Hey! You are standing on my feet
Amongst all the revolutionary changes, the game also brings with it the ability for players to stand where they want during multiplayer.

This results in players just distracting their partners even when they are in the middle of a battle!
Pokémon trainer’s curious alterations!
What people are calling the most irritating glitch of them all is one where hopping to and from your legendary sometimes makes your character stretch out in a weird way.

It happens so frequently sometimes that it ends up irritating people.
Wipe that look off your face!
There’s one very peculiar glitch in these games, where you use your camera to take a selfie and use any emote while taking the selfie.
If you use one of the emotes in the selfie camera mode and exit the menu, your character will continue to use the same face even outside of camera mode. My character is now permanently depressed. pic.twitter.com/o4nSXCALY1

That emote kind of stays with your character even during gameplay. Even when your character is eating their food!
Weird floating icons
These last Scarlet and Violet glitch do nothing much. Just some random minimap icons would start floating on the screen for no reason.
Perhaps my favorite glitch so far in #PokemonScarletViolet. A mini-map icon gets unattached & just floats around the screen. #PokemonGlitch pic.twitter.com/Qcn0xTgtCA

It just detaches from the minimap and goes for a stroll.
So these are some of the glitches that players are experiencing in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Now, none of them have been categorized as game-breaking. But people are not loving them much, and everyone is hoping that Game Freak is currently working hard on fixing them.
