Customer Ratings & Reviews

The new games have the oddest rate of growth in every single generation. On one hand the quality of life improvements help with training and leveling, but on the other, playing a game in late 2022 with no voice acting is jarring and unnatural in games today. Free roaming adventure, faster battles, and new Pokémon always are fun, but the challenge isn’t great, even to the point where older games proved harder to beat the AI. Story is surprisingly good. Online is still bad. Like i said, Pokémon have a lot of work to do to be better, let’s hope the future games take the good inspiration from this generation.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Gold and Silver, and this one is amazing. I've heard if you don't have a switch 2 it's a bit buggy, but on the switch 2 it runs perfectly.

I couldn't choose which to go with so we bought both. They are pretty much the same. Keeps you busy and its great if you like doing online raids. I haven't been able to get it connected to pokemon go for some reason but I'll keep trying. Other than that its great! You can play with friends but no chat feature but I'm sure there is a way around that I just haven't figured it out yet. I did have to get nintendo online subscription in order to play with my friends but it was only thirty something dollars for the year so not bad at all. Beware time flies so fast while playing.. hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Great game, lots of fun. Open world, explore and play how you want to. 400+ pokemon to catch in game and 3 main quest lines. Played for over 30hrs and have barely scratched the surface!

My grandson loves the game!!! He wanted the game for his birthday and we were thrilled that our local Best Buy had it available.

This is a good game very entertaining with lots of stuff to do. I beat the game in less than a week and have not put it down it’s great!

Lovely addition to the Pokémon franchise. Great story, ability to choose what path you want to complete. Great game!!!

Game is great. Some bugs but doesnt take away from overall experience. Great addition to the pokemon franchise.

Fun game, easy to play for a 8-9yr old. Would recommend to anyone who has a child that loves pokemon

Great game good graphics and open world, pokemon level up is great.

Pokemon Scarlet has been a good experience for me. Even if has some technical issues, the game is fun and the new Pokemon species too

As someone who has grown with the franchise I think I’m able to render a fair verdict on Pokémon games. This game has some stunning visuals and the open world experience does make it a little more immersive. However, the battle mechanics common to that of Pokémon Legends Arceus (being able to simply catch Pokémon without battling, quick access bag, and having other wild pokemon engage in battle, etc.) has me left with this empty feeling. While the game progressed in some aspects regarding quality of life, it clearly regressed in others, which has proven to be rather disappointing.

This game had me skeptical at first, however once i started playing i couldnt put it down. Highly recommend it to anyone

Good game. Love the multiple story arcs that can be done as you please. Do wish that it didn't run so poorly on Nintendo's hardware.

Good game but could’ve been more. But still Pokémon through and through

This is my second time buying this game, I recently bought the Nintendo switch 2 and I am very pleasantly surprised with the upgrades the game made to look and feel smoother in the new switch

This pokemon game has been one of the best in the entire franchise with its outstanding story writing and competitive availability for people who want to get into that. There have been minor performance issues but I put that blame on the hardware much more than the game software. A brand new open world pokemon game that you will put many hours into for lots of adventure and fun.

I really enjoyed playing this game. There are some technical issues, but they did not impact gameplay for me. I didn’t experience any crashes or game-breaking bugs.

It’s been a while since I’ve played a Pokemon game and Violet did not disappoint me. The open world is refreshing and I personally enjoy most of the new Pokemon. The late game keeps you hooked for a good amount of time. This game does have its fair of issues that I mostly overlooked. It can get frustrating waiting for the raid matchmaking to finally stabilize and work in your favor. Overall, I would give this game a 8/10.

Fun game, but better with friends. Its a pokemon game and when paired with the Pokemon Home free app in the Nintendo Store you can move your Pokemon from previous titles such as brilliant diamond and shining pearl. As well as Pokemon go
