澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Scarlet and Violet fans are less than impre🎐ssed by the game's eating animation.

The launch of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is here, and in a massive shake-up to the franchise's familiar formula, fans can finally experience the first true open-world Pokemon adventure. While roaming around in the game's vast world, you'll inevitabl🤪y find yourself a bit peckish and stopping for a picnic might seem like a good idea, but the terrible eating animation will surely make you think twice about chowing down. 

"This is the tackiest animation I have ever seen," says Twitter user @Starjeti. And they're not exaggerating. The clip they shared shows a Pokemon trainer biting into thin air, a flat image of a footlong visible b🐓ehind them. The scene then shifts to a view of the top of their head as they supposedly tuck into the meal, their Pokemon floating idly behind them.

Unsurprisingly, plenty of other Pokemon fans are just as unimpr🐟essed. "I love Pokemon, b𒉰ut even I can't defend this one," says , adding that 2019's Pokemon Sword and Shield "had better eating animations than this".

User took to Twitter to admit that they thought the lacklustre animation was a fan creation designed to get a few laughs rather than an actual scene from the game. While wrote, "they literally could have animated it to look like Disney and not even left a dent in their fortune."

Despite the questionable eating animation, Paldea is proving popular with long-time fans and newbies, with Scarlet and Violet achieving the highest numbers 𒀰of preorders in the💫 series' 26-year history.  On the whole, the new game has been met with a largely positive response, but the increased scale has brought its fair share of performance issues. In our 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Pokemon Scarlet and Violet review, we describe it as "The most interesting Pokemon game in a long time, for ꦕbetter and worse".
