Pokémon Violet and Scarlet’s Switch 2 update is as good as it looks

I recently did something unusual: I went to an inspection event that was outside it nearly three years ago.

I played about 400 hours from Pokemon ScarlettAccording to Nintendo Switch, it was released in late 2022. It is safe to say that I know the game is good. However, when I was invited to inspection Pokemon Scarlett and Violet In Nintendo Switch 2 before the new console launch, I am pleased with the opportunity to see three -year -old games that I already have. I wanted to know how much I improved.

I have a great tolerance with games – it builds a personality – but I realize well Carmazy and VioletThe shortcomings on the original key. There is delay. Frame rate … inconsistent. There are online communication problems. For many people, performance problems overwhelmed what was a wonderful new generation Pokemon games. With Nintendo Switch 2, free performance update to Carmazy and VioletThis may finally change.

The start of the explanatory show Pokemon Scarlett On Switch 2 in the PokéMon Company International office in Bellevue, Washington, I knew immediately where I wanted to go first: Casseroya Lake, which is sometimes called “LAG Lake”, where the graphic problems of games are more clear. On the original key, the game truly Chigs when you are on the lake; The frame rate takes a diving, struggles to serve more than one handful of Pokemon in your direct confinement. Explore the most vibrant open areas and face Pokemon that fills it is one of Carmazy and VioletThe largest strengths, but on switching, Casseroya Lake is boring and free at best and it is impossible to move in the worst case.

Play on Switch 2, however, beautiful Casseroya lake ran. There was a much more Pokemon (I was immediately exposed to me by the Torbid -like Velosa, as it was ever), and the delay and the trick I expected was not present. He fought Felosa without any problems. I stumbled on slow outfit and sent Cloodsire to me for their automatic allowance-not late. I found Tera Pokémon Wild and watched the TERA Animation Play game, and it looks more clear than I ever seen. (I was playing a Docked position at a station created by TPCI, so it might be attributed to the latter on the TV. But still.)

This was the case everywhere I went during the 30 -minute explanatory show: a stable and smooth frame rate, much faster loading times, and more than Pokemon fills the world. Switch 2 update is not a complete repair of the drawings themselves – herbal textures look just as always as always in my eyes, for example – but it seems to abolish the performance problems that have been withdrawn Carmazy and Violet Below for nearly three years. It is a noticeable improvement in the world, in the battle, in Terra raids, and even in the menus.

Is it worthy to praise the game well? Maybe not. I do not pretend to know how games are made at the technical level, or any level at any level, but I know they are not. easy To make. I had enough fun Pokemon Scarlett To play for 400 hours without performance problems that bother me a lot. But I felt bitterly for a while, to think about how much these games could shine if they work well in the first place.

After that, in the last five minutes of my illustration, where I fought in a different set of water to confirm that it stretches smoothly, I saw it: Of the Poisiz centuries, the beach flounders, shiny.

Good part of 400 hours in Carmazy They spent shiny hunting, because although Bokimon’s alternative versions of Pokemon is not difficult to find as they were in previous games, I am excited every time I see one, without failing. It is the perfect packaging for the type of joy Carmazy and Violet You must serve: explore a vital area and find something special. The brilliant Boitz has caught despite the knowledge that it was not my memorization file, not mine.

It can be said that the Switch 2 update is a little late Carmazy Save the file, depending on the number of hours you think is reasonable to spend this game. But I also have VioletAnd playing about two hours of this version. Looking at the brilliant Buizel I did not keep, I realized that I am very excited about the reason for playing Violet Finally – to re -discover what I liked most about these games, in a country that achieves justice.
