    Great game, just a little laggy. They need to fix bugs.

    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

    The game is what you'd expect for pokemon. The newer way of quickly battling wild pokemon is great, as well as the open world play how you want option. the only downsides are some of the bugs/glitches & in my playthrough a few crashes lower the score.

    Pokemon is a game that keeps you engaged in getting new pokemon and building them up through training and battles. You will have lots of ours of play finding and building up your favorite pokemon.

    I have experienced multiple performance issues with Pokemon Violet. It seems to perform better when using the Switch in handheld mode than when the Switch is docked. Technical issues aside, the core game is entertaining and adds many new elements the the Pokemon formula that revitalized the franchise for me.

    I personally struggled through finishing Arceus so I didnt have many expectations buying this game. But for some reason its much more enjoyable to me than Arceus. I love the world and the new things they’ve implemented into the game. If youre a pokemon fan, give it a try. I did and i wasnt disappointed.

    Game is alot smoother since release but it still has some performance issues relating to pokemon spawning in on top of you when youre going super fast as frick boiii. - Shinys dont give audio alert or sparkle in map like arceus. + can play with friends in co-op.

    This game implements a lot of ideas that Pokémon fans have wanted for a while, but they really didn’t give the devs enough time to make sure it was in a good enough state to ship out. Regardless it’s an awesome time but if they pull this for the next game I’ll have to vote with my wallet and skip

    Very cool. I love how challenging this one is. And for once I was pleasantly surprised by the grass-type starter. Crazy that you start the game with "the" pokemon, aka the cover pokemon, but it does spice things up a bit. Good story, controls are pretty traditional.

    I really never write reviews but honestly it was a bit disappointing. Dont get me wrong, I still like the game but I feel like Shield is way better. I dont like the lag either. Id say still give it a shot, you never know!

    This game is good and a fun open world Pokémon game. But coming from Arceus, I wish the catching mechanics were the same. You have a lot of different options and aren’t held down by following one path if that makes sense. I would still recommend this to anyone to grab.

    Enjoyed the new concept of open world for the series. The graphic bugs were persistent but never effected game play for me (I never played for long periods of time which from what I understood is what effected players the most). Only thing stopping me from giving it 5 stars
