this are sure to get a laugh out of most players, and there's definitely no shortage of clips similar to this one circulating around social media sites like Reddit and Twitter. Players of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet have experienced tons of hilarious moments, from Pokemon randomly flying off into the sunset to a Psyduck mysteriously materializing midway through a cutscene for all of half a second.
As funny as the new games' glitches are, not all fans are as amused as others. It would be an understatement to say that many Scarlet and Violet players are disappointed with the state of the games at release, with the collection of performance issues and glitches forging a Pokemon game that some claim to be the least-polished entry in the series to date. Though many fans have already pursued refunds, others are holding out hope that Game Freak will deliver a much-needed patch over the coming weeks.
Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are available on Nintendo Switch.
