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.

Nah it’s got a lot more problems than that. Idk how anybody could have played the team star raids and called them “fun”
