Although tons of players are enjoying Pokémon Scarlet and Violet<\/a>, some are outright disappointed with some of the technical issues plaguing the game, such as performance issues, glitches, and more. So much so that they are demanding a refund for the game, and if you find yourself in this camp, then our guide can help you do the same.<\/p>\n

So below we’ll be taking a look at how to get a refund for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet if you are unsatisfied with the quality of the game and want your money back.  <\/p>\n

Can You Get A Refund For <\/strong>Pokémon Scarlet and Violet<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Although there are a few articles recently that report a player getting a full fund for the purchase of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, getting the refund isn’t as easy as it sounds. While it’s possible to request one, it’s not a guarantee that you’ll get it, but if you’re genuinely keen on getting your money back, here are the key points you’ll need to follow. <\/p>\n

The refund process with differs depending on if you bought the game from a physical retailer or from the Nintendo eShop. (Picture: The Pokémon Company)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Firstly, you must have first purchased the game digitally through the Nintendo eShop<\/a> to be eligible for a full refund, which is the guaranteed method of getting it. If you purchased a code from another reseller, or store, or bought it physically then you’re in hot water, unless your physical game store is willing to refund the game because it is “broken,” which is unexpected, then this will likely be a dead end for you.<\/p>\n

So let’s say you bought the game via Nintendo’s eShop, from there, you need to call Nintendo directly and request a refund for Pokémon Scarlet and Violet. Keep in mind that the company is not legally required to offer refunds for the game, but in some circumstances, they might agree to revoke your access to the game and refund the purchase price if you can convince them of your situation and speak to a representative who is sympathetic to your request.<\/p>\n

If you appeal to Nintendo via their eSHop, you’ll need to appeal to a relevant case for the refund or you may be denied, as a refund is not legally obligatory. (Picture: The Pokémon Company)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The method for calling Nintendo will vary depending on where you live. On the Nintendo website, you should be able to find the local phone number for customer service.<\/p>\n

Though the game isn’t unplayable, the performance problems may make it unfit for some players through no fault of their own because they may experience motion sickness, headaches, or nausea. So if that is the case for you, we suggest that as the approach you should take when asking for a refund.<\/p>\n
