    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.

    i’ve played pokémon literally my entire life. i absolutely love it. i’ve had every single game, watched every single movie, and had MANY cards over the years. i definitely like the classics more. the new pokémon games seem to be reaching a little too extra in terms of tetralyzing and raid battles. this game IS fun. there’s a lot to do and so many new pokémon. however, i still miss the old games. this is a good pass-time and even after finishing the games there are many things you can do. it really is endless.

    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

    Game play is similar to Zelda but it’s Pokémon! Definitely more story play than the other Pokémon games on switch.

    Probably the best 3D Pokémon game in recent memory. Definitely outperforms Sword and Shield. While I'm still a bit disappointed that the Pokédex here is gimped, the variety of the ones that made it in and the charm of the new fellers more than makes up for it. Love the open world design of the game and the non-linear progression. It's a nice way to shake up the usual formula. Have been on-off addicted to the game since I got it, and I've recommended it to anyone who's interested in the franchise.

    Pokemon isnthe largest waste of a goldmine to ever exist. Nintendo squandered the greatest potential to ever exist all in the name of greed. Greed which has cost them untold amounts of wealth. Pokemon mmo rpg on every platform with a monthly subscription of 5usd. Full world multi starter points insane battle systems. No gimic bs just good old pokemon.

    So I went into this purchase expecting a sloppy, underperforming, buggy mess. Now, while there's some truth to that, I actually really enjoy this game. There's a lot here and a ton of new mechanics at play. While yes there are some performance issues, it's not impossible to overlook, and appreciate the experience. There's a lot here to enjoy and it seems Gamefreak are heading in a good direction. Perhaps a few more months in the oven was needed with this though.

    Pokemon violet is a triumphant addition to the franchise, blending nostalgia with refreshing innovations. Its immersive open-world design, diverse Pokemon roster, and captivating narrative offer an enthralling experience. With polished gameplay mechanics and stunning visuals, Scarlet seamlessly bridges the gap between classic charm and modern gaming allure
