Loaded it up just now on my switch to see if I was just crazy and 4chan was right. Nope, the game is still amazing compared to scarlet. The character moves correctly, the game performs well, it's easy to choose a pokemon to throw out for battle, I can actually ride my mount without feeling autistic. Also the town at night looks amazing and the music is amazing.

If you disagree, fuck you. If you haven't played it, emulate it and see for yourself.
