This is due to “CRO loading” so for now this is normal. Underclocking Citra in the system tab might help with that but emulation will become unstable so you can expect crashes and freezes. Use it at your own risk. Having smooth perfect frame pacing 24/7 is not really possible yet on Citra. Sorry for the inconvenience.

That’s quite alright, especially now that I know this is simply normal. Thanks for the quick reply. But now I’m curious, does this “CRO loading” thing apply to every game, or just some of them?

It’s not limited to just those games, but Pokemon games are nutorious for the amount of CRO loading they use.
