    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    I’ve been playing Pokémon since I could remember and it’s nice to see how advanced the game has gotten through the years. Although this game specifically kinda felt a little rushed and could use some cosmetic work. Don’t get me wrong, the whole gameplay and story was *chef’s kiss*, but there are some glitches and such that could be fixed. When playing through, some of the transitions would take longer than others and it would often times leave me thinking my game crashed. There are also some bugs with some of the characters like Ms. Raifort’s hair doing a little bit too much on its own. The game also seemed a little bit more easier to play through than before. I found myself blowing through the Elite Four whereas in other games it would take more of a fight and a few black outs to the PokéCenter before finally beating them, especially with the “champion”. Overall though, the game is so good. I love the side quests and the picnics are a great alternative being that I get to breed my Pokémon and interact with them more. The scenic views are great and it also had a great plot twists in the story. I’ve finished the main story, but I have yet to go through all the gym leaders again, finish up some classes, and complete my Pokédex, but still a great game.

    Amazing Despite Its Flaws

    Technically this purchase was a Christmas gift as I already own it digitally. I wish I could give this a 4.5 as it’s better than a 4 yet not quite a 5 star game. This despite all of its flaws is the most fun Pokémon game I’ve played in years. This start is a bit slow but 1-2 hrs in the game becomes so good you overlook the frame rate, glitches, etc. Simplg put it’s fun.
