    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The games are so fun the post game is so fun that I am surprised that the game does not run slower. I get people who say the games are buggy but have you gotten to the post game. If you haven't then play more the first 2 hours are slow I get it but play more. The other pokemon games we are relating these game to are not open world it is almost impossible to compare to pokemon games like bdsp or pokemon red or even legends arceus because they are not open world they play so different so play moreof the games to really get into it or even play with the multiplayer these games are not like cyberpunk.… Expand

    What is wrong with these reviews? I had zero bugs, the overworld is nice, we have three storylines, and it's the first good story in my opinion. I really don't know why this game gets such negative reviews. I love it.

    Damn the angry crowd is review bombing this game with their emotion and not actually giving some useful and fair review, which definitely not deserved.

Yeah, sure its got lot of bugs, and I mean A LOT of bugs, but its not like Cyberpunk 2077 first day where there a lot of game breaking bugs. People tend to ignore the game's core that are beside graphics which is the gameplay, the story, the innovation and the music when they are enraged, which will gave an incorrect review. So, to player who plans to read the review before buying the games, make sure the review is actually have some points in it and not something that just write by people who just try to review bomb it, positive and negative review. Alright, time to get to the main points.

    With the 4 points I mention above, let's start with 1) The Gameplay:
    The gameplay adapts some mechanics from Pokémon Legends: Arceus like backstabbing (yes, using your Pokémon's pokeball) and giving you a first strike advantage. Your riding Pokémon which depends on which version you purchased (in this case Koraidon) also got new overworld ability like Sprinting, Swimming and etc. which is also adapts from PL:A. This game is also the first Pokémon game to feature full-open world, with loading time only occurred on cutscenes loading and entering and leaving buildings. The level scaling, I can't defend this one, they have Nemona level scaling with your current gym badge and your champion status, but they can't level scale the gym and other wild Pokémon, but I still got a good laugh when my level 10 Quaxly suddenly battling a level 35 trainer, and you know what happen next, blacked out, lost some of my Pokédollars and back to Pokécenter. Speak of Pokécenter, this new Pokécenter absolutely fit the open world style gameplay. Need to heal, found a Pokécenter, heal up, go back to adventure, repeat. Simple and quick, no loading time except maybe the healing animation, which is also quicker than past games. And now, the new mechanic: Terastellize. By default, every wild Pokémon's Tera type is by their original's type, if it have two original type, its one of those as Tera type. There one exception for wild pokémon, there some Pokémon sparkling in the wild, and when you battling them, they will immediately Terastellize, which the Tera type is often not the same with their original type. You can also change your Pokémon's Tera type by defeating the Medali City Gym first, so you can talk to the cook and change your Pokémon's Tera type with 50 Tera Shards, which can found in the wild and as a Raid Rewards. Speaking of raid, it is time to talk about the Tera Raid. Some of the things in Tera Raid is adapts from SW/SH's Dynamax Raid, like the four players to raid and the Tera Shield. Now lets talk about new things in Tera Raid, you have 3 different Cheers skill and can only use 3 times combined in a Tera Raid, "Go All Out!" raise you and other player's ATK and SP ATK, "Hang Touch" raise you and other player's DEF and SP DEF and "Heal Up" heal you and other player's Pokémon;s HP and status condition. So carefully plan your cheers skill to help you and your team to win the Raid. Tera Raid use time now and not the Dynamax Raid's 4 fainting counts. And trust me, you will have enough time to win the raid even if there Pokémon get fainted a lot, not saying 7 stars Tera Raids though, you need a good team for that. Speaking of overworld multiplayer, I cant say anything about it because I don't have friends (Cry in the background), so lets move to the next points.

    2)The Story
    I'm going to be honest, this might be the best story alongside B/W's Story. I can't said anything here since its will be count as spoiler, but trust me, the story is very freaking good. My recommend steps to play the 3 paths is: Path to Legends => Victory Roads > Starfall Street.

    3)The Innovation:
    The "Let's Go" feature. Its a very good feature when you just want to exp grinds, since its save a lot of time to battle and wait for all the animation to finish, and its also wont beat the Shiny Pokémon so don't worry accidently kill a Shiny Pokémon with this feature. Now on to the things that is not new gaming innovation, but more of a Pokémon franchise's innovation, the full-open world which I mention above, so I won't talk about it again. The Riding Pokémon that is more improved version from PL:A, just one Pokémon and you can explore the entire maps (of course you need unlock the ability first which is in Path of Legend).

    4)The Music:
    Good ol Game Freak, still making banging music, and now with the help of Toby Fox, the creator of the popular indie games: Undertale and Deltarune. You will enjoy the music in this game.

    Conclusion, the games will be, if not, the best Pokémon games if it without the bug that everybody angry for. So I recommend to play this games despite everybody being angry about the bugs, because underneath the bugs, its a gems. (I'm reaching text limit so no picnic part)    … Expand

Um fato que me incomoda é que até hoje o jogo não tem falas, não tem reações naturais e não é localizado para outras línguas. Vão acabar perdendo os fãs de Pokémon, o que pode ser bom, pois ai troca de desenvolvedora, podendo ir para uma que realmente sabe fazer jogos de verdade.

    The Pokémon franchise had everything to be the best game franchise of all time, but unfortunately the developer accommodated in the success that the game already has and launch them completely poorly. The game seems fragile, that at any moment it will crash, poorly polished, dirty textures, objects that keep blinking on the screen, lighting that appears and disappears, the game floor when looking closely is cut and everything below appears etc. . It's a shame, because this game evolving the way it deserved, even with these graphics, but well done, well optimized and updated, would certainly be the game of the year in all years. One fact that bothers me is that even today the game has no lines, no natural reactions and is not localized into other languages. They'll end up losing Pokémon fans, which could be a good thing, as they change developers and go to one that really knows how to make real games.    … Expand

    About the art direction, it seems like with this game they tried to do something better, but again, they ended up failing, creating a game that looks just incoherent.

    This game makes Pokemon Legends Arceus a good game, when it was a technical disaster, and overall a bad experience for the player.

    With so much being removed or changed unnecessarily, and the game running like absolute trash, if nothing is fixed within a reasonable time or no statements are made you should absolutely just refund this POS. I can see the game they wanted to make but this just isn't it and another mis step for a company that apparently hates its own creation more with each new iteration.

    It's like Nintendo sent down the directive to Gamefreak to make the next Pokemon game open world, but none of them had any clue what that actually meant. The game is a hot mess and a prime example that not everything HAS to be open world.

    There is no direction in the open world, you are free to roam around anywhere. BUT. If you look at the levels of the trainers/gym leaders/titans, there is a very clear path they really wanted to take. Why then not just make a more traditional guided play though? Why have an open world at all? And why for all that is holy do they not have any indication that you are not where you're supposed to be until you get your teeth kicked in by enemies way higher in level than you?

    Those are all cornerstone open world design elements that have been utterly bungled.

    The performance of the switch is notoriously terrible, but this monstrosity takes the cake. Constant non-stop hitching, stuttering, and wildly variable frame rates plague every corner of this honestly quite ugly open world. It's so bad that it constantly takes you out of the game.

    There are a few good things added this generation, but all the terrible failures make me no longer care.

    What a disappointing experience.    … Expand

    Sadly, no. Removing Switch mode completely takes out the element of preparing for type advantages mid-battle because you will always take a direct and lethal hit from the advantage against your set Pokemon. I know the games were developed simultaneously, but I do wish that some PLA elements were carried over. I don't want PLA 2, but after playing it, I realized just how good some of the ideas presented would be for the series as a whole, for both presentation and gameplay. (EX: There is a glowing beam of light telling you where to go as a Pokemon sits idle, with you needing to run into it for a cutscene to play. (Compare this to PLA just displaying a small signal on your map, with the cutscene beginning automatically once you enter the area.) The animation for things like battles, Pokemon in the wild roaming around, and the "Let's Go" action all felt off. It was a fun idea to sneak up on wild Pokemon and doge attacks that could cause them to fight you, forcing you to flee if you didn't want to fight those Pokemon. EV and IV training being streamlined were all great additions. I don't want game-overs, a genre change, or crafting systems; I want a shakeup of the formula and better presentation. Scarlet and Violet show glimpses of a good game before delivering more of Pokemon Sword and Shield with worse performance and glitches.

    I love this franchise, and I sincerely hope that these reviews reach the Pokemon Company's ears and that what they take away from them is "Give the developers time and hire help." rather than "Never try anything new again."     … Expand

    This game doesn't even work. I expected more from the most profitable franchise ever. If you are planning to buy, use that 60 dollars for Elden Ring or God Of War: Ragnarok. And if you really have a hankering to play a Pokemon game, play any of the pre 2020 titles. You will surely get more technical brilliance playing those.

    Although a step forward in certain aspects, they are also some steps back in many other ways.
    - The Pokemon designs not only are the most forgettable in the franchise, but they feel out of place, incoherent, even BAD.

    - The Pokemon designs not only are the most forgettable in the franchise, but they feel out of place, incoherent, even BAD.
    - Not that Gigantamax was great, but Terracrystalization simply isn't well implemented, like other new mechanics. Once you use it, you have to go back to a Pokemon center and recharge it, so you'll end up using it around 10 times in the whole game.
    - About the story and structure, one cannot help but compare it to Fire Emblem Three Houses with its multiple paths, the academy, etc., but it looks GameFreak just forgot about a good cast, memorable situations and any sort of good story. And let's obviate the tehcnical optimisation.

    However, the new region finds some charm here and there, inspired by the Spanish and Portuguese cultures (as Sword and Shield so well did), mainly in the interior designs and the exterior of houses. The bigger size of the region, helps the game feel more immersive at times, although at the same time, the lack of coherence and engage makes it also feel more inert than ever. It feels rather empty.

    Overall, they are fine game. If you're expecting a Pokemon game, these are Pokemon games. But their inspiration and polish leave a lot to desire. It tries more than Sword and Shield. Fails much more than Sword and Shield. Better than Legends Arceus? Sure. Some additions are welcome, but the thing is that for each one of them there are 5 mistakes or downgrades.
    With great potential, Scarlet and Violet fall near the bottom of the franchise, but still make for a decent game.    … Expand

    Bruh, people are sleeping on this game. It's amazing, especially the official soundtrack. The gameplay's also really good. The only iffy part is the Pokédex, which is still really decent. Don't judge a book by its cover, even if it's got a laggy cover.

I had the game crash a handful of times, laughted maniacally at people appearing inside of doorframes, fallen through the floor, and even seen it dissapear. But oh my lord beneath all of these seemingly awful issues is this wonderful game that I'm sure the devs weren't given enough time to flesh out and polish. For starters it's actually challenging, the game is functionally a boss rush with trainer fights all being optional aside from a few. The gyms, gang leaders, and titan fights are all excellent. The Pokémon designs are an overwhelming success to boot. So many quality of life features have been added. Overall a wonderful gameplay experience.

    Honestly if you can get past the absolute rushed mess of a shell, the inside is a sweet treat that I highly recommend. Maybe wait for a few performance patches though.    … Expand

    It's open world is well built in a way, it's interesting and really dig the Mechanic's they've implemented.
    Making it easier to get rare spawns by doing x.
    they've made it so you can skirt around and do as ya please. It's an astounding and a bit jarring how they've changed it.
    The pokémon company really tried this time around to innovate and they've nailed it, this is my favorite pokémon so far.
    I have to applaud them, it really feels fleshed out in some ways that I never expected. The traversal and going around is well thought out,
    Removing the barrier so you can fly from the get-go was a good call. Giving you a "bike" at the start of the game helps. I have been playing it since midnight and I'm still just running around and catching Pokemon. Not even concerned about gym badges gating me off from exploring. Now I get the switch isn't the strongest and I'm usually 100% down for putting a switch port as pointless and it's going to end badly.
    This enforced that feeling for me, the switch is just too weak for it, if it could be fleshed out, this games ambitious target would literally change everything.
    I haven't liked pokémon since Ruby and Sapphire. I appreciate they split it up into three different paths and you can go back and forth between each of them anytime you want. I appreciate their hands off approach, I appreciate the multiplayer actually being good for once. Like you can outright join a friend's version of the game and catch their exclusive pokémons for their versions in them. HOW cool is that?! If they can iron out some of the glitches like shadows, texture popping and some traversal glitches. I don't think I would stop playing this game anytime soon, this is a game that I'm probably going to pour hundreds of hours into. It made me care enough to actually make a account for this useless/horrible website. I have to give it a 7, I want to give it a 9.

    FPS, my God Game Freak, it’s too hard to develop a game that can have at least 30FPS Stable? Come on you can do it better!

    Other thing that I think that they can improve is the NPC, they just have one line of dialogue, are the same NPC another another and another, in the same area you can seen the same guy or girl like a copy paste. It’s no too hard to put more variety. Games like assassins creed or Red dead redemption have a lots of NPC.

    Performance issues aside, the game at its core is a typical but more inspired mainline Pokemon game. However, the performance issues are so egregious that it's impossible to ignore how the game grinds to a messy halt so often it takes you and everyone around you out of any immersion possible.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Digamos que el juego es divertido pero es un horrendo martirio ver como a cada segundo todo se estropea. No deberíamos estar satisfechos con un producto con tan pésimo rendimiento que la base es buena pero es buena porque es Pokemon pero imperdonable el rendimiento, una lastima. Esperare a una posible actualización… Expand

    Il gioco in se non vale quanto costa, ha mille difetti e l'unico aspetto divertente è giocare online con gli amici, ma anche questo ogni tanto non funziona.

    The game itself is not worth the money, it has a thousand flaws and the only fun aspect is playing online with friends, but even that sometimes doesn't work.

    Not the best game ever, but good step for the franchise. I can't wait to see how this evolves into something else; bigger, funnier and done for adults, because it feels like they treat us all like kids 20 years later.

    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.
