Customer Ratings & Reviews

Yes, the game is glitchy, the graphics are subpar by Nintendo Switch standards, and 100% GameFreak should have made sure the game was complete before releasing; however, it is a truly unique and fresh take on the Pokemon formula. Excluding Arceus, it is the most fun I’ve had with a mainline pokemon game in a while. Definitely recommend a play through.

With the addition of Pokémon Scarlet (and Pokémon Violet) added to my growing Pokémon game collection, my new adventure continues. New adventure means new regions to explore and new Pokémon to catch. I really like the colorful artwork and graphics. It’s crisp and clear, giving it a sense of realism even though it is a game. Many hours of fun with this game.

This is easily the largest Pokemon game to date, with so many things to do and creatures to capture in the series' first open world that fans will be playing it for years. The visual issues and glitches hold it back a bit, but nothing that breaks the game. Just don't expect it to rival something like Monster Hunter or Elden Ring in execution.

Amazing game! I played it for 24 hours straight, would definitely play it again and would highly suggest it for anyone new to pokemon

The product - the Nintendo Switch card - works perfectly fine as advertised and receives 5 stars. The content of the product - the game itself - 3 stars. There are lots of visual glitches in Pokemon Scarlet that detract from the quality of the game and disrupt the immersion of the player. The poor traversal of terrain in this faux open-world game is frustrating. You may as well not try to explore the world until you unlock all of the mobility options (follow Arven's Herba Mystica quest for that). The rest of the game is a standard Pokemon game with cool characters and unique new gameplay options, but the amount of bugs really makes it hard to enjoy.

Great game, minor bugs. Patch notes in the future shohld fix it

My son likes it and it was right on time. He confirmed that it was his best Christmas gift ever.

Runs a bit choppy at times, but it’s a great game nevertheless

I hadn’t played a Pokémon game since the days of Pokémon red, yellow, green, and blue. I figured I’d try Scarlett to see what the modern games are like and I instantly got hooked. The graphics are great and the gameplay is as fun as I remember. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a fun game to play by themselves or with their kids

The game is great and very fun, there are some bugs thouhg.

The game is great and its really fun it has a couple of glitchs

Its has bugs and glitches but overall its still a lot of fun

I have not played a Pokemon game since Heart Gold. So as you can imagine this is a big change. The graphics are great. Gameplay took some getting use to, but not that different from the old way. Great game for Pokemon veterans and rookies.

I grew up playing Pokemon Silver, Crystal, Ruby, Saphire, Leaf Green, Emerald and stopped after that. I did just buy a Switch and bought this new version and wow this game just isnt the same like the good old days. It isnt bad but its so different. Enjoyable but some things are much better back then, Overall I'm having fun with it

Very fun game, and worth the price. You can spend a lot of time shiny hunting. A little buggy due to the open world environment

Bought this copy for my son who have never played Pokemon before but loves dinosaurs. Then I bought Violet for myself. He loves seeing all the different pokemon and exploring together. Gameplay was fun and even though he is 6 he was able to understand and get pretty far on his own.

Best storyline. Bugs are numerous but not unbearable

Good game amazing story amazing music just lots of bugs

It was an actual attempt to make it an open world more so than the lazy GTA trilogy upgrade. It is an actual good game, but the constant technical problems really hold this back. I recommend waiting a little longer until the updates fix the major issues.

I remember playing the red and blue titles on the original Gameboy when I was a kid but to see and play these new Pokemon titles on the new OLED Nintendo Switch I bought at best buy as well brings back that nestalgia from when I was a kid love pokemon violet and scarlet.
