We have to see how much they will botch the performance further with this one!
Its unfortunate SV has gone that way. I was so excited for it, and I actually still am now as the DLC adds some many Pokemons I like

MODERATORS
I'm cautiously excited for these DLCs. The content that Sword and Shield's pass brought were the best in the game, so hopefully that standard continues here. I also really, really enjoyed SV other than the performance issues...which I must have been lucky with because beyond some framerate issues, I didn't experience anything game breaking.
Still not preordering them, but I'll be happy to give them a fair shake with impressions after they release!
I wonder if Yamask is gonna be part of the Teal Mask DLC.
Still, these games are so poor compared to other Switch releases.
Despite all the performance issues and barren open world, the game is still pretty fun. If the DLC is as good as Crown Tundra was in Sw/Sh then I'll end up getting it but I don't do pre-orders.
I was quite annoyed because it was so fun, but the performance and style was just so bad.
I was having a decent time, but thinking how good it couldve been... Yeah that annoys me.
Definitely won't be buying these after the total disaster the base game was. hopefully the next game is a lot more polished. Absolutely no more pre-orders from me though.
The performance of the base game was a hot mess. But I did personally still have fun. It's certainly a pretty flawed game even looking past the performance issues. There's almost no level scaling, despite it being an open world game where level matters massively. And it once again makes it far too easy to be overleveled even if you follow the absolute mess of the "leveled order" (ie, ordering content from lowest to highest level). But that said, the story and exploration was fun. Paradox pokemon were great.
Seeing this immediately after playing ToTK is just...depressing.
There are people doing so much with Pokemon style games. I really want GameFreak to step up their game.
Even Pokémon rom hacks are getting better and more advanced by the year where some games surpass mainline Pokémon games i.m.h.o.
Well, when the game keeps making them bajillion dollars, they don't have any motivation to improve it.
Just hope they get some new blood, who have passion to make the best Pokemon game, and the higher ups let them make it.
Really disappointed in the 1st DLC being pushed from summer to "fall 2023". I'm guessing the 2nd DLC won't actually be "winter 2023" either.
Its probably for the best, knowing the latest rushes/crunches
I'm getting the feeling that they realized that salvaging the performance would require a complete redesign of the game, and just gave up.
The performance patch is not coming. They're just going to push out these dlcs and focus on the upcoming games.
Admitadly, the footage they showed looks far smoother than the games do. It could just be then cherry picking footage, and I'm expecting nothing from GF, but we'll have to see.
We'll see, but I don't think there's any indication at all that the footage is representative of the game.
