TPC I'm pretty sure has more power over the Pokemon IP hence why it took so long for a older Pokemon mainline title to come to Switch (and not in NSO).

I'm about to start Pokemon Scarlet on my Switch 2 - gonna get the DLC before I boot it up.

I'm still playing through Persona 5 Royal on my Switch OLED.

I'm saying, it's a much better game than the ones on the Switch right right now, for a third of their price. This isn't just my opinion, it's long been talked in the community about how the old games were so much better than everything after gen 5 (6 was the last generation I liked actually), just for every new game to keep selling dozens upon dozens of copies anyway, so this will be no different.

I recently did Pokémon Violet and am now playing Persona 3 Reload.

SW2 helps a lot to paper over the cracks with S/V. There's still some blatantly poor and unpolished areas but I had a good time with it. Also it doesn't give much direction on the order to do things so I had to look that up to avoid just barreling in to way higher level places lmao.
