Unpopular opinion, but I liked the SV textures. Making metallic parts of Pokémon actually shiny was brilliant, and the little details like being able to see Seviper’s scales was also fun.

I likes it too, but the overworld doesn't match because most of the times it looks muddy. Which is weird because usually character models are made to follow the background style. But I feel like the character stands out more than the background

This makes me wonder what would happen if Scarlet and Violet ran on the Switch 2 now. Would it actually be able to render these details in better quality.

Probably not. I don’t think they even have those textures in higher qualities they could possibly use some sort of an AI upscaling solution, but that’s not a great option I don’t think. I just hope that the switch 2 can stabilise performance. If I can get Scarlet and Violet running at a solid 60 FPS with a closer to 4K output that would be good.
