    I’m very impressed with this game. As a player of the old classic Pokémon games, this one really sticks out in a good way. I love the different adventures and the open world! This is the best Pokémon game yet!

    This is the most fun I've had with a pokemon game in a while. I just completed my dex catching all in game pokemon. It was fun to trade, explore, and do raid battles with my brother who has violet. The framerate and performance issues didn't affect my overall enjoyment of the game.

    I don't know what I was expecting when I initially purchased this game. It didn't turn out bad nor good, in my experience playing this game. I guess, I just miss the old Pokémon format. Overall, great game, works and run fine if you don't mind the frame rate issues.

    Graphics are good. Story is for the most part the standard pokemon story but there are three storylines and you can do them in any order. The gimmick for this game "Terastallize" is a bit odd like mega evolution but the pokemon can change it's typeb and sport a big hat. Overall not a bad entry for the pokemon series.

    Ive almost beaten the game and have had zero issues with glithes like some of the 1 star reviews state. I dont even have a crazy new switch either. Think of Legends Arceus but with a traditional story line with the gyms and elite 4. So freaking good! Plus some extra story lines.

    This game is super fun to play and it’s cool that you get to choose your journey. I like then aspect of attending classes in the game and getting to choose between following the Pokémon league route, the titan route, the team star route, or just collecting Pokémon!

    I would usually rate a main series Pokemon game 5/5 but this has launched with way to many glitches. For the most part the gameplay is great and has a decent story just like any average pokemon game, online multiplayer just has poor implementation.

    If not for the buggy mess the game was released. I would give it five stars, but the story and characters along with the Pokémon that can be caught in the game is overall excellent.

    When you don’t run into the frame rate issues then the game plays very well. Also there is clipping problems and other goofy stuff like weird camera issues, and NPC’s walking through battles. I would recommend getting on a sale.

    Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are great titles regardless of what some people are saying. Its ambitious and extremely fun, and of course its an open world pokemon game, what more can you ask for. Its better than legends arceus even with a few bugs or glitches here and there. The best part about this game is how easy it is to obtain shiny Pokemon and not just one but multiple. Scarlet & Violet are great and should be experienced by all Pokemon fans, i definitely recommend it if your a fan of the series.

    This game feels unfinished There are a lot of bugs and the open world feels empty at times That being said, if you want a pokémon game with story and interesting characters, this does a great job!
