Three Pokémon PC Ports Add 4K and 60 FPS Support

Three Nintendo Switch Pokémon games have received unofficial PC ports, bringing Pokémon Brilliant Diamond, Pokémon: Let's Go, Pikachu!, and Pokémon: Let's Go, Eevee! to Windows through fan-developed projects.

The ports introduce several PC-focused features, including mouse and keyboard controls, adjustable graphics settings, and experimental performance improvements.

The Let's Go Recomp project, developed by raulzrrs, uses static recompilation to convert the original Nintendo Switch game code into a Windows-compatible application without traditional CPU emulation.

Both Let's Go games support internal resolutions up to 4K, SMAA anti-aliasing, 16x anisotropic filtering, and customizable keyboard and mouse controls.

An experimental 60 FPS mode is also available for the overworld, although Pokémon battles and capture sequences continue running at 30 FPS. The feature currently requires version 1.0.0 of either game.

The project additionally introduces experimental wild Pokémon battles, offering an alternative to the original games' capture-focused encounters.

Meanwhile, Pokémon Brilliant Diamond has received its own unofficial PC project called uDPR, which rebuilds the game as a Unity application using files supplied by the player.

This version includes windowed, borderless, and fullscreen display options, adjustable internal resolution, frame rate settings, and mouse and keyboard support.

Players can also configure a fast-forward feature with speeds ranging from 2x to 8x and choose between Nintendo Switch and Xbox-style button layouts.

Both projects remain unofficial and are not affiliated with Nintendo or The Pokémon Company.

The developers do not distribute the original game assets, meaning users must supply files from their own legally obtained copies.

Although the ports demonstrate significant progress, compatibility and gameplay limitations remain, and neither project should be considered a fully polished official PC release.
