When I started playing this game, I wanted to spend as less time in battles as I could, so I put the dialogue speed at max but left move animations on (sometimes turns happened so fast that I couldn't see which move trainers were using). Also, when I wanted to talk to some NPCs that were running in circles or up and down (like pokestops), sometimes I had to block their movement so I could talk to them.

 

But after the update I noticed everything was running a bit slower than usual. Text speed felt like it was set on normal, trainers (like swimmers) move pretty slow even when they move up to me to fight, my own speed has been reduced and even the animation for the pokeball when catching a pokemon felt like it was 0.5 seconds off. Hard to notice for some people, but I got really used to a certain speed and I can tell something is off. It's not gamebreaking, but it's kind of annoying.

 

At first I thought it was me and my PC but then I saw someone else in help chat that also noticed a change in the speed, so I went to the people that are usually online and asked if they also noticed a change. Some told me they didn't, some told me they did. Today I saw more people saying "huh, it feels slow", while others are telling them that it's fine for them.

 

I have been asking other players today that weren't focused on this issue, and a few of them confirmed to me that it is slower than before. One of them pointed out that it could be intended, because some stealth moments in the game were hard for new people due to how fast the npcs move or turn around. So now I should ask: was this speed change intended or something went wrong with the update?

I posted on this earlier but didn't get any helpful replies. I would like to know if this was intentional as well considering the dialogue speed is so slow now. I also noticed that pokemon following you kind of jut around and sometimes move sideways when you turn while walking.

Someone mentioned that going to the settings and removing the FPS limit worked for them, but I haven't tested it myself.

Ok, removing the FPS limit worked for battle and dialogue speed. NPCs still move at half speed, but I can live with that. Ty~
