How to play Pokemon Scarlet on Steam Deck
Best answer

To get Pokemon Scarlet running on your Steam Deck, you first need to install Windows on your Steam Deck because Pokemon Scarlet is a Nintendo Switch exclusive and wouldn’t run directly on SteamOS. After installing Windows, use an emulator like Yuzu or Ryujinx, which can run Switch games. Just keep in mind you'll need to legally own the game to use it on the emulator. Then, download Pokemon Scarlet's ROM from your purchased copy, load it onto the emulator, and voila! You're all set to play Pokemon Scarlet on your Steam Deck.

Just grab an emulator and the Pokemon Scarlet ROM. Easy peasy. But make sure it's all legal, folks!

Honestly, it's more trouble than it's worth. Just play it on the Switch. The experience is optimized for the console, and you don't have to jump through hoops to make it work.

I managed to play Pokemon Scarlet on my Steam Deck using the Yuzu emulator, and it was surprisingly smooth! Definitely recommend going this route if you don't mind the setup process.
