What goal posts have been moved? The game is a mess. Those are the objective facts... And a lot of those issues would be resolved with superior hardware as overclocked Switch consoles have factually proven.
Pokemon between 25-30fps is "common". - It spends majority of that time under 30fps whilst traversing the terrain.
And you WILL get dips down to 10-15fps.
Digital Foundry also states that you will get "extended periods of gameplay" where the game runs at only 20fps. - I have Nintendo 64 games that run better.
Skip to: 7 minutes for that specific quote.
***************************
However... Frametime is the other denominator which you have conveniently ignored, which is the time it takes to display a frame... Aka. 100-150ms is not uncommon.
To put that into perspective, 30fps is 33.3ms per frame.
That's right, you can wait upwards of 3-5 equivalent frames for the next frame to get displayed.
And that my dear-watson is how stutters and frame dips become exacerbated, even if you had a solid frame rate.
It makes the gameplay jerky, unresponsive.
*****************************
And to add to that, the games actual animations, be it Pokemon, Character, Objects and more... Is tied to the framerate, so when the framerate drops, the entire world slows down... And some animations are as low as 2fps.
- Add crappy draw distances.
- Poor texturing.
- Terrible Shadowing/Lighting.
- Basic Geometry.
Add the plethora of bugs... Which you can find a short list here encompassing things like falling out of the game world, invisible barriers, lighting glitches, game crashes.

The game is a technical mess.
IS the game enjoyable? That isn't the point.
Has the game sold well? That also isn't the point. (See Cyberpunk 2077 with 20+ million copies sold.)

I think it is indeed time for you to "leave" this discussion, I have provided plenty of evidence to backup my claims, you have only provided opinions.
I have also played (And returned) the game on my own Switch, so I am not talking out of my ass.
