For The 5th Anniversary, Unite Desperately Needs A Massive Performance Rework (Like What Hok Got)

Muk0089 · April 25

With Pokémon UNITE’s 5th anniversary coming up this July 2026, I really hope the devs are planning something bigger than just new Holowear or another broken Pokémon release. and another bad decisions. We desperately need a massive, top-to-bottom performance overhaul.

Honestly, the menu UI and lobby lag have been incredibly sluggish for way too long. But the absolute worst part right now is the loading speed, especially entering draft matches.

So many players get stuck on the loading screen, which completely messes up the start of the match. It’s incredibly frustrating to lose your early-game pathing or get invaded just because the game wouldn't load fast enough. Plus the game struggles on some Android phones and in Nintendo Switch 1 too. Low end devices are struggling to keep up with the demand of Pokemon UNITE.

The developers or TPC should prioritize improving performance, stability, security, and network improvements.

Look at what Honor of Kings did back on July 14, 2025. They did a massive sweep that actually improved things:

Smoother multi-scene loading: They sped up ranked room creation by 30% and cut down match entry times.
Faster UI: Opening the shop or hero screens was shortened by 25%.
Stable Frame Rates: They optimized laggy issues on low-end devices and stabilized the FPS across the board.

Since TiMi Studios is behind both games, we know they have the capability and the tech to pull this off!

For the big 5-year milestone, please just give us a smoother lobby, instantly responsive UI menus, faster loading times into draft, and stable in-game performance. A clean, lag-free experience would honestly be the best anniversary gift the community could ask for.
