    GameFreak, stop being stubborn and ask Monolith to show you how it's done.

    GameFreak has been relying on Pokemon's success to handwave their own issues. You only need to look at Little Town Hero to know just how far the Pokemon name is carrying them through their own dare I say incompetence. As it is, despite this being their fourth switch game, they are still going at game development as if they were on the 3DS. And there is no excusing that. Stubbornly refusing to change their model, to expand from the small familial studio, refusing to try and learn how 3D development is supposed to work and refusing to ask help from people that know what they're doing is killing Pokemon. Not on a sales way unfortunately but quality wise. While I'm hoping the reviews will be the kick in the butt GameFreak needs, I'm not holding my breath.    … Expand

    If the artistic direction is problematic, well, the optimisation of the game in the console is unacceptable. The game struggles a lot: frame rate drops drastically in the most randome moments, characters/props and pokemon flickers constantly, and the animations of what's on the map is so slow that it looks like you're playing a stop motion videogame.

    This game is garbage that recycles the same cutscenes over and over again IN THE MAIN STORY, I'm not talking about side quests, 90% of the story is the same recycled scene with different dialogue. The rival is a character without personality and flat, the story is simple, boring and without any development. And finally the graphics are rubbish. 0/10

What I received was an incomplete game with unplayable bugs and, moreover, without the improvements on gameplay from the Legend of Arceus. Save your money and keep playing Legends.

    I'll be honest, I really don't understand the current obsession with open world games, why does every game nowadays need to be open world? Kirby, Sonic and now Pokémon are all franchises have recently made the transition to open world and may have lost their identity in the process.

    Anyway, the game... Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the worst performing game I have played in a long long    I'll be honest, I really don't understand the current obsession with open world games, why does every game nowadays need to be open world? Kirby, Sonic and now Pokémon are all franchises have recently made the transition to open world and may have lost their identity in the process.

    Anyway, the game... Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is the worst performing game I have played in a long long time. I can usually overlook poor performance if the game is immersive and entertaining. Games like Skyrim are a good example of this - full of bugs but enjoyable. Bugs are also not necessarily a bad thing, the first generation of Pokémon had bugs (e.g. Missingno) which didn't impact on performance and actually made the game more exciting in a way. The kind of bugs seen in this generation ruin any immersion of the game and made me lose interest in some of the battling, especially when the camera clips through the landscape.

    The game is ugly, about 10 minutes in I realised this where I was looking at my rival of the game (Nemona) in the distance who was just a pixelated mess. in fact, avoid looking at anything in the distance in this game, the visuals are horrendous.

    The framerate is garbage and is as bad as everyone is saying, going back to the last point, if you look at anything in the distance it is pretty much guaranteed to have a bad framerate. The windmill in the first town I visited was, no joke, rotating at 3 frames per second... the Tick Tock Clock level in Mario 64 managed similar with no issue. I've actually seen a graphics comparison to Sonic Adventure on the Dreamcast - take a look, seriously.

    One thing that has been improved is the Pokedex, collecting Pokemon is fun again! From starting my adventure I made it my mission to catch as many different types of Pokemon as I could. This however was slightly detrimental as since you gain EXP every time you catch a Pokémon, it made me over levelled for any trainers that I came across. This made the battles in the game the most boring in the whole series and I avoided most of them (which is now easy to do as trainers no longer approach you).

    The game has been even easier. You can't choose the battle style to set anymore, EXP All is again mandatory, you can craft TMs at every Pokemon Centre instead of seeking them out. God knows how you'd even attempt a Nuzlocke to give the game a slight difficulty boost. With all the things the Gamefreak changed in the game is it too much to ask for some kind of hard mode.

    I'm hoping these issues will be resolved, but to release a game in this state at full price is really scummy. They should be ashamed of themselves. Shigeru Miyamoto himself said “A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever.” Why couldn't Gamefreak follow the same principles?    … Expand

You can't just go and do whatever gym you want to do because they all still have a set level to them. The map is devoid of puzzles or interesting features to see. There's very little in the way of customization for your character. Overall the entire thing is a giant waste of time that doesn't even look or sound good. I can't believe I was excited for this trash.
    I'm blown away that this is somehow a step backwards from PLA. NONE of the quality of life improvements made in PLA exist here. You can't throw your balls, you can't dodge roll, the poke.on don't interact in a meaningful way, moving feels bad, you can't change your clothing, there's no real story, the map is empty, there are no puzzles, no voice acting, nothing. The only good thing this game has going for it are the new Pokemon designs, but I can look at those online.

    Gamefreak has shown they can't create a visually good game. Pokemon fans should not support this kind of development and I'm honestly shocked a buggy, ugly game like this has broken pre-sale records.. They should go back to 2D games if that's what they're good at.

    The game genuinely has a fun story and you can see tons of effort in some places, but the glitches and graphical issues are unreal. Fixing those would make this game jump to an extremely high rating. Sadly, it's nearing Sonic 06 levels of unfinished.

    Soundtrack/OST 9/10
    This is very subjective so I just going to say that I really liked it.

    Open World & Design: 7/10
    Real open world is such a big improvement from Arceus. Better interaction from pokemon in the different areas. Better design of environment. Pokemon design are good enough for me. It's a shame that gym leaders/dominants/bosses doesn't level up with you and this issue is very critical to me as a good/bad design to an RPG.

    Mechanics & Difficulty: 6/10
    Not much to say here. I just think tera did it better than dinamax but not that outstanding. Raids are better in this game. To be honest, difficulty I think it was just ok. But it's a shame some good mechanics from arceus were gone and there's no set mode.

    Gameplay and Performance: 0/10
    Sorry but all the good things this game did with everything above was destroyed by this. I mean, visual bugs, low fps rate, slow gameplay, data leak problem, bad models and textures, glitches everywhere... Everything about this is just horrible, this game needed another year... It's a big shame that this happens when we finally got a very good plot and cool innovations. Because, even with these things the game feels incomplete and unplayable for moments.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. “The Most Rubbish Pokémon Game”

    1) Graphics is appalling and unacceptable. It’s surprising for such a huge franchise to accept this. 2) There are too many glitches,
    - during battles you can see your own Pokémon(differs based upon the angle of the terrain)
    - wild Pokémon keep running around between you as you battle
    - you keep falling through things 3) the world is EMPTY. Just like legends arceus. The Pokémon are too small and hidden in grass. You cannot appreciate them at all. The entire game feels like koraidon/ miraidon running through empty land 3) CITIES AND TOWNS ARE POINTLESS - you can’t enter any building, there is no point in exploring them. You can’t speak to half the people. If someone does reply you end up speaking with their Pokémon rather than them. 4) all 3 timelines are starfall street, titan challenge and the gym challenge are a joke. - all star bosses have the same animation / same car. There is literally no difference. The let’s go style beat down is pointless and brainless. - the titan challenges are absolutely bogus, there is no story behind any titan. Once again all of them have the same animation and cut scenes sequences exactly copied and pasted. You can simply run around the entire map within the first few hours destroying them.

    - the gym challenges are not scaled. Since there is no sequence you can beat them in any order. Gym challenges are bogus. The gym buildings are shallow with nothing to explore in them. 4) Clearly the line of animation / art/ vision taken right from legends arceus was incorrect. This is an unacceptable game. I have been playing since gen 1. 5) there are no puzzles / challenges / trainer battles throughout the game. You can literally run across the map. BOYCOTT POKÉMON SV. This is unacceptable!    … Expand

The gameI lowered my expectations for what a new Pokemon game should be like after Sword and Shield disappointed me. Somehow, this game took even my lowest expectations and managed to be worse. It's an absolute abysmally-optimized lag-fest that was CLEARLY not ready for release. Almost every motion in the game is laggy, stutters, or drops the frame-rate. Everything is choppy and buggy. The game moves at a literal crawl. Almost everything in the environment is un-textured and super ugly. On top of this, the series continues going in the direction of anti-fun, with a forced experience share for the whole party, not showing stat improvements on level-up, a massively long and hand-holding tutorial, and (this is just what I heard) is still linear in terms of levels. You can *go anywhere* but if you do you'll just get the snot beat out of you for going somewhere you're not a high enough level for yet. Clearly Pokemon is not yet ready for the transition to Open-World gaming, as it somehow breaks everything whilst also being incredibly boring. Not to mention it's 2022, this is the NINTH main title for the series, and there is STILL no voice acting. Just tons of boring text on screen and awkward NPC mouth movements with no noise coming out. Now, before you think this is nothing but a hate-fest, I will say this: There are several improvements I can see they have made that I like. They are trying some new things out and some of the changes actually look interesting. That being said, those nice changes are pointless when made in such a terrible game as this. As someone who has ALWAYS bought a new Pokemon game on release, I now have to sadly say that I simply cannot do that anymore. What a waste of $60. It's insane how awfully this franchise is treated by its creators when its one of the most popular franchises worldwide. If you're on the fence, or just curious about it, DO NOT BUY THIS GAME. Heck, even if you're a die-hard Pokemon fan I don't recommend it. I love Pokemon, but these new games are simply sheer garbage.… Expand

    La realidad es que es un videojuego muy divertido, jugable y mecánicamente me parece lo mejor que hay de pokémon hasta la fecha.

    Te engancha a continuar con la historia, 3 líneas narrativas que son mucho más interesantes que en otras entregas. A la vez, te incita también a perderte por el mapa capturando pokémon o buscando los teracristales. Todo esto combinado hace que tengas distintas posibilidades para desarrollar tu camino como entrenador pokémon de la forma que mejor te parezca. En este aspecto tengo que añadir que me hubiera gustado que el juego hubiera implementado el autoleveo de los rivales, o al menos de los líderes de gimnasio, jefes del team star y pokémon dominantes, para darle una versatilidad casi perfecta.

    En lo personal, el hecho de que esté ambientado en España y tenga guiños tanto a lo gastronómico como a las inspiraciones de muchos de los pokémon o el estilo arquitectónico de diversas ciudades, es para mi un punto a favor más.

    Por último, también hay que hablar de lo malo, y es el apartado técnico. Gráficamente le falta un poco, lo pueden hacer mucho mejor, estoy seguro. El juego me ha crasheado 2 veces, los bajonazos de fps son notorios y he visto ciertos bugs gráficos y de cámara, pero esto no ha desplomado mi experiencia de juego. Al menos para mi, este apartado deficiente no me resulta excesivamente importante como para echar por los suelos todo el trabajo bien hecho que han realizado en la parte narrativa y jugable. Cabe destacar también que muchos de los bugs, glitches y cosas extrañas del videojuego que se comparten en redes sociales son de emulaciones o pirateos, lo cual tiene una validez nula.

    En conclusión, el videojuego me ha encantado y lo estoy disfrutando como si fuera un niño jugando por primera vez a pokémon, me ha devuelto a la ilusión de mi infancia. Obvio que hay que quejarse de las deficiencias técnicas que tiene el videojuego, pero seamos serios, al igual que hacemos esto también se debe poner en valor todo lo bueno que tiene, que es muchísimo.    … Expand

    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.
