Pokemon Scarlet and Violet recently received a free update with various technical improvements on Nintendo Switch 2, but a new report from Digital Foundry covers it all in detail. While things aren’t perfect, we have more specifics about how the resolution and frame rate have been improved, plus other tidbits.

Here’s the full roundup:

For years, fans eagerly awaited the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2,  but for some, the transition hasn’t been entirely smooth. A few players are reporting issues involving Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, specifically with save data being lost during the transfer process to the new system.

A post on Reddit brought attention to the situation, with the original poster saying their save file had disappeared after the move. The thread quickly filled with similar stories from others who claim to have faced the same issue. One user, ThatOtaku26, shared that their lost file contained over 1,000 hours of gameplay and included beloved Pokemon carried over from multiple generations, dating back to Pokemon Leaf Green and Pokemon Diamond on the Game Boy Advance and Nintendo DS.

Here’s what they had to say on Reddit:
