A pair of these are Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Pok\u00e9mon Violet, which are pretty widely criticized for their relatively poor performance on the Switch. I got to play the newly updated Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet on the Nintendo Switch 2 for thirty minutes, and the Switch 2 upgrades are <em>incredibly<\/em> clear. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/gaming-systems\/switch-2\/transfer-guide\/games-with-free-updates\/\" class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><u>official Nintendo website<\/u><\/a> says the free Switch 2 updates for Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Pok\u00e9mon Violet include: <\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li>\u201cVisuals: Optimized for the Nintendo Switch 2 display and high-resolution TVs for improved image quality.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>\u201cFrame rate: Improved for smoother movement on Nintendo Switch 2.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The vague description definitely put me off at first, but now I know Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Pok\u00e9mon Violet on the Nintendo Switch 2 run in 4K at 60FPS. Or, at least, those are the settings\u2013I didn\u2019t have the equipment to measure if that 60FPS is indeed steady\u2013but by the naked eye, I can still recognize it as markedly improved. As soon as I loaded into the game, on a huge 4K TV, I was stunned by how nice everything looked. No jagged pixelated edges on blades of grass, or even Pok\u00e9mon, here. <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The Switch 2 updates have also increased the number of Pok\u00e9mon that can appear on screen, and from a further distance. For instance, flying over Casseroya Lake on the Switch 2 was a drastically different experience compared to on the Switch: I saw numerous Pok\u00e9mon swim along the surface from a distance and didn\u2019t experience any noticeable stuttering once I began to swim. Even when it began to rain, Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet on the Switch 2 still didn\u2019t struggle even a little. In fact, it continued playing like normal, as if the weather effects were meant to just\u2026 work. <\/p>\n<div class=\"display-title jsx-959792410 jsx-2659527929 quote-container\" data-cy=\"quoteBox\">Even when it began to rain, Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet on the Switch 2 still didn\u2019t struggle even a little.<\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The framerate improvements are especially immediately obvious when viewing faraway moving objects, like the windmills by West Province (Area One) &#8211; Central, or distant Pok\u00e9mon and people. I also didn\u2019t experience stalling or glitches when in a raid battle or when Terastalizing. I didn\u2019t get to play online or co-op, however, so we\u2019ve yet to see if the updates improved those aspects (that desperately need it.) <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Visuals are subjective, so there\u2019s only so much I can say to emphasize that the difference is certainly noticeable, but you can watch the comparison video on this page.  I can also report on some favorable loading time comparisons that will let you judge for yourself. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">These approximate comparisons are between Pok\u00e9mon Violet running on a <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/wikis\/nintendo-switch\/Nintendo_Switch_Longer_Battery_Release_Date_and_Model_Details\"><u>V2 Switch<\/u><\/a> (the Monster Hunter Rise special edition, specifically) in 1080p, and Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet running on a brand new Nintendo Switch 2 in 4K. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Loading from title screen:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li><strong>Switch: <\/strong>19 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch 2: <\/strong>5 seconds <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Fast travel from North Province (Area One) to Casseroya Lake:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li><strong>Switch: <\/strong>9 seconds<\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch 2: <\/strong>4 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\"><strong>Fast travel from Blueberry Academy to Paldea: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list jsx-4224303756\" data-cy=\"list\">\n<li><strong>Switch: <\/strong>17 seconds <\/li>\n<li><strong>Switch 2: <\/strong>5 seconds<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Besides the fast travel loading time improvements, the menus are also <em>so<\/em> much snappier.

I still appreciated the new open-world format, more fleshed-out characters, and never-before-seen new Pok\u00e9mon friends, lag be damned. I certainly was frustrated enough that I avoided switching out Pok\u00e9mon because of how <em>long<\/em> it took, sure, but overall, Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Violet were fun for me regardless. However, now that I\u2019ve played it on the Switch 2, the performance and visual issues of the original are certainly less ignorable, and thankfully I never need to play it on an original Switch again.<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">To neatly sum it up, Rebekah Valentine in <a class=\"link jsx-1337145738 jsx-3925284146 underlined\" data-cy=\"styled-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/articles\/pokemon-scarlet-and-violet-review\"><u>IGN\u2019s original Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Pok\u00e9mon Violet review<\/u><\/a> said: \u201cLet\u2019s talk about the Donphan in the room here: these games run like garbage.\u201d  <\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-313219616\"><a href=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/06\/03\/pokmon-scarlet-and-pokmon-violet-nintendo-switch-2-screenshot-2-1748992154761.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"undefined\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2025\/06\/03\/pokmon-scarlet-and-pokmon-violet-nintendo-switch-2-screenshot-2-1748992154761.png?width=1280&amp;fit=bounds&amp;height=720&amp;quality=20&amp;dpr=0.05\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\" class=\"jsx-2920405963 progressive-image article-image article-image-full-size jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 loading\"\/><\/a><figcaption data-cy=\"caption\" class=\"caption jsx-1762799490 jsx-479945570 article-image-caption\">Nintendo Switch 2 screenshot.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><\/output><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">This, I\u2019m relieved to say, isn\u2019t the case on the Switch 2. Sure, they\u2019re still not perfect\u2013I did experience <em>one<\/em> stutter when dashing on Koraidon, and there are still texture issues and texture pop-ins\u2013but the visuals and performance are far from garbage. They\u2019re so much better, in fact, that I\u2019m tempted to say the free Switch 2 updates are closer to a <em>light <\/em>remaster than just an optimization \u2013 even though it really should\u2019ve just run better to begin with. I\u2019m that impressed, but to be fair, I <em>did<\/em> go in with somewhat low expectations\u2013how much better could a simple update make a game that ran with so many issues in 1080p on the original Switch?<\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Just how well Scarlet runs on the Switch 2 makes me question if this iteration of Pok\u00e9mon was planned for the Switch 2 all along. The update does this much and is <em>free? Suspicious. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><output class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\" data-cy=\"article-video\"\/><\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">Conspiracy theories aside, if the performance of Scarlet and Violet on the original Switch turned you off from playing, it\u2019s absolutely worth giving them another shot on the Switch 2. I\u2019m certainly going to go back and play more of the Indigo Disk DLC with these updates intact. These games are right at home on the Switch 2 and feel like they should have been here all along, and this gives me so much hope for the performance of the Switch 2 version of Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A later this year. <\/p>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">These were my first impressions from just thirty minutes of hands-on play, so there could certainly be issues I missed or that reveal themselves later, but I encountered <em>significantly <\/em>less issues in these thirty minutes on the Switch 2 compared to the thirty minutes on the original Switch I spent capturing the comparison footage. You\u2019ll be able to see the differences between the Pok\u00e9mon Scarlet and Pok\u00e9mon Violet Switch versions for yourself once the free updates are out on June 5, alongside the launch of the Switch 2.
