SomePokemon Scarlet and Violetfans weren’t happy about Mewtwo’s updated character model in the games. This comes after the launch ofPokemon Scarlet and Violet’s latest Mewtwo Tera Raid Battle.
For September,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetprepared a seven-star Tera Raid boss battle against Mewtwo the Unrivaled. Mewtwo is aPsychic Tera-type Pokemonwith the ability to deliver powerful psychic strikes and prevent Pokemon from eating berries using Unnerve.

With this, somePokemon Scarlet and Violetplayers expressed that they weren’t fans of Mewtwo’s new character model. Reddit user JAMEZV1 said that they liked Mewtwo’s old look inPokemon Sword and Shieldbetter, which sparked a discussion on whether thePokemonfranchise should continue using old designs or update them. A good number of people seemed to agree with the post as they pointed out that Mewtwo’s features inScarlet and Violetlooked low-quality compared toSword and Shield. However, others seemed to like the updated character model because Mewtwo’s expression looked more “realistic” and “intimidating,” despite thegraphical issues thatPokemon Scarlet and Violethave faced.
It’s no secret that Game Freak has been updating the character models and animations for a number of Pokemon inPokemon Scarlet and Violet. Many fans have previously noticed the changes in Charizard’s design, as well as how some Pokemon have been scaled to match their canon size. This could be the developer’s way of giving the creatures fresh new looks. In fact, some fans on Reddit noticed the change while playingPokemon Legends: Arceus.
Since launching in November last year, many gamers have had mixed opinions aboutPokemon Scarlet and Violetbecause of their initial issues. Although some have noted that Game Freak was able to address the performance issues, there were others who continued to express that the games could still run smoother. Overall though,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetstill gained significant popularity as players invested time in the stories, Pokemon hunting, and Tera Raid events.
Apart from the Mewtwo Tera Raid Battle,Pokemon Scarlet and Violetfans are also gearing up for the upcomingThe Teal Mask DLC, which will introduce new quests and Pokemon. It will also reportedly roll out graphical improvements to the games, so many are excited about that.
