Do you think it’s bad because of the bad optimisation of the base game? Is it overpriced? Tell me about it

My gut reaction when hearing “DLC” is to hate it usually. But thinking logically it’s a better deal for Pokemon fans to get the new content through these DLCs than to buy the same half-baked game again for another $60 just to get access to the new content.
It rubs me the wrong way though to see them putting out these paid pieces of content while the base games still suffer with pretty egregious performance and graphical issues that shouldn’t be present in a modern game on the Switch.

I’m hoping that the DLCs will fix some of the performance issues, but given Game Freak’s history I’m not getting my hopes up.
What I was really hoping for was a return to Kalos or something. It seems like an obvious thing to do, especially given that the game seems to be hinting at bringing back Megas and Spain borders France (obviously).
I’m reserving judgement until we know more about the DLCs, but like I said - I’m not getting my hopes up…
Yeah, I don’t have hope in GameFreak to fix it. There’s a rumor that SV will get a “next-gen” patch when the Switch sucessor will go out. I hope so

I haven’t played S/V. I’ve been a little shy of spending the $$$ for it with the way GameFreak has been going lately… Is it worth it?
I’ve been filling my Pokémon void with Legends: Arceus. I haven’t had that much fun playing a Pokémon game since… Dang, probably Emerald honestly.
Honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it right now. I am a huge Pokemon nerd, and I was disappoint of the game because of the performance. Wait to see a possible patch in the future for the next Switch, or play it on emulator
Legends Arceus was very good, a lot of things the game introduce was not in SV and it was a letdown

Yeah, I heard tell that the majority of S/V’s performance issues are either much better or gone completely if you emulate it on a decent PC… Which is really strange. Means GameFreak really, really poorly optimized their game… For the only platform it’s supposed to run on.
GameFreak never optimise their games… they COULD let other company do it for them, but they don’t even want
