Granddaughter is anxious to get this Pokemon Scarlet for Christmas. She loves any Pokemon game and trading cards. Guess she will be getting what she wants this year. Granny to the rescue!

This game would have been a Perfect pokeMon game but it’s the technical glitches and performance it’s what keeping it from the perfect Pokémon game but I enjoyed my time with the game

Personally not too big a fan of this Pokemon game. I’m more into the traditional style game. But others will enjoy it for sure.

I read the reviews on this game before i bought it and they weren't promising! I decided to buy it anyway and I'm pleasently surprised at how much i like it!! Totally recommend!!

Honestly it’s passable. Really cool concepts and world to explore, but the graphics and framerate are absolutely terrible. The switch has proven to do better (tears of the kingdom)

While the graphical issues are certainly a blow against this newest Pokemon entry, the story and characters shine. This is the first game in awhile where I actually LIKE the characters and getting to know them. It definitey needs more polish, and I think could have been pushed back for that polishing without TPC suffering any sort of loss. Nintendo, Pokemon Company, Gamefreak. Give your games more time. Don’t rush them out as underbaked messes only made playable by week one patches. Finish them right; we can wait.

Despite bugs, I think the game has made some leaps and bounds to a true open-world setting and yeah, it's not my favorite gen, but I wish I had my favorite gen in a game like this.

While it saddens me to say this I kind of regret buying Pokémon Scarlet. With all the bugs and glitches it has this game shouldn’t have been release to the public yet. Even if this was a non-issue the gameplay feels like a huge downgrade from Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield. Everything from the subpar plot to the massive nerf in difficulty, having what I can confidently say is the worst Elite 4 and Champion ever created in the franchise’s history Shiny hunting is a huge nightmare to do as there is no indicator to show if a Pokémon is shiny or not besides their outward appearance…. And seeing as how most of the new Pokémon’s shiny forms are barely any different from the original color palette it is quite easy to walk past a shiny Pokémon without even knowing it. I am also disappointed with the massive downgrade in character customization options. The players will be stuck with only 4 different school uniforms to choose from which are all visually unappealing to me, with the only changeable items being the bag, socks, shoes, gloves, hats and glasses. Unless there are free massive updates to improve the game I highly recommend spending your money on a different game.

Super fun game! my partner is loving the open world concept from Arceus without the pokémon literally attacking you. Great choice for those who found Arceus to be too intense

This is a game I bought for my sons birthday. He tells me it is a great addition to his other Pokemon games. I have seen him spend hours playing it for lots of enjoyment.

Purchased this game for my son and husband and they have been playing non-stop! The game has so many features that everyone can have their own unique way of playing the game.

Pokemon scarlet and violet is a great look at what pokemon could be in the future with updated hardware and proper love & care to ensure it arrives as a complete package , instead of riding the wave of the “Pokémon “ namesake. The stepping stones are there but it falls short with many graphical issues, bugs, dated graphics and overall poor optimization. I have though enjoyed my time within the world of Paldea as well as the new pokemon, I look forward to what the future of pokemon may bring.

The graphics are not actually good but now I have your attention. This is the most fun I have had since pokemon soul silver. Great game and bad performance but worth it all.

Havent finished the gane yet but its a newer take on pokemon which is resdreshing. It is true there are bugs and performance issues but nothing game breaking that ive come across. Do i regret buying it? No. Could i have waited to buy it? Probably yes. Some things i wish were better. 1) the overworld pokemon are too freaking small. I cant see what they are when hunting for polemon. 2) the map seems a lot of empty space. Thise are my biggest two complaints aside from the bug and performance issues

Open world pokemon just like I remembered as a child but now truly immersive and open to walk, see, and catch many pokemon from many different generations. Must have!

[Employee of bestbuy] Game is still in a pretty poor state and the frame rate is still not great.

It is an incredible game you can see the Pokémon in their habitat while you are walking it is an incredible experience for children and adults I recommend you buy it

Love pokemon but this game has performance issues. The gameplay is very fun like always and has a great endgame! The fps leaves something ti be desired though.

In the immortal words of AlphaRad: “Pokemon Scarlet and Violet are phenomenal games to me because what makes them good is so GOOD, and what makes it bad is so FUNNY”

It's been enjoyable to play. I haven't seen the glitches everyone talks about but I feel it's been some slow play. Still enjoying the franchise 25 years later.
