The Pokemon CompanyPokemon Scarlet and Violet players have discovered a way to make the games run better on Nintendo Switch and fix issues plaguing the Gen 9 titles.

Simple trick fixes Pokemon Scarlet & Violet performance issues
In a tweet making rounds on Elon Musk’s social media platform, user Fawful’s Minion reported that they were able to make Pokemon Scarlet run better by changing up something in the Switch settings.
“I moved Pokemon Scarlet from the SD card memory to the system memory, and now it runs WAY more consistent,” they wrote. “Like, as in…the places that used to be a slideshow are now just fine.”
In order to do this, players must do the following:
- Go to Nintendo Switch settings.
- Proceed to Data Management.
- Select Move data from systems/microSD card.
- Go to move to system memory and select the game.
NintendoPlayers have reported seeing a “night and day” difference once doing this, so it seems to have drastically affected the game’s performance.
Of course, if you still find yourself experiencing many issues, consider asking Nintendo for a refund. The company has surprisingly begun issuing refunds amid backlash.
