PS: sources have said "don't remove joycons whilst the Switch is docked" cause it can cause scratches. So undock first then remove joycons. Something to do with how hard you gotta press the release buttons on the joycons, that pushes the Switch forward and scratches down the screen.

It's just mild frame drops on the system's very first real game, which is more or less a port of a game than ran on different architecture. I wouldn't jump to conclusions.

Lobbies and stuff in general, are tied to the network phone integration stuff that doesn't exist yet. (Lol at that) but I would assume it will get lobbies and matchmaking when they, you know, exist on the system. They might not want to waste resources build something they don't have to, or it might not eve be possible to do that stuff until later.

Game Freak already made HD assets of all the Pokemon. They future proofed themselves. They've been having the problem of needing to downscale for 3DS hardware. The rumored Pokemon Stars will shine on Switch.

“Pokemon has been about being portable, but now there is the Switch, which is a portable home console, so it has a bigger screen and higher specs than we’re used to,” Ishihara said, as translated by NeoGAF user StreetsAhead. “Apart from main games, we make stuff like Pokkén [Tournament] and [Pokémon Mystery] Dungeon, so I am thinking we should make games that suit the Switch, but at this time I cannot confirm any projects.”

Ishihara added that if they were to develop games primarily for the Switch, it would have to be different from the way they’ve handled making portable games in the past, but wouldn’t elaborate. It’s still unclear if the company intends to release a game like Pokémon Sun or Moon for the console.

I'm choosing to read into it that the Switch port is a last minute thing that they are spending extra money to port over quickly in time to launch it simultaneously on all platforms.

There's enough reports of the Switch being easy to develop for and the developer kit being super cheap compared to other consoles that I can't really think of another good reason for the price difference beyond having to rush it.

its not being released simultaneously

Or, a subscription to all VC titles for the Switch which is included in the online service subscription, hike the price to $59 a year which is in line for Sony and Microsoft, give full access to the library of NES/SNES ports, and you would see the Switch penetrate deep into an install base on this lead alone, basically forcing 3rd party to take notice due to the sheer amount of the target market. They aren't doing this. And they are missing out on a huge value add right here, which basically just amounts to backward compatibility anyway, but this time on the go.
