I feel like us looping to Pokemon this quickly is going to mirror what'll happen with this stream. She's gonna talk about the Switch 2 itself for maybe thirty minutes and then the rest of the stream will be about the state of modern Pokemon.

SV's biggest problem are just being painfully unoptimised so giving them a bit more room to breathe on better hardware will improve the situation a bit. I've seen people getting them running better on modded overclocked Switch systems too, the stock Switches really do amplify the problems.

Better specs wouldn't change the fact that the underlying spaghetti code is a liability though, it'll just buy them a bit more time until they hit this wall again in a few games' time, since each game's development cycle basically involves piling more shit on top of the already overwhelming mess from the previous one. Ideally they'd take some time to clean everything up under the hood (and there's a part of me really rainbow-stickering that the radio silence on Z-A has been because they've been working on that), but that's also time-consuming for a series on strict release schedules - especially since Pokémon games need to remain compatible with each other, which is a consideration most JRPGs don't have to worry about.
I finally got around to playing SV recently and there's a scene in the beginning of the game where you're in the classroom and a bunch of students are swinging their legs at their desks. Such a simple animation dropped the FPS to like 10.

She really doesn't have any vidya-related obsessions left after the Chilla's Art divorce, huh?

I know the exact part you're talking about, and I literally laughed out loud the first time I saw it.

She mentioned recently when talking about genshit that she's only got about an hour or so a day now for games so probably not much outside of what she plays on stream and pokemon go.

just get a PC/PS5/Xbox game but with worse graphics and performance issues.
This is more of a fault of modern game devs being unable to properly compress and optimize their games. Especially considering hardware manufacturers are now trying to cope with them by doing dumb fuckin' AI FRAMES.

Its honestly a shame, If in a magical world where Nintendo and gamefreak were not Japanese them putting it on PC would have done wonders. It looks great when it's emulated and running at 60fps but you just don't get a fraction of that on its intended hardware.
The problems with Pokemon have more to do with TPCi forcing a yearly launch schedule on a game studio still operating like they're making sprite games for the DS instead of a more reasonable development time for moderately HD development.
Pokémon games need to remain compatible with each other, which is a consideration most JRPGs don't have to worry about.
I don't even think they even consider this anymore considering the national dex cut. If you transfer a Pokemon from HOME to SV and it doesn't have a compatible movepool it gets a default one assigned to it based on its current level iirc.
Internal stats and data wise? I don't think that should be hard to keep up with considering romhackers and modders don't seem to ever have a problem with this AFAIK.

Guys, I know this is technically the Pippa thread, but I also know that this is basically a thread for general sperging. So, I didn't go to work since Friday because I just can't take it anymore with all the sleepless days and nights. I plan on going back to work on Friday night. I think the chances that I majorly fucked up are pretty high, and I might have just lost my job now.

Honestly fuck it, I'll be kinda glad to lose this job. Night shifts are just the worst. It fucks up pretty much everything in your life. You can't have a social life, because everyone is asleep when you're done working; you're just tired all the time during daytime and want to use the little time you have to get a little bit of sleep. You don't even get to spent much time with your own family, because most of the time they are sleeping when you get home from work. The only benefit it provides is that you basically do zero work during your shift.
I'm fully aware that my future job search will probably look like this, but fuck it, at leat I can have a normal sleep schedule now.


Edit: Sorry for the small drama dump; I'm drunk, and I will probably regret posting this when I wake up tomorrow.

HR HATE!
I applied somewhere once and HR "lost" my resume and application. I only got the job because a mutual acquaintance working there had to ask them what was the hold up.
HR HATE!
