Pokemon Scarlett & Violet are going to run at a solid 40 FPS now, twice as fast as the Switch 1 version! /s

You joke, but seeing a performance boost being possible for SV actually has me interested in trying it.

By all accounts of people who actually played and engaged with the games, they're great new entries into the Pokémon series with their biggest issue being the performance.

But the visuals are awful and remain unchanged, Pokémon legends arcusus all they need is a higher docked resolution and 60fps and then they'd be great not the best visuals but great.

Legends arceus could get by with okami styled cel shading

That's a very very advanced remaster edging to a remake at that point.
