It’s great! I’m having a blast so far lol very much like all the other games though that have been out. I love you can change the type of your Pokémon but hate the tetra looks GMax was way cooler in my opinion. Also, lots of glitches and at times work for you better just when it doesn’t it sucks! I overall give this game 4 stars but giving it 5 Bc I love Pokémon and want it to start at 4. These games will never get old lol as long as they give me new Pokémon that aren’t lame looking and so far I’m into it. My picture is a bit of a spoiler on how all the starters Final evolution look. #gottacatchemall

I went in knowing about all the bugs and issues and I went in willingly. I want to run into all of those stupid bugs and I want to laugh at gamefreaks inability to make a good looking Pokémon game on the switch. Pokémon is Pokémon and I got this because I’ve made it a tradition with my sibling to buy the double pack so we can share it.

Overall it is what you paid for, 2 copies of the newest pokemon game at basically regular retail price. only difference to buying them separately is that you get a nice box to store both games, and free pokeball codes for the games.

I really enjoy this game despite the glitches, bugs, and weird framerate.
Like usual pokemon puts out a fantastic storyline and theres lots to do. Lots of new extras and different ways to play! Just remember you need Nintendo online to do online raids and trades!

This game AWESOME…if you can ignore it’s flaws. This extends far better than that appalling diamond and pearl remaster (my favorite games mind you! ) far more free than sword and Shield. It takes what’s good about S&S and applies it to the new game letting you explore freely and battle whomever you choose! No more random battles of older games when your eyes lock! No more having a set order of trainers to battle. The game suffers some Major bugs which crashed my game once some are graphical and frame rate dips. I think a game that is intended only for one console should be flawlessly running on that console. This however wasn’t the case it sure if it was rushed but I wouldn’t have minded waiting for it to be polished fully.

As a Pokémon fan, I was disappointed that this game is absolutely buggy and broken in ways I never even thought was possible. How did this pass quality control,

I'm giving these Pokemon Scarlet and Violet a 4 stars. I like the game play. I wish this game can give me the order to go to fight the right gym trainer based on level. It's a great game so far.

A childhood disappointment

I have grown up playing the Pokemon franchise games my entire life, so my husband and I were absolutely thrilled to experience a new game in the series... instead i was severely disappointed. Ive never returned a Pokémon game, until now. This game had so much potential, and fell so short. I felt it was definitely not worth the full price we paid for it. The game has bugs, the world is so open yet so empty. The first hour or so is filled with so much dialogue that I cant imagine a young kid being able to get into this game. The gym leaders are severely disappointing, too. The puzzles to get to the gym leaders are poorly made minigames, with graphics ive seen equivalent on an old PC in middle school study hall. I just wanted to enjoy this game so much, and ultimately i could not get myself to push on anymore, it just lacks so much, i doubt any young kid will enjoy this if I, an avid fan and almost 30 yr old, struggled to enjoy this game.

Great idea but needs work from developers. Hopefully Nintendo start sending out patches very soon.
