    I grew up playing Pokemon and bought this game because of the anticipated revolutionary way/s of playing. I love all of the ideas like the surprise trading, playing with friends, taking on tera raids between Scarlet and Violet raids etc. i still cant get over the amount of pop i see throughout the game though which is the ONLY reason i took away one star. I’ve read you should restart the game whenever this happens too often, but that hasnt really worked out well for me personally. Still a great “blast from the past” title to play if you grew up playing Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow and Gold like i did. (Did i just show my age? Sheesh)

    Great game. Runner up to the original of Pokémon arceus. Open world is cool but the overall game is a bit adolescent and struggled to hold my attention.

    Really fun game! There are just some tech things holding it back. There are spots where frames stutter but overall the gameplay is Pokemon.

    Open world, decent amount of pokemon and the story is pretty good. Graphics could be better but its still a fun game. Its also a little buggy but it you can get past that its worth a go

    Yes, its got some glitches, but if you really enjoy pokemon games, pick this or Scarlet up! Nothing anyone is talking about is game breaking, but some of the hacks make speedrunning interesting.

    Lovely open world concept that I could get lost in for hours. It's nice to see all of the old pokemon that they have added to the game on top of all of the new ones that are making their debuts.

    The open world is great and the idea is only getting bigger. The things Pokemon creators are doing is nothing shy of incredible.
