Sigh… my game is already shipped and on the way so we’ll see how much I feel like giving in when it arrives. I might return it and just go buy brilliant diamond/SP at a discount since I’ve never played any iteration of that gen. Just curious if people think Nintendo should drop it, it at least upgrade it to have a built in battery and charger to keep the Joy on going for Switch 2. As is, I see no reason for a Switch 2 box to have them. IDK maybe they're used in Japan a lot? 🤷 The performance should NOT be this bad this late in the console's lifespan. No excuse for lazy programming.

I know Breath of The Wild runs very different, without Pokemon everywhere that you interact with and start battling. But it does have enemies everywhere in an action combat setting, and NPC's walkimg about and towns that are just fine when compared to Pokemon Scarlet. I prefer the Splatoon one, the joy cons especially look great. I've been meaning to by an OLED but at this point I think I'm going to wait to see if there will be a Zelda one when BotW2 releases and get that.Jireland92 Game Freak is part of the Pokemon Company, in which Nintendo has a big stake in. So Nintendo actually has indirect control over Game Freak if they want to and should after this latest disaster of a game. Have you stayed in Gormott (XC2) where you are at level 5 and you see some cute bunnies you want to kill until you stumble on a lv 40 giant rabbit that one shot's you? Yeah, that's how I see the open world games without level scaling Type_Trubbish I didn't see a response your comment. Yes, Reddit says it's in the game. I think they call it Wonder Trade. I think it was offically confirmed a while ago as well. I'm happy for people that do end up enjoying these games but I think I'm done with Pokémon for now. My main excitement right now is Fire Emblem Engage which I really do hope we see more of in the next few weeks or soon. These games CANNOT be worse than DP/SP, so that's a start. I'm really hoping these games are as good as Sw/Sh. Since, I really enjoyed them. Hearing that most of the jank is in the overworld makes me sad, I really hope it doesn't take me out of the game too much.

steely_pete I think the gym leaders look fine, the trainer still looks so off to me tho, so I agree. Totally agree, but why we are surprised by all this is beyond me, GameFreak are used to making games that are not 3D open world titles, they need some help in my opinion, or a more powerful console to develop for, which would give them more margin for error.

With that being said, having played Monster Hunter Stories 2 and Shin Megami on the switch, Pokemon has absolutely NO excuse for the performance issues they have. Sounds like more time in the oven was needed and it feels like a beta test for the future of Pokemon mainline open world. Patches should surely come? People can say a lot about Sword&Shield, but that game looks way way better than Scarlet&Violet, with much nicer and more diverse environments. Not particularly bothered about either one of them. Both of them look bland and boring. I'm happy with the Switch OLED I have already thanks. nocdaes Because the 3 year cycle of new Anime, Cards, Toys, etc. That always put's Gamefreak in the position they only have 3 years between the generations to make a new game.

It's gotten to a point were it's just embarrasing. GameFreak should take inmediate actions to stop this to happen again or just stop developing tha main Pokemon games altogether.I do think it rather bold of the Pokemon Co. to embrace ass graphics in the modern era. Takes some balls.
