Nah that is entirely Gamefreaks fault. BOTW, Mario odyssey and plenty of other games come in at a respectable frame-rate and without the bugs that Pokemon Vs had. |
I don't disagree that it is Gamefreaks fault.
But an overclocked Switch is a game changer for many games on Switch.

A powerful new console and a next gen portable would've been even worse, and there's no way they'd give up their portable line and go all in on a home console alone when historically their portables have always sold more. Unifying their product lines, as they did with Switch, was really the only viable path forwards. |
Microsoft doesn't seem to have many issues... Building for Series X and Series S as well as supporting the Xbox One and One X still.
You can build one game for multiple platforms and scale assets up and down, game engines are dynamic, the issue Nintendo had was their Handhelds were typically a generation behind their home consoles from a hardware feature set perspective.
That issue disappeared when they adopted off the shelf components from nVidia. - Tegra X1 has the same feature set (DX11 class) as the Xbox One and Playstation 4 and even in a few aspects can exceed those.
The rest is just scaling visuals to match the performance.
The end goal is to purchase a single game and use it across multiple devices.

In fact, if they tried to develop that game within the time constraints they had, on more powerful hardware equivalent to PS4/XOne, it would have turned out so much worse. And unless they change their approach, that is precisely the direction that Pokemon is headed. |
That's a baseless assertion, that never happened.
