"Pokemon Zhu/Zi" NS2 still has bugs, players just call it "Tai Jing" and are blinded by the eyes
Since the launch of "Pokémon Scarlet/Violet" was criticized for frequent screen stuttering and modeling bugs when it was first released on the NS1 platform, the launch of Nintendo's NS2 console has finally brought an opportunity to "rebirth" for this game. The upgraded version not only achieves a double leap in resolution and frame rate, but also significantly improves the smoothness of the game and scene details. Foreign media have praised it as "late redemption." However, Game Freak programmers still seem to be unable to escape the "ancestral bug" curse - Recently, the bug exposed by a Reddit player once again sparked heated discussions, and was even dubbed by netizens as "the official undisclosed 'Taijing World' Easter Egg".
According to the video uploaded by the player, everything is normal in the early stage of the game, but when the protagonist steps out of the house, the whole world is suddenly covered with a layer of strange crystal texture. The details of buildings, trees, character clothing and even NPCs all show iridescent reflections similar to candy paper, and may even cause visual discomfort due to excessive flickering at specific angles. Some players joked: "It is recommended to wear sunglasses to watch." "This bug is more 'terastalized' than the game body!"
In response to this phenomenon, some technical players speculated that the bug may be related to shader compilation errors or graphics card driver compatibility issues. The hardware upgrade of NS2 may have exposed the game engine's material rendering loopholes, resulting in the "too crystal" special effects that should have been used only on Pokémon, incorrectly covering the global situation. Some players also joked: "Maybe this is the hidden gameplay buried by Game Freak - use bugs to unlock the achievement of "all-members are too crystallized"?"
Although bugs frequently occur, the players of the "Pokemon" series have always been known for "making joy in pain". In this incident, many people complained that "GF programmers are sucking in fish again", while making bug screenshots into emoticons, and even launched the challenge of "who can trigger the most outrageous picture in the game". Game Freak has not responded to this yet, but considering the series' "Buddhist" attitude towards bugs in the past, this incident may become a classic meme material in the player community.
Although the upgraded version of NS2 has greatly improved the experience of "Zhu/Zi", the exposure of this bug once again reminds players: Game Freak's technical strength still needs to be polished. For fans of the series, they may have long been accustomed to jumping repeatedly between "Catching Pokémon" and "Catching Bugs" - after all, who can reject a Pedia continent with its own "flash special effects"?
