I'm on a N3ds XL and yeah, the game runs buttery smooth in 1v1 battles but immediately chugs as soon as 3 or more pokemon are on screen. 2v1 when an opponent calls for help aren't too bad but it is noticeable. Totem battles (the aura seems to also cause issues) and battle royales are total poo poo shows. I weep for the people playing on old 3DS systems.

Does Luma n3DS overclocking do anything for this?

Snorunt into Glalie or Froslass. Never made much sense to me. Or larvitar's line. Not to sure why pupitar exists.

Once you realize it you'll never be able to unsee it. Octillery isn't a tank though, it's an artillery cannon. Four arms to lock it in place and then a cannon mouth.

e: Also Mantine has Remoraids under its wings. It's a fighter jet with guns.

I mean yeah it swims around like a fish doing fish things, but it's also very unambiguously designed after a gun and the evolution line isn't meant to be interpreted as "fish into octopus" but rather "marine life-based gun into marine life-based cannon"

Trip report: Sort of. It makes it better (or seems to, may be a placebo effect) but does not eliminate the slowdown.

E: Seems to still struggle with wide, sweeping camera shots with more than two pokemon on screen.

Look at the colours on Tyranitar. Pupitar is its belly. The evolution line is Larvitar building a giant mech version of itself.

Heh, I didn't know that was a thing, but that does make that easily solved.

Poké Pelago is interesting. Kinda funny too cos you need lots of Pokémon to put in your box solely so you can unlock the next rank of upgrades and feeding them is only encouraged. Yay for slave labour??
