Another player of the recently releasedPokemontitle,Pokemon Scarlet andViolet, shares the horrifying glitch they encountered while trying to take a selfie with their character in-game.

On Reddit, user GildedCypress shared the selfie they took with the game’s photo mode, one of thefeatures inPokemon Scarlet andViolet. In the posted image, their character’s face can be seen massively blown up in front of what seems like a viewing deck in the background. The background elements like the deck railing lined up perfectly with the character’s mouth to look like teeth, and the camera seemed to have zoomed in so much that it glitched out the characters face. The combination of these effects made the whole photo gives off vibes of a scary scene from a horror film.
The replies on the Reddit thread showed both amusement and horror from fellow fans of the title. One even commented that they hoped the glitch was an actual feature in the video game, and that fellow players should imagine what it would be like to see such a photo when battling against another player in acompetitivePokemon Scarlet andVioletmatch. Other comments mainly alluded to pop culture references or how GildedCypress’s character looked high.
Nevertheless, the horrifying glitch that GildedCypress encountered inPokemon Scarlet and Violetcan probably be easily solved by simply exiting the game’s camera mode. If not, they can just restart their Switch. The Nintendo title has only been out in the market for a couple of weeks, and the devs have a lot of time to remedy the rampant bugs and issues the community has been experiencing. Hopefully they can resolve these glitches in future updates to the title.
