SincePokemon Uniteis a brand-new ambitious multiplayer title, there’s bound to be glitches popping out now and again. Fans have been experiencing these glitches during the post-match celebration screen. In one instance, they are treated to textures bugging out. AnotherPokemon Uniteglitch shows faceless trainers when players enter the victory screen. Other glitches include Pokemon and other characters with incorrect textures, such as the trainer and their Charizard sporting Wigglytuff’s color scheme.
Aside from the creepy faceless trainers, the one that has been amusing fans the most is if the player is using a Machamp. Machamp is a strong four-armed Pokemon with muscles stacked on top of muscles, who wears nothing but a speedo and championship belt. The glitch causes the player’s Machamp to face both forwards and backwards at the same time during the victory idle, but also causes them to shed their speedo. This leaves them with the sight of Machamp’s bare behind, well-toned fromits time making workout videos.
It doesn’t seem that these glitches are harmful or seriously game-breaking in any way, which is good as thePokemonfranchise also has a history withgame-breaking glitches. There has been the report of a different glitch that causes a black screen to appear when players exit a match after a connection error, but nothing has been reported by users to be causing their Switches to break or anything more serious like that. Despite these glitches, the launch ofPokemon Uniteis proving to be quite successful and it seems many fans are enjoying the series' leap into the MOBA genre.
Pokemon Uniteis available now for Switch and for mobile at a future date.
