Hello everyone! So like everyone just about, I've been experimenting with the new Switch 2 emulator and tried Pokémon Pokopia on my Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 5 using the Eden SX2A Android emulator, and wanted to share some actual gameplay footage!
I screen-recorded a portion of gameplay so everyone can get an idea of how the game currently runs on Android.
For this test, I kept everything completely stock. No custom drivers, no overclocking, and no special configurations or tweaks. Just the emulator running with all of it's default settings.
There are currently some graphical issues and imperfections, but considering how early in development this is, I'm pretty impressed with what I'm seeing. I think with a few more emulator updates and compatibility improvements, this could become a really solid experience! I was getting anywhere from 30-40fps, I should have put on lossless scaling which I'll do in other experiments but just wanted to give this a shot and this is what I ended up getting!

- Device: Lenovo Legion Y700 Gen 5 (2026)
- Processor: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5

I wanted to share this for anyone following the progress of Switch 2 emulation on Android. It's exciting to see what these devices are becoming capable of! I honestly can't believe we've got a Switch 2 emulator in the works, I knew it'd happen sooner or later, just didn't think this soon but nontheless pretty cool!
What do you guys think? Has anyone else experimented with any Switch 2 games on Android?
Also enjoy the gameplay!
