    Yes, these games do not run the best. You'll encounter some Pokemon spawning in the side of hills and the framerate can tank during outbreaks and other instances. However, this has been some of the most fun I've had in a Pokemon game in ages. A lot of mechanics from Arceus were used or tweaked for this game and it blends with the standard "Fight trainers, get gym badges, etc" formula pretty well. Definitely worth playing even with the issues, which will hopefully be fixed in future patches.

    My game has crashed at least 4 times and I have constant lag when entering new areas or during the sandstorms. It’s still been fun though and I enjoy the co-op mode.

    Open world pokemon game is different and very fun, but the game performance is rough on the Switch OLED. I still recommend if you enjoy playing the Pokemon games!

    I purchased Pokemon Violet, so I also needed Scarlet to catch everything in this game also. Many hours will fly by as you hunt around the different areas finding Pokemon and having battles. Enjoy the ride!

    The latest installment of Pokemon is pretty wild, getting more out of your money indeed. I actually have been looking forward to this version and I'd definitely recommend purchasing a copy. Thanks for reading.

    A close second to the best Pokémon game I’ve ever played! See my Violet review, as the only thing that sets Scarlet a little behind is that the color of the school uniform sucks compared to Violet’s!

    Best Pokemon game in years

    The gameplay is probably the best it has been since Gen 2, catching Pokemon has never been more fun. The endgame stuff after the Elite 4 is also great, hopefully they expand more on it with DLC. Overall this is like a cross between Legends Arceus (which was great) and Sword/Shield (which IMO were a big let down). The future of this series is bright. Now hire some capable developers or delay the game next time, it does not run well at all and this is not due to the Switch.

    Fun game, shuts down randomly sometimes, but I haven't had any "unknown error occured" followed by a restart, while I was in the middle of accomplishing anything. Just while running around.

    A fun game, a great new expansion to the series. Feels like it could have used a little more top end polish.

    The game doesn't run consistently well. And there are many bugs as of now. Switch hardware can't keep up and/or the game isn't optimized correctly

    It’s Pokemon at the end of the day

    With Scarlet and Violet, you’ll be traversing an open world of Pokémon game and be able to control exactly where you want to go, when you want to go, and how fast you go there. The game does not run very well but at the same time you probably only care about the Pokémon. This game does show that Pokémon as a whole needs to be better for its audience and change the development pattern to ensure their games play proper in the future.

    My 10 year old has been epilating it a lot since we got it. Sometimes the game is hard and he got frustrated but that is part of playing a video game!

    Core gameplay is fun but there is no ignoring the numerous graphical issues that plague the game. But it's still fun and addictive as you'd expect from a Pokemon game.
