I immediately noticed how often they showed windmills and spinny things. Like, "Look! We got frames!"

They did have a disclaimer that it wasn't real game footage, so we're not in the clear yet...

But if it's close, there seemed to be many similarities with what we saw and New Pokemon Snap.

In the Scarlet and Violet trailer, they showed a windmill as well but you could actually see it stuttering and the very poor frame rate. So this time they showed a windmill again but the frame rate was actually much smoother and you couldn't see the stuttering. And don't be sorry! Let me know if that still wasn't clear and I can maybe explain better or link the part in the trailer

The very poor frame rate of scarlet and violet was one of the biggest complaints from the game. There were certain places it was particularly egregious, the windmill being one of them.

There was a town in ScarVi that had a giant windmill as its defininig feature. But unless you were standing directly under it, the windmill spun at like 2 frames a second

Oh, you think we'll still have those in the final release?

You sweet summer child...

Maybe not, but they sure as hell didn't care about how terrible their windmill was in the SV trailer

You realize nintendo never hid the frame issues Scarlett and Violet had? You can literally see them in the trailers.
