    Research Before Purchasing Pokemon Violet

    Ok, so I'm going to start with performance issues. You can expect drops in FPS throughout the game and crashes later on in the game due to issues with memory and what not. I'm quitting well before end-game, but I've watched reviews and videos on youtube. Terrain abilities are going to cause significant FPS drops. Graphics aren't the worst I've seen, but they're no where near the best. Attack animations are smaller in scale than previous games and are pretty lackluster. Like, you're not going to have this big display of power anymore. The pokedex is not impressive at all. The newer pokemon are all pretty dull and they seem to have selected all the boring pokemon from previous generations to incorporate into the gen-9 pokedex. Undoubtedly this was done with the intention of pushing out more interesting pokemon in future DLC's to make them more attractive for purchase. This was my big deal breaker: If you plan on competitive play and breeding pokemon, synchronize does not work anymore with encounters so be ready to farm rare pokemon for hours with no control over their natures. You can use mints, but it's too much work either way. As someone that's extremely O.C.D. and a perfectionist, this was finally killed it for me. If you don't know what that ability's secondary effect is, it forces specific natures on pokemon you encounter in the wild. Natures and characteristics both effect pokemon stats. It's just going to make the game even more tedious. I'm returning this product this evening.

    This game is fun but I can’t give it 5 stars because of the performance issues that plague it. As an open world Pokémon game it delivers but it seems washed out and stuttery. I hope patches continue to improve it

    Besides Legends Arceus. The game definitely has some performance issues, but no where near as bad as people are making it seem in my opinion. The story, and characters are great, along with the new Pokémon and gameplay elements.

    ABSOLUTELY LOVE this Game. I am fairly new to Pokemon gaming and love area zero and the new interactive features. We also love that the entire family can play and completing the Dex. Love the shiny charm and how you can purchase various items to create the TMs or special items.

    This is an average experience and a worst performing game. Don’t by this unless you are a diehard fan…and even then it’s rough. How does the company with the #1 intellectual property roll out a product like this? So much promise….
