I'm not really getting why this is an argument since it's not an either or thing. Both poor optimization and the weak hardware of the Switch are factors in the poor performance of Pokemon SV. The more power there is the less poor optimization will lead to performance that bad.

CLEARLY the average gamer doesn't care about technical performance, or the switch wouldn't be so successful. Technical performance is a want by core gamers. It isn't a need because the masses don't care. Could you imagine if I said all cars need 400 horsepower to go 0 to 60 in 4 seconds, and any car that doesn't is a technical failure? And proceeded to play that off as a fact that everyone has to accept and agree too? |
There's been a ton of criticism towards the performance though since it runs badly even for Switch and Pokemon standards. The average gamer does care about technical performance, Pokemon is just too strong of a brand for it to hamper sales to a notable degree without it being literally broken and they care more about there being a stable framerate and no hitches than the fps being high.
