Poll of the Day > This game is frustratingly slow

(+) Yeah! (+)

Wait for Raid lobbies

Wait for Dynamax transformations

Wait for weather effects to hit everyone one at a time in raid battles

Wait for everyones stats to drop during raid battles

Wait for the entire cooking minigame that takes way too long

Beat the Champion Cup. Wait while Pokeball Guy deliberates for 6 seconds to decide to give you 3 heal balls

Wait for loading screens

Wait for [Character] to finish speaking during cutscene that isnt necessary.

This series has been around for over 20 years. They should know how to cut the fat by now.

Ugh, I thought I was in the Pokmon Sword board. Im tired

---

its still faster than D/P

Im 17 hours in and have 5 badges now. there are a lot of Pokmon available to catch and like 95% of them are terrible
---

DP should be the gold standard for what not to do though, especially after everyone complained about how slow that one was.

Youd think theyd learn their lesson, but I guess this is Game Freak we're talking about

---

D/P/Pt are my favorite non-remakes in the series tbh
---

the games speed is fine, you're just overly impatient.

and the longest loading screen in the game is the one when you first start, at around 9 seconds long.

the second longest is when flying somewhere which is around 3 to 4 seconds.

tf loading screens are you seeing that they're too long

Its still faster than every pokemon game since gen 4, other than 5.

---

When it comes to game speed, gen 3 was awesome. In general, I'm still disappointed that we got the Switch instead of a proper handheld or that they didn't just continue the 3DS.
