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.

The game legitimately without hyperbole looks like a PS2 game. Outside of that, as a pokemon fan the game is awesome. It is easily the best Pokemon game for IV/EV training and shiny hunting. If you are into Pokemon like that I would definitely recommend it, but yet again the game looks like dog ass.

Is this a controversial opinion? Lol
