Our analysis

Performance improvements in Patch 1.3 help but core game still suffers from poor optimization, frame drops, and stutters on Switch hardware.

I'm gonna say wait and see. The glitches are a thing that need fixing, but the content is excellent.

Our analysis

Still considered one of the best mainline Pokemon games, especially after the Switch 2 update cleaned up the frame rate. The wide-open structure, terastallization mechanic, and a thriving, well-supported competitive scene are major strengths, with the Indigo Disc DLC delivering some of the most challenging combat in the series. Weaknesses remain: a muddy, unappealing art style, no dungeons or puzzles to break up the battles, overlong unskippable dialogue, and underbaked co-op multiplayer.

Open-world gameplay impresses but marred by technical issues and bland graphics.

    Open-world Pokémon with enjoyable exploration and decent music, hampered by poor graphics, optimization issues, and wasted potential. Gameplay too simple, open-world not fully utilized.
