I finished the main quest of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet’s new The Teal Mask DLC and found it a pretty representative experience of the original game. It has a lot of cool ideas, a good story, and a whole lot of performance trouble. But considering I’ve put over 120 hours into Violet since November, that is not going to stop me from doing everything else the DLC has to offer. There are a lot of side-quests to wrap up, Pokémon to catch, and now that Torterra has been added to the game, I’ve got four of my six favorite Pokémon to hang out with in the Paldea region. So I’m not about to let some devastating framerate drops stop me from doing cool Pokémon shit. — Kenneth Shepard
