It’s too gritty and  they should delay the game, im unhappy the game

It’s frustrating seeing as how the game is good, but its filled with glitches. I also wish the double pack gave me more than 100 pokeballs that you can find all over the maps.

Too expensive. Distracting, ruins family dynamics

The game is still fun but you can tell the rushed it

Game broken at start, but patches make it playable.

The game is still super buggy, save frequently while playing so that if you fall through the floor and off the map you don’t lose too much progress.

For being the first open world pokemon game this game just doesn't seem to be very entertaining. Having the freedom to explore is a nice change but the story is just not interesting.

An open world Pokémon that plays worse than a PS3 game. Gamefreak doesn't care though, they're just printing money at this point.

If this was a steak, you'd be eating it raw. The only less finished games I've ever seen released earlier are called No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk 2077 I've bought every Pokemon game for Switch. Even let's go eve and Pikachu. I'd rather replay those 2 for the rest of my life than deal with the lag, bugs and poor QC this game was launched at. (at full price, mind you). Nintendo never discounts Pokemon games so just buy it a year from now when all the paid beta is finished.

I'm literally considering returning this cause they missed the best parts of the Arceus spinoff . . . Stealth catch mechanics? Nope . . . Catch Pokemon without a battle at all? Nope . . . Open world? Sorta . . . Crafting? TMs only . . . Arceus really nailed what Pokemon should be evolving into (no pun intended) and it's obvious that Scarlet and Voilet is a regression from that.

The worst graphics and performance I’ve seen in a video game for the Nintendo Switch

Performance issues are the biggest problem with this game. Other than that it’s a decent Pokémon game.

Played it for 50 minutes and it’s a buggy mess. Wait until gamefreak fixes the bug or don’t? Your choice.

for a pokemon game, it is alright the n64 did it better. For an open-world game... terrible.

This game is full of screen issues and bugs that take away from the whole experience.

It Wasnt what i expected the franchise let me down with this one

It’s almost impressive how a game so ugly also runs so poorly. Made me nostalgic for the gamecube era of video games but quite frankly, that’d be an insult to the gamecube. Easily the worst mainline generation. Legends, just 8 months prior is the better game

How did this make it to store shelves? The state of the game is far below of what expected from a Nintendo game and even previous Pokémon switch games. I would highly recommend that you avoid this game until the issues are resolved.

The only reason i am giving a 1 star is due to the lag that has been happening and no fix yet. All this wait for a pokemon game and they still are unable to fix the issues that it has.

Good luck playing this for very long without it crashing.
