Hahahaha, I wish you were right.

In some games it's really bad. For example, people speedrun Pokémon Scarlet instead of Violet because Miraidon's jet engines lag the game more, costing them minutes over a full run (despite that fact that there are Violet exclusive shortcuts). Source

Nintendo/TPC: "See, this is why you need to buy both (or all three) versions of a Pokemon game, every time we release and re-release them. Our lawyers will be in contact if you choose not to comply."
