A current Pokemon Scarlet & Violet player & Reddit user, ShokaLGBT, shared a video of a glitch depicting a ghost NPC carrying a shopping bag walking through an egg-hatching cutscene.

As this glitch evidences, there seems to be no end in sight with how many unique & hilarious glitches players are discovering, & Pokemon Scarlet & Violet only recently released.

Despite the endless bugs & lag, some players enjoy playing the recent Pokemon title. Unfortunately, those fans streaming Pokemon Scarlet & Violet on Twitch are facing DMCA issues. This is due to a song in the game performed by Ed Sheeran. While ShokaLGBT may not be experiencing streaming strikes, they aren’t alone in experiencing an NPC bug. Other players noticed NPCs behaving oddly in the background as well. Another Reddit user pointed out that an NPC trainer during a recent battle was only visible because they saw an eerie floating Pokeball.

So far, Nintendo has not formally announced any scheduled patch yet. There are, however, a lot of fixes fans want to be implemented into Pokemon Scarlet & Violet sooner than later.
