Whenever you see buildings, it’s a 50/50 if Gamefreak spent the actual time to develop an interior or not. This is the same copy and paste game and I’ll be honest, games like Let’s Go Eevee had more heart and soul. Not even to mention the potential corrupted save file that has been happening to some players where your saves are gone. Save your money and buy better games like Bayonetta 3 or Xenoblade Chronicles 3. I’d rather just emulate this on my PC… Expand

    The game is a lot of fun to play, yes, but the technical side is such an aberration that I hope someone at The Pokémon Company has the dignity to think about professionalism and respect for their fans rather than just money (and by the way, that Nintendo gives them a slap on the wrist, because in the end, for the general public, it's their reputation that is tarnished).

    Do not play this game if you get headaches easily, the FPS is all over the places. NPC slow down to 4-5 fps when you look at them. The lightning is flashing white everywhere and the game is so unsharp that you get dizzy from it. The game is unplayable in this state. Unacceptable release.

    From the very start, this game is riddled with bugs, awful textures and animations, and absolutely embarrassing landscapes. I've seen student made games with more polish, so I expect far more from the most profitable franchise in the world. The fact that this was released 6 years after Breath of the Wild on the same hardware is so astounding that it's almost funny.

    It's almost amazing, which makes it terrible. Let me elaborate:

    The Good: - Open world is a nice idea, and it was really fun to explore and have the freedom to choose the order of gyms and paths. I ended up doing it slightly out of order and the challenge was very rewarding. - The characters (other kids) had pretty compelling arcs for the most part, and I actually liked them more than    It's almost amazing, which makes it terrible. Let me elaborate:

    The Good:
    - Open world is a nice idea, and it was really fun to explore and have the freedom to choose the order of gyms and paths. I ended up doing it slightly out of order and the challenge was very rewarding.
    - The characters (other kids) had pretty compelling arcs for the most part, and I actually liked them more than other recent rivals / characters. The final part of the story wraps up all the 3 individual paths nicely and it felt like you were living out a pokemon movie.
    - The pokemon models are to scale and more detailed, and I loved seeing them in the open world just vibing.

    Now, the Bad (there's a lot):
    - The textures, visuals are... atrocious. Not just for a game coming out in 2022, but for a game that exists after the year 2010. I don't know if they aren't loading or if that's geniunely what it looks like but it's distractingly bad. I'm not a stickler for fancy nice pretty graphics- plenty of my favorite games have serviceable looks. But many of the features you see in the world unironically look like the in games like GTA 5 where the map glitches out and buildings only render as muddy polygons- but in S/V, these are just the actual geometries and textures even up close. I would get it if this were an Alpha state of an Indie game on Steam, but this is pokemon.
    - The performance is similarly awful. Maybe this will be patched, but for a fully released game this is not acceptable. We seem games like BOTW, which came out on the switch in 2017, not only looking much better but running much smoother than this game. It's clear that this just isn't optimized. Hell, even the BOTW on the WiiU runs better than this. This is just framerate, too. A lot of the character animations when you're not standing right next to them run at literally 5fps. Microsoft powerpoint speeds.
    - Certain mechanics from Arceus didn't return, namely the catching one. I understand different teams from GameFreak worked on this but really missed that mechanic in this game, and would have probably enjoyed and gone out of my way to catch pokemon in this game.
    - The open world feels empty and incomplete. For every somewhat memorable design in the world, there's something that breaks immersion. A lot of the 'routes' or paths feel interchangeable in this game aside from maybe the first couple, and aside from trainer battles, there isn't really any standout locations in the world. Contrast this with past games where areas not only had their own character in design but also the locations/dungeons you associated with them- Lavender Town's Pokemon Tower, the Pokemon Mansion on Cinnibar Island, Sprout City's Sprout tower, the Abandoned Ship, the Old Chateau- just to name a few. It doesn't help that most towns have literally 0 building interiors besides their Gym. One of my favorite immersive parts of past games was getting region lore by talking to everyone in the town and seeing their homes.
    - This is more subjective, but the school stuff didn't really do it for me. I skipped most classes because the few I did were really boring- but also because even more so than the other games the dialogue (even when text speed is fast) takes an eternity. Nearly every transition shot between dialogue fades out and it just pads out a ton of time. Also, it kinda cheapened the champion route for me, as SPOILER you don't become Champion, you become 'Champion Rank', which is a small but meaningful difference. You don't go on the journey to become the very best, you're just... very good? Get an A+ ? Which leads me to my next critique:
    - The Elite Four / Champion. I actually liked the champion's design and the rooftop battle, but the events preceding and following it are less than ideal. Starting with the Elite Four: The Designs are really lame, and the personalities are similarly shallow. In the past, you can tell what kind of pokemon an E4 member might be using as its incorporated into their design and room design. But, gone are both the distinct bold designs and the rooms. Yes, all E4 members are fought in a clean boring sterile padded cell. This detracts even more from them feeling like this amazing final feat. More so, one of the Elite Four members is literally just a Gym Leader who is just being forced to also be an E4 member, and straight says something along the lines of 'Yeah I like my Gym type but I **** hate my E4 type but I gotta ig.' And then, after defeating the champion, no longer do you go into the a seperate room where you save your team and commemorate your accomplishment, its just a pat on the back. I mean... yeah it really is a downer.

    IN CONCLUSION:
    For everything nice S/V does with its open world and story ideas, it's undermined by its buggy technical performance, overall **** visuals, shallow settings, and extremely unrealized and boring school setting. Extremely disappointing.    … Expand

    You guys had one chance after you delivered a rushed-as-hell, mediocre Sword/Shield. You then actually delivered your first good pokégame on Switch in Legends: Arceus. But then you announced ANOTHER game for the SAME year - and of course you blew it again! This game SCREAMS "should be released late 2023"!! A rushed, unfinished, buggy, slow mess with a thousand cut corners. There's a good, perhaps great game underneath, but it is by FAR the worst performing pokémon game ever released, it is rushed as hell, returns to many mistakes Legends: Arceus already repaired, has tons of cut corners just like Sword/Shield (slow as hell battles again, RIDICULOUSLY empty cities...)

    It's just too much at this point, there honestly needs to be some kind of a revolution when it comes to these pokémon games.

    Taking even a cursory at glance at any other major Nintendo franchise, or even a majority of AAA franchises period, the shortcomings and limitations of Pokémon become impossible to ignore.

    Violet and Scarlet may move some aspects of the franchise forward, namely in the open-world environments and less linearity, but still suffer from a chronic lack of ambition, scope, and polish.

    Ever since the franchise's transition into 3D with XY in 2013, Gamefreak have been open about their desire to remove features, difficulty and complexity from the franchise, in an attempt to appeal to the "kids of today". Unfortunately, coupled with an increasingly brutal yearly release schedule, this has led most modern Pokémon games feeling barebones, empty, and at times, unfinished.

    TL:DR - The abysmal performance and presentation of these games alone would be enough for me to not recommend them, but the added context of how little Gamefreak are utilising the Switch, how much better far smaller franchises consistently are, and the rapid rate between releases, just make the situation so, so much worse.

    In 2022, Pokémon has far more in common with franchises like FIFA, Call Of Duty, and Assassins Creed, than other premium Nintendo franchises like Mario, Zelda, and Kirby.    … Expand

    Nintendo needs to give the Pokémon franchise to a developer that knows how to develop for the switch. Game freak can’t cut it. Maybe they need more time to make these games. But releasing these games at this state is basically the same as cyberpunk releasing the way it was. So many bugs. Should be $30 instead of $60 until they find a way to optimize the game properly.

    1. El juego esta lleno de bugs y glitches que arruinan la experiencia dentro del juego no puedo disfrutar del juego por los fallos que tienen y el que diga que no tiene fallos es un mentiroso.

    2. Tiene muchos bajones de fps hay ocasiones en las que te mueves a 10 fps incluso los npc tienen bajones de fps se mueven tan lento eso distrae y hasta da risa de ver eso por lo malo que es 3. Hay poca customatizacion para el personaje pasamos de tener mucha ropa y accesorios en entregas pasadas a solotener cuatro conjuntos de ropa y es ropa fea porque esos uniformes son horribles 4. Los diseños de muchos de los nuevos pokemon dejan mucho que desear solo miren las evoluciones finales de quaxly y de sprigatito son horribles y tampoco estoy diceindo que en entregas anteriores hubieran no hubieran diseños feos solo miren a geodude es una roca con brazos.

    5. No estan disponibles todos los pokemon se supone que eliminaron muchos pokemon para hacer mejores animaciones pero eso fue mentira las animaciones estan horribles y los pokemon no hacen contacto entre si al momento de combatir.

    6. Los diseños de los paisajes estan horribles que acaso los de gamefreak no salen del calabozo En el que estan encerrados porque esos paiasajes esatan horrobles y para nada emulan los de la vida real 7. Los diseños de los personajes estan horibles ya lo habian mencionado la cominidad japonesa que los nuevos personajes parecen salidos de la propaganda woke.

    8. La historia esta meh no hay mucho de decir sobre ello ni tansiquiera se puede viajar al pasado siendo esto una tematica dentro del juego 9. Hay muchos lugares a los cuales no se puede acceder como casas que no se pueden entrar es mas las tiendas no tienen modelados sus interiores cuando vas a una tiena solo te apeece el menu de comprar y ya cosa que en entregas anteriores las tiendas si tenian modelados los interiores 10. No hay torre de batala eso decepciona mucho.

    11. Cortaron contendio para venderlo como nuevo contenido en un dlc esta practica me asquea.

    12. Se supone que es un juego de mundo abierto pero de mundo abierto no tiene nada los rivales no escalan de niveles lo cual hace que llegas con niveles 10 de mas al momento de combatir a los rivales yo llegue con nivel 80 a la elite 4 esto deja en claro lo facil que es el juego.

    Es una verguenza que gamefreak sacara es juego a medias a la venta lleno de bugs y problemas claramente gamefreak no este a la altura y deberian de darle el juego a otra desarrolladora que si quiera dar lo mejor de si para crear un buen juego, lo mas triste de todo esto es que hay oersonas que defienden este juego como si fuera la cuspide de lo mejor de pokemon lo cual es una mentira lo mejor de pokemon fue en pokemon platino, HG/SS, BW/BW2 esa fue la mejor era de pokemon lo que hay hoy en dia ni se acerca a lo que alguna vez fue pokemon, espero que los de nintendo tomen cartas en el asusnto y exijan mejor calidad a pokemon los fans que realmente queremos un buen juego nos merecemos algo mejor y de buena calidad.    … Expand

Coexisting with god of war ragnarok and two years after the last of us 2 goes to shows the abysmal difference between what a real triple A game can do and the actual performance of this game. Even in the same console breath of the wild and xenoblade 1 being old as **** give better performances with better graphics showing insane scenarios with crazy depth. With half the production level of gow it could have been goty and by far. Changing to an open world is an insanely good idea to be completely shadowed by a low level of production. In a non ironic way nexomon is better in terms of what they do with what they have and also in absolute terms. Your characters steps dont match the distance walked (if your steps are 1 meter long the character moves 1,1 meters aprox with each step) the amount of times that the screen goes blank to change from A to B is insane (made to save on animations), render distance is ridiculous, as long as camera shows high depth scenarios rotating it drains the fps like a vampire would do with your blood, if i talk about history i better just pull a gun and shoot myself in the balls, nonexistent dificulty with a system that almost forces you to overlevel as long as you step out of the main objectives and do something that is not walking, almost any shiny you want can reliably be caught in 40 minutes wich renders this game useless even for such a niche aspect. The only things that comes as good to my mind is that vgc tools are more accesible than ever wich is a trend that the series has with every game that releases since black and white 2 and music wich is always good but in this game being mediocre compared to sword and shield music. As always with this series since the last 6-7 years, this game is a complete deception. Even if a patch fixed all the nasty bugs and the fps performance that would still lead to a mediocre game with mediocre history and terribly mediocre graphics compared to games 10 years older. Just like modern warfare 3 was back in the day, a copy of the same ****ing game made to sell it to their braindead fans that buy the brand without any disregard for quality and to 5 years old kids. Just the chemically purest form of deception you could imagine

    The game does not perform well, and it is so upsetting that it detracts so much from the enjoyment of the game.

So whereas before, you could look at things you didn’t like & attribute them to questionable game design, now anything that isn’t right you know 100% for a fact it’s due to the game being so rushed. For example, no level scaling for an game where you “can” challenge gyms in any order, not an intentional design choice, just not enough time to get it right. No battle mode set option, never been absent before, not intentional, just rushed. No shop interiors, no homes to walk into, and only pop up Pokémon centers? Not minimalist game design, just no time to fully flesh the world out. No voice acting? Not because of tradition, just the most profitable franchise in the world refusing to spend a dime on making these games better.

    This game truly sits at about a 6, but because of the fanboys giving it 10's telling you, "if you ignore everything that is horrible about the game, it's actually good!" I have to give it a 0. If you went to pull out your first stake from the ground, saw the black screen with text saying "you pulled out the stake, and it vanished," rather than an animation of it actually happening, you can't give this a 10.

Even if the game wasn't constantly on the verge of falling apart at the seams, the game mechanics and presentation are extremely lacking.

Even for switch, come on Breath of the Wild has a debut game for Switch and if that game was a 10, this pokemon game is a 2.
    The gameplay loop is ok, "quick battle system", battle some trainers, gym's, a lot of pokemons to catch in the open world, but instead of improving the franchise they are throwing it in the trash.
    I grew up playing this game and I'm almost 30, I DON'T WANT TO DO PICNICS, I DON'T WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL,I don't want photo mode (specially is this crappy texture and polished game), I don't care about the gym's leader silly story, I don't want to do weirdo melon fall guys style crop challenge, I don't want to have a friendly rival (wtf?). I want a challenge, I want to be the Champion, I want to build a strong team and the game isn't about that anymore. I know that is been a while since the franchise is getting easier, but the problem here, is that the focus of this game is not the Pokemon anymore... is the silliness of this poor and bad designed open world.
    The game is silly and has no identity anymore. I just don't get it, Gamefreak conquered the world with a working formula -> Monster Taming RPG is fun, and now they are changing the franchise to a dumb kid social game. Let me tell you one thing Gamefreak , my 10 years old sister plays ROBLOX with their whole class and no one care about your pokemon game. Actually Roblox community makes better pokemon games than you do. Your audience has aged! And maybe I won't even bother buying this game for my kids... I rather give him a gameboy so they could play Emerald.
    The game is not fun anymore, the pokemon design is poor as so is the world, the texture and the direction of this game.
    The performance issues are serious, low fps, weird glitches and etc, but to be honest, if the game was really good, no one would care about those. Elden Ring has performance issues and is one of the greatest game of all time.
    The open world concept is poor and it doesn't match the genre, pokemon games always had difficult spikes and a simple and good enough story to go through, do you remember that felling that you HAD to beat Misty's Starmie to go on on your adventure?? That was cool, man, give me that back!!! Now they throw all of that way with a dummy school theme and super poor open world experience.
    The most important piece in a open world, is the WORLD, isn't the 'open', this game world has nothing, I'm sorry is a bunch of grass, or sand, or ice. I mean GTA open world has people, cars, building, stores, quests all over the place. This pokemon game has nothing, the cities are simples, buildings have no interior, the open world is empty, is bunch of pokemons spread out over nothing, a few trainers here and there, some itens are spread over the world, but you know, there is nothing to do there... all the thing are centered in the cities/hubs.

    If you get any open world game, you will see a lol of thing to do and interact with, this game has nothing, even on the NPC side.... there is no point on chatting with anyone in this game... no side quest, no collectables, no unlockables... instead of builiding the world aroung the game objectives, it seem like they just build the world and spread the 18 objectives you have on this game over that empty world. 18 .... this is usually less than the amount of 1 kind of side quest you have to take on normal games... this whole open world games has : 8 gyms (+ elite four as usual) , 5 titans, 5 stat hideouts .... and you are done.

    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.

    Just as expected, Nintendo/Gamefreak's latest title is a low effort cash grab just like sword and shield. Laughable graphics, questionable pokemon design and bugs a-plenty, its all here.

    Horrible Game by modern game standards.
    The Gameplay hasnt improved at all compared to previous titles.
    The Graphics look like the Game came out in 2002.
    Full of Bugs, crashes and extreme FPS drops.

    I've played every mainline Pokemon entry since Crystal and a fair amount of the spinoff games. I've loved this franchise for a long time, and the state in which this game has launched has really made me sad. The character designs are fun and interesting. The new Pokemon designs are pretty cool and I really like Paldea as a region.

The new Pokemon designs are pretty cool and I really like Paldea as a region. Lastly, the three story paths are actually interesting, but these are the only positive things I can say about this game right now. I can imagine that this would be acceptable to people who only play games on switch, but for those of us who have played a modern benchmark title on any other platform, this is plainly unacceptable. The performance in both the cities and open world is horrible. Anything that is more than a meter or two away from the player moves like it's in a powerpoint presentation. The frame rate drops every ten or so seconds even when nothing is going on and the textures look like they were ripped straight out of the N64 era. I'm not playing any further until there's a performance patch, and I would urge anyone who has not bought this game yet to wait. This is a sorry state for a mainline game from the highest grossing media franchise of all time to have launched in. Please do not buy this or continue playing it at least until something is done.… Expand

    I have never seen a more pathetic excuse of a full priced game in my life. The buggiest mess, and technically inept. It doesnt work, the basic systems dont function. The removal of day care.

    I could finish cyberpunk at launch, but this make that look like a perfectly polished game. Uninstalled.

    It's pain me to leave a bad review on a pokemon game, but it's unaceptable that in 2022, and with other games like Xenoblade or Brathe of the Wild in the same console, Gamefreak release a game with so many bugs and so low fps; at the point when people reports that the game produce headaches.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game seems like an old man’s desperate attempt to modernize a franchise. Beyond bugs and uneven graphics, Game Freak still struggles to take Pokémon to the state games look and work in 2022. The game is evidently unfinished. You can no longer access buildings, and even stores are no longer 3D rendered spaces, as they have been turned into flat menus that break into your screen when you “go through a door”. They couldn't even bother to give a background to the Elite 4 members and went for a generic battle arena where you wait for the next one to show up. The open world is fun enough to explore, but the map is almost impossible to work with, zooming in and out returns you to the place you’re at, forcing you to start over if you’re looking for a specific city or area you need to go to, there’s so little information or clues to help you navigate, you’re left alone, forced to get lost and move around Paldea with no sense of what an ideal progression should be (unless you take it to yourself and look it up online, but games shouldn’t give us homework). Ok, honestly, exploring a Pokémon world with no compass might seem like a fun thing to do, and it would be, if the game’s difficulty would adapt to the player’s level, thus becoming a unique experience for every user and an overall gratifying playthrough. It doesn’t. If you take the “wrong path” you’ll be facing tough challenges at first (a nice change of pace for a game that loves to hold hands and treat everyone like a 2 year old), but then again, if you do so, everything else will be so ridiculously easy it’ll become a chore to actually finish the game. This time around they decided to mix up the formula by threading 3 different storylines into the main game. And I was excited at first. Then I realized it’s the same 3 challenges over and over and over again. Gyms are a joke as usual, easy to defeat with one move. Titans have the exact same mechanic 5 times in a row: fight, defeat, follow the titan two steps further, fight again. Arven shows up. He prepares a sandwich. He gives you a sandwich. You give the sandwich to Koraidon. Arven gets mad at koraidon. Arven gives his sandwich to his own Pokémon. The Pokémon feels a bit better. Every single time. Same animation. Same dialogue. It’s infuriating. And finally there’s team star. Where you get into a base and run around pressing the R button for a challenge they pretend is harder than it looks. Then face the leader, defeat with one super effective move, listen to the story of how they were bullied into leaving the academy. And that’s that. Repetitive, unimaginative, it doesn’t ask us to be creative or strategic. Just learn one move that’s super effective and keep pressing that A button. To be fair, the new Pokémon do introduce new mechanics, new abilities and new moves that will make battling with friends more exciting. But if that’s what you’re selling, then cut out the mediocre storyline you force us into. Is it better than Gens 6, 7, and 8? Yes. Is it thousands of years away from the original 5? 100%. Pokémon used to push the boundaries of handheld systems. Now it’s the punchline of how bad a game can be and still sellout in stores.… Expand

    Ignore the paid critics. Need I remind everyone that Breath of the Wild, Xenoblade 2, and Super Mario Odyssey exist on the same console and all three released 5 years ago ON THE SAME YEAR THE SWITCH CAME OUT.

It's even worse to consider the fact that fans and critics turn a blind eye just for the very reason that it's a series as massive as Pokémon. What a joke. They should consider going back to the drawing board and actually giving this game and the fans the polish they deserve. Too bad that won't happen, and people will continue to consume this lousy excuse of a product.… Expand

    The worst Pokemon game I've ever played. Empty, flat, and bland open world ridden with bugs. Not worth your money and I wish I could get a refund.

    Game released prematurely and without love.
    Very ugly Pokémon designs.
    Bugs and Glitches everywhere. Graphically and visually horrible. The worst generation of Pokemon I've ever seen.

    fun game play obscured by horrible graphics, and extremely poor performance. They have stopped caring about the Pokemon games.

    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.
