• LOL, that’s being generous! The optimization of Pokémon Scarlet/Violet was atrocious. Especially when the game was built exclusively for Switch and we see what the system is capable of in Tears of the Kingdom. Unfortunately, even though the quality is not there, the sales are. Despite its issues, S/V sold a ton of copies worldwide and it’s hard to argue with those results when you’re talking to a profit driven corporation.

    I heard something about Game Freak working on a new IP though… maybe if we’re lucky, they’ll get sick of making an endless stream of Pokémon games and they’ll hand the franchise to a developer who will give it some much-needed love.
