My son love it, he plays all the time and he was happy

Yes yes yes. I love this game. Open map and good story line. Easy to follow, even for first time pokemon gamers.

Needed to be pushed back another 6 months. Performance issue and glitches galore but so man quality of life Improvements and the best story I’ve seen in a Pokémon game balance it out. The most fun I’ve had in a Pokémon game in a long time. Great game, maybe wait till it gets updates to fix the issues.

Great game! There are definitely some bugs but the open world aspect reallt overshadows all of these issues.

Great game. The graphics are amazing and the story line is really good. I really enjoy Pokémon

TL;DR version: Handheld mode probably has bad performance, Games still fun even with its minor to medium performance drops, Make sure you have internet and get version 1.0.1. best price I’d recomend is 49.99 or below if you can. Full Version: I had fun with the game but if choppy framerate and sometimes flashing or popping in textures bother you, I’d be unable to recommend. They added some nice quality of life features like being able to rename pokemon at any time, forget or relearn pokemon moves anywhere. Also the picnic system makes pokemon eggs so much faster to obtain than older games. Some of the new pokemon look cute or cool. The lack choice when it comes to youe characters shirt or pants feels limiting, I get that we’re students in academy and there’s a dress code but come on man. I haven’t played in handheld mode, On an OLED or Lite model but if you plan to play in those modes you might wanna wait for the first dlc or a patch, The handheld modes apparently have some pretty bad performance also you’ll want to have internet for the “Day One Patch” which puts the version number at 1.0.1 which i believe most people who got tons of bugs might be using jailbroken switches that need to be kept offline. Otherwise in the 1.0.1 version I’ve yet to experience any game breaking bugs almost 100 hours in.

The storyline is compelling, with well-developed characters and meaningful themes. Despite occasional slow pacing and minor technical issues, Pokémon Violet revitalizes the series with its immersive adventure, offering something for both veteran players and newcomers.

Runs like doodoo but the Pokemon are good, the world is good, and the story is decent.

Good game I’m enjoying it so far will probably play it with friends after I finish the story

Love this game! Easy to play! Super fun! Great for friends and family

This game is pushing the series in the right direction. It is the most fun i have had with any main line series Pokemon entry and it is the Perfect blend of some highlights fron Legends Arceus and past main series games. Despite its occasional technical discrepencies, the game is still playable and enjoyable. Hoping they continue to expand upon this region with DLC. I just can’t put it down. Definitely recommend it to all Pokemon players, new and old alike!

Gameplay is fun. I like a lot of the new mechanics. Graphically I think they overshot for what the switch hardware can handle. Lot of framtate drops and lag. Mons and npc's pop in out of nowhere all the time and objects moving in the distance look bad. Still really enjoyed the game. Although sometimes the graphical issues break the immersion a bit.

Been having a blast, first pokemon I've played in a few generations

one of the best pokemon games in a long time. a little buggy, and the world needs more things to see, but very fun nonetheless. love the open world and the updated textures and models on the pokemon. a little on the easy side but not as bad as sword/shield

Fun to play, graphics are a little off but very fun

My grandson wanted this for Christmas! He loves it!

Great game for Pokémon lovers, has a few bugs it seems, but hopefully they will work them out

Great game, just a little buggy sometimes, had a great time though

Whether you're a new pokemon player or a die hard fan this generation of Pokemon will keep you entertained. There are some noticeable bugs, glitches, and performance issues in certain areas of the game. BUT, if you look past it you will have a good time with this game.
