Customer Ratings & Reviews

The gameplay of these are so much fun. Of course the game has many performance issues that are was too present and really should have been worked out and polished before launch.

Open world take on a very old formula. Its a little much may get a little lost one how to go about but its great to see the Pokemon walking around. Some are to small to see if you dont look out.

Absolutely loved this game! The open world concept was very well done. The new Pokémon felt refreshing and new which is always amazing! Definitely a must buy for any Pokémon fanatic new or old.

Look, there are glitches. But Skyrim has glitches and that's just considered normal and accepted. Could customization be better? Yes, especially Scarlet and it's orange pants. More hairstyles would be nice too. I had fun getting through the story. The gym leaders were fun. The Team was fun. The hunt for the most primo herb was fun. It's not gonna please everyone. I've been playing since Blue and I had a great time. But I also liked Sun and Moon so maybe there's no accounting for taste in my case.

Anyone with a computer or social media account or knows someone with either of those things has probably heard about the bugs/glitches in these games. My experience has been relatively bug/glitch free so far (though I’ve heard it correlates to playtime and because of my busy schedule i can’t play for anymore than an hour or two at a time, so that combined with I haven’t tried co-op might be factors as to why). I won’t discount others experiences with those things, but this review is about my experience. While I am disappointed to see them, especially after how nice Legends ran (to my memory, I didn’t experience a single bug or graphical glitch when playing that one), I felt most were benign or didn’t even know it was a bug until someone told me. Now, onto the real place where the game shines: the story. This game has one of my favorite storylines. I won’t spoil anything in this reviw, but the three storylines given for the player to pursue are heartfelt and filled with a delightful cast of characters for you to meet, leading up to a climactic ending and fun postgame. I’m glad GameFreak really capitalized on how much people liked getting to know the Gym Leaders and other NPCs from Sw/Sh and fleshed them out more in Scarlet/Violet. Other things I enjoyed were the return of the Let’s Go mechanic, even if it could be tweaked a little to prevent your pokemon from return so easily when you get out of range; the open world that allowed for exploring, and if you knew where to look, made you able to get your dream team set, but level scaling would have been appreciated especially for story bits; and the return of raids, a mechanic which makes getting pokemon that would be otherwise hard to obtain slightly easier if you know where to look.

Pokemon are always fun! Good plotline in the play, and good graphics. Loved the ability to multi-play. Getting both games together has a little extra, but a little more special additions would have been nice.

I couldn't put it down until i beat it, and then there is more to do! This is the first game I've been able to fill a pokedex, but its still challenging. Fast delivery, good game.

I liked that it was open world and the two additional storylines added on with the usual "Elite Four/Champion" storyline were also a nice differentiation from the norm. The ending was great as well.

Open world Pokémon. This is a fun game with lost of events going on and it has the ability to play with up to three other players at the same time.

The game is fun to play and the open world map is fun to explore, but the game feels unfinished next to the other Pokemon games.

The glitchyness of the games aside, which can vary person to person, these are very fun, rewarding Pokémon games. And the dual pack helps make sure you get the version exclusive mons in each game

Yes, there are some very notable performance issues. Those can be fixed with software updates though. Overall, this is the most fun (and potentially best story) Pokemon has been in a LONG time. The amount of new Pokemon is great, the Open-World is a huge step in the right direction, and the music is the best its ever been in a Pokémon game. If you have been a fan of the series, i definitely recommend this game.

People conplaining about the performance issues theyve seen online ckeaely are basing their opinion on just what theyve seen without actually playing it. Those issues don’t impede on the fun. As someone who has played every pokemon game and has been vocal about low quality games in recent years Scarlet and Violet is absolutely incredible and fun. Worth it day1. Dont let clickbait YouTubers who have never even played it make you miss out!

Outside of the glaring performance issues. This is still a good Pokemon game. Has one of the better storylines I can recall from the prior ones I've played.

My son is enjoying the new entries into the Pokémon series. People complained about some technical glitches but the game works fine and my son seems very happy with the games

To be straightforward, the graphics of this game is not groundbreaking (for obvious reasons), but this is still a fun entry on the series. It sort of feels like the previous game Legends Arceus mashed up with Pokemon Sword and Shield, though with mixed results. Still, I am having fun with this one and some new additions to the gameplay formula make this one worth at least visiting.

Get passed the graphical issues and youll find a fantastic story line with 50+ hours of gameplay

The problems you read about are true. Are you willing to put up with them to play a fun game is something that will vary depending on who you are.

This game is so fun but I just wish the framerate was beter, not the games fault, just the switch lacks the power doe this game

It has its technical flaws but honestly the game itself is so fun and mich more expansive in free choice and movement than any other game so far
