► Back in 2013, Pokemon had a huge graphical update, going from classic 2D sprites to high quality, high polygon 3D models. As great as the new Pokemon models looked, they presented an issue - they created lag in the games. Today, I'll be taking a look throughout the Pokemon series, and seeing for myself what the LAGGIEST Pokemon game is, and what the most lag possible in Pokemon can be!

When I was younger I thought the lag during battles was just a slo-mo thing for dramatic effect lol

No wonder they removed Triple Battles in Sun and Moon

The moral of the story: Hoopas are laggy.

8:07 “So I think this might actually be a little laggier” Game frickin crashes

"The 3DS can handle all the pokemon" 3DS catches on fire during triple battle

Triple battle + Sandstorm + Hoopa Unbound Maybe a Dynamax = Lag

And then sword and shield comes along with 0 fps on ladders

You could probably lag it a tiny bit more by poisoning all the Hoops as well because of the occasional bubbles of poison that pop out.

I actually never had lag in XY or ORAS with my thousands of hours combined But SM was absolutely killing my 3ds

High quality models for (cough cough) future proofing

Just try a rotation battle (all six pokemon are exposed for both sides) with hoopas or something like that. Your 3DS will beg for it's life in binary.

U forgot to mention necrozma’s Z move “Light that burns the sky”. Holy mother of Arceus that lags a lot

"even to this day, Pokemon has been using the same models since, including the upcoming sword and shield" :^)

Using level 100 reshiram to defeat level 2 scatterbug. I applaud your hard work....

The move “Psychic” in Sword also causes lag on the Switch.
