    It’s very much fixed now, enough as to where I have gotten back into my play through after abandoning it due to the terrible performance on Switch 1. Still, I think Nintendo and Game Freak should be embarrassed that this released on Switch 1 in the state it was in in the first place. I don’t think many people would have minded a delay or even Switch 2 exclusivity if it meant a better final product.

    I don’t understand why people are suddenly praising Gamefreak for this “miraculous” update, that fixed everything, when in reality it took a 10 year jump in hardware, and a slightly increased Pokemon density. Do these people think Xenoblade Chronicles ran on magic and unicorn dust, or some secret performance mode that only gets unlocked for that game?

      People are happy that the game is running better on Switch 2, but I haven’t seen any actual praise for the studio.

      It’s internet though, there are people with every possible opinion, so there might be some praising Game Freak, but that sentiment isn’t shared by most people, as far as I can see.

      Who is praising Game Freak? The video is quite critical of the studio.

      Yeah the praise is a bit much for me. I went back to try it and I was thinking that while it runs better, I still find it janky and extremely underwhelming. Legends Arceus was far more interesting to me.
