    We have to see how much they will botch the performance further with this one!

    Its unfortunate SV has gone that way. I was so excited for it, and I actually still am now as the DLC adds some many Pokemons I like

    I wonder if Yamask is gonna be part of the Teal Mask DLC.

    Still, these games are so poor compared to other Switch releases.

      Performance-wise they’re a mess, but I also think these games introduced some of the best ideas in Pokemon in many generations, and they’ve been my favourites by far since Generation VI. There are lots of super fun easter eggs, character designs are great, terastalising is the best and most complex gimmick since mega evolutions, and I actually thought the story was interesting this time around. I think they got too much hate for what they are, which in my opinion is the best Pokemon games since Gen V.

      Should Game Freak be spending more money on larger development teams or more talented programmers, to ensure games run smoothly and graphics and animations are better? Absolutely. But are the games awful? I really don’t think so. I thought they were super fun and I enjoyed them a lot.

    Really disappointed in the 1st DLC being pushed from summer to “fall 2023”. I’m guessing the 2nd DLC won’t actually be “winter 2023” either.

    I actually wasn’t expecting any footage of this today, that was a surprise. If anyone remembers that 4chan leak from a little while back, how is its credibility looking now?

    I’m getting the feeling that they realized that salvaging the performance would require a complete redesign of the game, and just gave up.

    The performance patch is not coming. They’re just going to push out these dlcs and focus on the upcoming games.

      Admitadly, the footage they showed looks far smoother than the games do. It could just be then cherry picking footage, and I’m expecting nothing from GF, but we’ll have to see.

        We’ll see, but I don’t think there’s any indication at all that the footage is representative of the game.

    Despite all the performance issues and barren open world, the game is still pretty fun. If the DLC is as good as Crown Tundra was in Sw/Sh then I’ll end up getting it but I don’t do pre-orders.

      I was quite annoyed because it was so fun, but the performance and style was just so bad.

      I was having a decent time, but thinking how good it couldve been… Yeah that annoys me.

    Definitely won’t be buying these after the total disaster the base game was. hopefully the next game is a lot more polished. Absolutely no more pre-orders from me though.

      The performance of the base game was a hot mess. But I did personally still have fun. It’s certainly a pretty flawed game even looking past the performance issues. There’s almost no level scaling, despite it being an open world game where level matters massively. And it once again makes it far too easy to be overleveled even if you follow the absolute mess of the “leveled order” (ie, ordering content from lowest to highest level). But that said, the story and exploration was fun. Paradox pokemon were great.
