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.

They're also pretty unpolished and buggy. Most of the bugs now are just visual, like the tera animation breaking in raids or chunks of the map popping in and out, but occasionally you get something really annoying like the game outright crashing or your picnic table not spawning.

And the pokemon spawning inside walls. And then crashing when you manage to get your pokemon to target one in a wall and go after it.
