    I can personally excuse bad graphics as long as the gameplay is fun, but in this case the gameplay is not fun because it is ruined by all the performance issues, which makes everything feels laggy and slow.
    And on a more objective note, these graphics are totally unacceptable in 2022 for a game under the Pokémon IP.
    If no patch is announced in the next week or two, I will 100% get a refund on the games, and will never buy a new Pokémon game ever again until something is done to finally have the game Pokémon fans deserve.    … Expand

    Holy **** are all these "Critics" paid by nintendo? Have any of them actually played the game? Extremely disappointing game, especially when you know how good a nintendo game (like breath of the wild) can look and feel. Graphics wise, not anything different from Legends Arceus.

    Another Gamefreak's presentation that just gives the middle finger to their entire community, proving once again they can't code, optimize, or show any kind of care or attention to their own games. As of November's 21st, 2022, the game is unplayable.

    I was really hyped for the game before it released. I played it on day 1 with the day 1 Patch...
    I was disappointed of the lacking customization options. Game Freak really took many steps back there. Using the same character model for female and male and can't even implement more clothing options. Uniforms? What the hell.... are you going to school in uniform? And don't tell me "But it's a japanese game and they all wear uniforms at school". Then why is everyone wearing uniforms outside of school in Scarlet and Violet??
    I played it for 2 days now and today would be the 3rd day. I don't even want to play it anymore.
    It feels like work. And a game should not feel like being work. It should be fun.

    The only thing I really enjoyed was making sandwitches with my wife. Sad for a Pokemon game, right?
    And I'm a hardcore Pokemon fan and got a copy of like almost every main series game.

    People say Sword and Shield was bad? Oh boy.... Sword and Shield are amazing in comparison to Scarled and Violet.
    BDSP? I would prefer that game over Scarlet and Violet! Game Freak should stop making Pokemon Games once and for all. They do not know how to develop games and are not willing to improve at all.

    I bought physical copies of Scarlet and Violet. They are unplayable. Once the Nintendo eShop removes Nintendo Switch support I got 2 physical games that are unplayable and no way of patching them.

    It is absolutely NO excuse to say the Nintendo Switch Hardware is limited. It is just POOR PROGRAMMING what makes these games so bad on the hardware. You can NOT blame the hardware on this! Compared to other games this is a mess.
    Upgrading to better hardware is not the solution. It's just cash grab.    … Expand

    El juego está plagado de bugs de todo tipo, desde visuales hasta técnicos, todos apareciendo con muchísima frecuencia. Además la tasa de fotogramas por segundo es bajísima, a menudo bajando de los 15fps, y con muchos objetos y personajes de fondo moviéndose a tasas inferiores de los 5fps, incluso a veces aún estando justo al lado. A todo esto se le han de añadir múltiples errores y fallos de todo tipo; desde errores repentinos que cerrarán el juego (haciéndote perder el progreso no guardado), errores de iluminación donde prácticmente toda la pantalla aparecerá de color blanco, cegándote por completo, pasando por el que se pueda duplicar la velocidad de movimiento al conectar un segundo mando, hasta múltiples 'clipeos' por todos lados, problemas repentinos en los modelos y animación de los personajes... Y un largo etcétera que no voy a continuar, ya que solo hace falta iniciar el juego y jugar durante un rato para descubrir un puñado de errores más.


    Game Freak (o The Pokémon Company, quien esté al cargo de dar las órdenes) debe invertir mucho más en sus juegos, tanto dinero como tiempo, no es posible que una compañía con tanto patrimonio saque sus juegos en un estado tan deplorable, digno de un videojuego en sus primeras etapas de desarrollo.


    Como fan de Pokémon, y como ciudadano, espero que las asociaciones de consumidores y normativas europeas tomen cartas en el asunto y logren sancionar a The Pokémon Company por la pésima calidad técnica del título. En este estado es una estafa sin precedentes para todo comprador y una vergüenza para toda la industria y para el legado de la franquicia.    … Expand

How can you go from arceus to this. Let's begin, First and foremost the sever frame stuttering and frame drops persist through the entirety of the game. It never goes away it never gets better. The game can choke up loading assets and actually crash. Both me and my friend i have been playing alongside have had this exact issue happen. Where he had it happen 3 times in a row in the same area to the point he cant even enter the area so he just flat out avoids that whole section of the game. Menus are incredibly slow to the point it can feel as if it froze sometimes. The MASSIVE amount of visual bugs and technical bugs like falling through the floor or Pokemon walking through trees and npc's walking through battles inside the city areas. Lets talk about game design next. The game feels absolutely barren. How could you take a step backwards after arceus textures got worse than sword and shield for crying out loud. There are parts of the game that genuinely look like N64 level graphics on top of every area just feeling so bland and generic. Everything visual in the game feels like it was rushed out the door so they could work on the next thing to make them money. And its a shame because this game has plenty of good things going for it. Like the story is actually decent, the open world battling and seeing which pokemon are around to battle is cool. The new raids are cool with improvements since sword and shield.

    Overall i cant give this game even a 1 for score. Its so technically bad and choppy that it feels like it was an unfinished mess coming out from the studio. Lets just say Cyberpunk 2.0. Except we all know gamefreaks wont touch or patch the game whatsoever.    … Expand

    The performance issues are unreal. No game should have them this badly. Mechanically the game has been made worse (roughly 15-20 seconds to switch Pokemon in battle).

    The open world needs to scaled with you rather than set in stone. Breeding is worse. The few good points really don't make up for it's shortcomings. Which are many.

    Vou comprar o jogo, mas é uma vergonha para uma empresa desse porte e com o tamanho do público que ela tem no Brasil, não se dar ao trabalho de colocar uma tradução para PT-BR no jogo e olha que esse jogo nem demanda dublagem, é só tradução de texto, repito, é uma vergonha e um descaso com o consumidor BR.

    The game is practically unplayable with so many bugs and glitches. While running across the field with my Miraidon, I jumped over a rock and fell off the map. NPCs can pass through Pokémon in battle and lead to some pretty grotesque scenes. I do not recommend buying this game at all until the company has fixed the entire game.

    Unacceptable for video game standards in 2022, let alone from the highest grossing media franchise ever. Which is a shame because there is a bit of potential here, buried upon layers of laziness. If you want the series to improve please don't purchase this.

    One of the worst Pokémon games ever, if not the worst! Every Pokémon game is fun, because of the purpose of it: creating and training your own monster. However, it's disrespectful how Pokémon Company developed something so poor performing and non optimized.

    The usual, rushed Pokemon experience, the game is riddled with bugs thanks to insanely rushed release time and the lack of direction is clear. Game will crash if you leave it open for enough hours. You'll have a more fun experience playing FNaF Security Breach, which is somehow superior in every way. The mon designs are still cute.

Also buy some ibuprofen, because the visual glitches are sure to give you a migraine!!

    Not a bad game. It still has its solid core, new Pokémon, and what's worked for years continues to work. The open world is a questionable addition in my opinion. [Issue#324]

    Pokemon Scarlet and Violet take the long-awaited step into a fully open-world, but one poorly implemented and marred by frustration. A compelling story and characters are a saving grace in what is ultimately a fun game, but Pokemon's attempts at modernising continue to fall disappointingly short.

    A square wheel spins more smoothly and fluidly than this game. If three Pokémon or characters come into view at once, the whole game creaks and falters. Edge-off unplayable. And that's a shame. Because the addition of an open world is "on paper" a puffy idea to refresh the franchise. No more linear walking that takes you past gyms and ever stronger and different Pokémon, gotta catch 'em all. You can go wherever you want. With some tactics, you can take on some very tough challenges with Pokémon that aren't nearly strong enough. Fun! Except this game just wasn't ready. It's shameless that Nintendo and Game Freak are still throwing it on the market. Nevertheless: 10 million games sold in just three days.
