Nintendo Switch – OLED Model Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Limited Edition

Product Information

Jireland92 and that mentality is what enables GF, among others, to keep pushing these unoptimized messes because they will still sell anyways. This is not the ps1 and ps2 era where even the best hardware limited the games’ performance. People who won’t mind poor performance in games will still never do, but I won’t spend a dime on a game where the gameplay is noticeably affected most of the time because of poor frame rate, even if it was for my kids.

Just let Bandai/Namco take a shot at this. Their Pokemon Snap game was just a tease of what a true open world Pokemon could look like. There's no reason that game could look so pristine and run smoothly where these games look and run like garbage. It's like they created a bland open world, with some different zones (grass, snow, forest) with little in it due to their crappy engine and performance constraints and then just rushed with dumping assets on the map, without spending any time to polish it and blend it naturally into the terrain. broskiplays I dunno, if BOTW and Xenoblade Chronicles 3 can give us decent open worlds, then Pokemon certainly canI'm still buying it but those are legit critisms of the game. Its not great for casuals because there's nothing to really do post game, and its not great for die hard fans because 1: still dexit, 2: 20 min timer hits the battling community hard still. steely_pete I massively agree on this. To give SWSH credit for one thing, I thought it had some incredible character designs like your rivals, the gym leaders, Leon, and even regular trainers whereas SV’s designs do absolutely nothing for me and all look mediocre. That’s not even to mention the fact you have to wear the horrible looking uniform throughout SV which is a massive step down from SWSH’s incredible customisation i'd love to play the latest disappointing 3d pokemon game but i need to finish my disappointing 3d sonic game first! Meet the characters - As one of the main characters, you’ll set off on your adventure. Your outfit will vary depending on whether you play Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. Who knows what kind of story awaits you? For the first time in the series, one of two different professors will appear in your game depending on the version you choose to play. Don't really care for performance issues if the overall game is better than Sword and Shield. That's all that matters to me. Can't wait for it.

Big issue is with battles, if you can still not abort them and forced to sit through the whole battle until all your Pokemon are defeated, get money penalty, etc. Wow. They both actually have good designs. But I think the Splatoon one is better, the colours and designs blend in well with the switch, whereas the Pokémon one looks too bold. broskiplays I highly doubt they'd be happy to oblige to giving up their one big IP to someone else.

Nintendo Switch (OLED Model)

And this has more to do with actual optimization than the Switch hardware. Xenoblade 3 released this year and doesn't have nearly as much technical issues as Pokemon, despite also having a big world to explore. It was also made in three years seeing the timeline. I'm gonna pass on this one. Pokemon just isn't a series that gets me excited anymore even though I loved it as a kid. The fact that Gamefreak still hasn't added voice acting to a modern game and still can't make a Pokemon that runs well is baffling. Cool if people are excited for it, just not my cup of tea. The only Pokemon game I foresee playing before long is Pokemon Legends: Arceus since it's on my Christmas list. I just played Shield about a year ago and played Brilliant Diamond in late spring, so I needed a cooling off period lol.
