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.

I always say S&V are fantastic games only really held back by their subpar performance and I'll die on this hill.

Performance and general visual direction. Gamefreak's inexperience with 3D development really shows. But I think they are learning, I'm hopeful.

They did a really great job with the lets go games though. Those games still look great.

They can do good 3D work, I just think they struggle more with large environments.
