I recently did something sort of unusual: I went to a preview event for a game that’s been out for almost three years.<\/p>\n

I’ve played around 400 hours of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em>, according to my Nintendo Switch, since it was released in late 2022. It’s safe to say I know the game pretty well. And yet, when I was invited to preview Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em> on the Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of the new console’s launch<\/a>, I gladly took the opportunity to see three-year-old games I already own. I wanted to find out just how much they’d improved.<\/p>\n

I have a high jank tolerance with games – it builds character – but I’m well aware of Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em>‘s shortcomings on the original Switch<\/a>. There’s lag. The frame rate is\u2026 inconsistent. There are online connectivity issues. For a lot of people, performance problems overshadowed what was otherwise a great new generation of Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>games. With the release of the Nintendo Switch 2<\/a>, and the accompanying free performance update for Scarlet<\/em> and Violet<\/em>, that might finally change.<\/p>\n

Starting up the demo of Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet<\/em> on the Switch 2 at The Pok\u00e9mon Company International’s office in Bellevue, Washington, I knew immediately where I wanted to go firs \u2026<\/p>\n
