Perspective | After ‘Pokémon Scarlet’ and ‘Violet,’ we can’t give Game Freak a pass

Understandably, the thing fans and critics alike are buzzing about today is how awful the games look and perform, especially on older Nintendo Switches. Just watch the video below; the whole game looks like that., my colleague Alyse Stanley and I noted that while the gameplay loop in “Scarlet” and “Violet” is addictive and fun, it’s undeniable that the bevy of graphics and performance issues constantly took us out of the world.

The reality is, this isn’t the first time Game Freak’s had performance and graphics issues. After more than a decade and five generations of Pokémon games, Game Freak finally switched its graphical style from a top-down 2D viewpoint to a more modern 3D look. That transition hasn’t been without its growing pains.

we talk about it in our scarlet/violet review but just for a visual demonstration, this is what folks are talking about re: graphical issues. the whole game is like this

I do t understand why Game Freak can’t get this right. Breath of the Wild was 5 years ago and run smooooth and yet this brand new game is frame rate hell. It’s such a shame because it’s a good game! And very colourful and interesting. But the graphical issues take away from that.

1. Game Freak is unable to deliver 2. We do need a more powerful Switch Pro 3. Move your ass, Nintendo! And Point 2. Thank you.
