This is a bit off topic from what I usually write about, and is probably old news too but, I wanted to write about this anyway.

Pokemon Scarlet/Violet runs like absolute garbage on switch hardware. It is nothing but constant frame rate drops and dropped frames. Personally, something like that bothers me A LOT.

To me, it's annoying enough that it makes the game unplayable. It has left such a sour taste in my mouth that I think i'll just delete my save data for Pokemon Scarlet/Violet and play through Sword/Shield again, because at least that actually runs well on switch hardware.

I can't believe Nintendo and Gamefreak gave this the go ahead as the final product. Absolutely disgusting.

I may revisit Scarlet/Violet in an emulator, or once, if ever, Gamefreak irons out the performance issues.

This game has been out for almost a year now, and these performance issues still exist. Unacceptable.
