So, we’ve all been eagerly waiting for the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet free Switch 2 upgrade, right? Well, Nintendo finally spilled the beans on what we can expect from this much-anticipated update. And guess what? The Pokémon Company decided to tease us even further by dropping a couple of screenshots to give us a taste of what’s to come on the Switch 2 version.
Not really sure why this matters, but the screenshots were unveiled on the Scarlet and Violet Korean website, confirming that they are indeed from the Switch 2 upgrade. And let me tell you, there are only two measly snaps to ogle at, so don’t get your hopes up too high. The upgrade seems to be less of a major overhaul than we all secretly wished for, but hey, at least it gives us a glimpse of the enhanced spawn radius, Pokémon density, and those fancy 4K visuals we’ve been dreaming of.
Okay, let’s be real here. The overall design still looks a bit naff, doesn’t it? I mean, it’s not like we’re blown away by the upgrade, but it does kinda sorta resemble what we expected the Switch 2 version to look like. Nintendo did mention that the visuals would be optimized for the new display and high-resolution TVs, with an improved frame rate for smoother gameplay. So, maybe it’s just me, but I feel like this upgrade isn’t exactly a game-changer. But hey, what did we really expect? Perfect-looking modern Pokémon games? Yeah, right. Let me know in the comments if you think these screenshots are enough to warrant all the hype.
