Nov 19, 2022This game was specifically made for this console and is worse then many better looking and better playing ports.
-
Nov 19, 2022an irredeemable mess from a multi billion dollar franchise, Crashes/frame rate issues poor texture quality poor pop in poor texture pop in, dreadful music. the first game in the series I will be refunding.

Nov 19, 2022Worst graphics and glitchy as hell
-
Nov 19, 2022People who give more than 6 don't know a sheep about videogames. When Cyberpunk released, everywhere get mad and called it a failure. Pokemon is full of bugs and glitch, worst game of 2022 because it has empty space, bad designed pokemon and FPS drops. How can anyone play this trash?
-
Nov 19, 2022Their arrogance went too far. It is a clear fraud to launch into the market without even doing basic testing.
-
Nov 19, 2022Gamefreak has scammed everyone with a $60 piece of garbage, they should be ashamed and promptly fix all the bugs. While theyre at it, finish the game because it was obviously incomplete.

Nov 19, 2022Someone should pay you to play this absolute garbage game. The graphics are the same as some random bad game from 2005.
-
Nov 19, 2022This game is unplayable, and all it does is crash, stutter, or freeze, at 5 frames a second.
-
Nov 19, 2022This game is is extremely broken in many ways. The game itself is a broken and buggy mess. The game meta is broken from the get go with recovery nerfed, a OP gimmick and a lot of offensive new threats and online still rubbish. Fix your bloody game GF!!

Nov 19, 2022Game just is a buggy mess and runs extremely poorly. Not at all indicative of what this system is capable of. It's clear this wasn't given enough time. Framerate drops, pop-in, visual bugs, etc. Any other first party Nintendo title would've been delayed in this technical state.
-
Nov 19, 2022Game is borderline unplayable in its current state. Absolutely shameful of Nintendo to allow it on the shelves. Speaking As a huge Pokémon fan, please don’t buy this

Nov 19, 2022After ignoring the unacceptable graphics of pokemon the cuts on the dex and the previous realised pokemon remakes of diamond and pearl this game made all of that look pretty good games yes I love the fact pokemon scarlet and violet is open world it is mo excuse for the performance of the game the glitch of the camera and more and I found all of this with only 3h of gameplay
-
Nov 19, 2022Poor graphics, glitches, fps drops, there's a lot of games with better graphics on switch than this and don't haven 10% of problems pokemon scalet has. Lacking of PT-BR localization, again.
-
Nov 28, 2022N64 textures, bugs, glitches... You name it. Pokemon Violet has it all. I can't believe this was made by a multi-billion dollar company.
-
Nov 27, 2022HOW DID POKÉMON VIOLET PASS GOLD CERTIFICATION?! Everything SUCKS!! I only liked the music's and pokemon new designs but.. GRAPHICS PERFORMANCE SUCKS BUTT!!
-
Nov 27, 2022I did everything in my power to like the game, I even made like 15 videos explaining everything about the game...
But you can't, you simply can't ignore how insulting the gameplay and NPC design is. -

Nov 26, 2022The game is unplayable with all theses bugs... Also, the graphics are horrible.
-
Nov 27, 2022Crashes, bugs and 2 fps... it is annoyingly bad. I played around 8 hours, with 10 Crashs. No minute without bug. It is so ugly. Every mobile game looks better. Traveling around is so annoying. It is so slow paced. Everything is so so so so so slow....

Nov 25, 2022For a AAA game and the biggest franchise ever, it’s unacceptable, i dont care much about the graphics but performance wise, its just bad,
-
Nov 26, 2022it’s supposed to be a nintendo game on 2022? not only it looks 30 years behind, but it’s full lf bugs and problems and it has nothing good, plot, music, even the pokemon design this time isn’t on point as it always (at least that) was
-
Nov 27, 2022Worst Pokémon game until now, hands down.
Funny to play, difficult to enjoy -
Nov 27, 2022the worst of the Pokémon games in the main series. There are nice ideas, but they are placed in such a horrible and wrong context as to be in vain. it's basically a pre-alpha game, lag, graphical render, all wrong. this game needed at least another year before it was released

Nov 27, 2022Muy entretenido, mala optimization, historias aburridas, música aburrida, multijugador no optimizado, raids bastante lentos para entrar.
Batallas de gimnasios son un poco más difíciles que entregas como sword pero el hecho de tener raids que dan mucha experiencia hace que todo el juego en general sea bastante fácil de pasar, recomendaría no usar esa opción para disfrutar más del juego -
Nov 27, 2022Unpolished buggy release that constantly crashes. It's a disappointment that they released a game in this state.

Nov 27, 2022The technical performance of the game is terrible.
Nintendo Switch heats up like an oven. -
Nov 27, 2022El juego es una autentica basura en todos los sentidos, los graficos, el rendimiento, como conseguir a los legendarios, el reciclaje, el no poder entrar a las casas, los nombres de los pokemons, su diseño... Pura basura
-

Nov 28, 2022Its so damn bad, Arceus is so good in comparison.
They rushed it and didnt polish it enough.
Its really embarrassing to say the least.
Its really unfortunate, because i really enjoy most of the Pokemon games. -

Nov 28, 2022This damages Nintendo's brand for polished, fun games. For a AAA game franchise the performance issues and game design decisions here are abysmal. This should never have been released in this state. I'd refund if it was not a present for my kid.
-
Nov 29, 2022The pokemon company really needs to realize that they are ruining one of the most beloved game franchises ever, they need to invest more in tech and give devs the tools and resources to make better games instead of this garbage full of tech issues.
-
Nov 29, 2022giocando a questo gioco mi sono divertito si ma per i bug ci sono talmente tanti bug che si può solo ridere
-
Nov 29, 2022The game is very fun, but it has so much performance problems that I can't give it a good score.
It feels like Gamefreak is insulting me with this unfinished product that have AAA price. Performance is bad, really bad. Stable 30 fps is the minimum requirements to launch a game, and GF launched it with A LOT of lag, all the time. -

Dec 6, 2022Bad frame-rate. Misses button presses. Looks below average. Bland gym challenges. Good pokemon design. Missing features. Neat plot twist. Well below its potential.

-
Dec 8, 2022this mess was someone's 1st Pokémon game.we will lose many new Pokéfans to terrible broken games like this
-
Jan 3, 2023This is one of Gamefreaks most uninspiring games. Lagg, slow gameplay, Glitches, Team star is just an copy paste, gyms arent even inside of the gyms, people keep interupting your traveling, no fun caves towers etc, Story = mid, map design and emptyness. Im a pokemon fan but this is the worst one of the games. Gamefreak and pokemon should be ashamed! I want the old games back not the open world...

Nov 30, 2022Es muy divertido,no puedo decir que no, pero le falta muchisimas cosas, que claro la iran poniendo de a poco mas los fallos, así no, para eso sigue haciendolos estilos nds, y nos va a gustar mucho con un montón de cosas
-
Nov 29, 2022This game has an awful art style. It’s not mandatory for me drop a game without bugs and problem, but this is unacceptable.
The Monster design is sufficient. -

Dec 8, 2022What would can been an amazing game... Gone, Gamefreak is now a company that only meets deadlines and slowly patches them later on. They now only focus profit margins rather than create a stable game. Even though the game had so much potential, the performance is terrible. The online play is devastatingly bad.
-
Dec 8, 2022Where do I start, the buggy glitchy mess, the unstable 20ish frame rate, the dull pixel environment or the bad graphics and the lazy Ui. we know this game not gonna be fixed anytime soon if any at all giving the history of Game Freak and yet still charge a full AAA price tag.
Shame -
Dec 8, 2022este juego es una mierda, enserio es infumable, está rotisimo pero aunque no tuviera bugs es un juego de mierda, enserio es mas divertido no jugar a nada que jugar este insulto a los fans de la saga.

Dec 9, 2022It would have been an acceptable game if it was not for the ridiculous lag and the obvious uncompleted parts of the game do to a lack of time for the development.
-
Dec 9, 2022Why am I still forced to have exp share on?
Pokémon really outdid themselves trying to power creep this Gen, can’t wait for the 40 dollar dlc that ransoms peoples favorite Pokémon behind paywalls.
On top of the huge buggy mess that they released it in. -

Dec 10, 2022Who gave more than 5 to the game was paid by GF. No challange, no dungeons, no real bad team, there is no point on give free roaming when there isnt lv scaling on gyms.This is just a game for kids, and maybe not even a kid will appreciate that.The only good part is the post game.5 step back from legend arceus. It was hard to do a worse game than SwSh, gg to GF
-
Dec 10, 2022El juego esta muy bien en cuanto a concepto, pero no puede estar bien puntuado con los errores que tiene, texturas que van a 2fps, sombras muy pixeladas, da la impresión de que es un juego indie.
Me gusta mucho la libertad, y los escenarios.
Echo en falta una banda sonora en condicones, y los preciados puzzles que caracterizaban pokemon. -
Dec 10, 2022Abilty patch giving you ability to change pokemons ability back destroys many people spend time on previous games
-
Dec 11, 2022Honteux 60 euro pour un jeu non terminer remplie de bug.juste parceque c'est pokemon la mauvaise foie et de mise.honte à vous de défendre se jeux sous seul prétexte que vous avez eu du fun en sachant tout les probleme et la qualité technique au fraise en tout point.sa serait ubisoft ect vous seriez les premiers à crier au scandale reiveiller vous...
-
Dec 11, 2022The game is unfinished. I don't get it why they just released like this.
Also graphic looks so ugly. In game artwork also ugly. -

Jan 1, 2023Is this an alpha? Even 1/10 would have been too much for a software unable to work properly. Not to mention the usual missing challenge: the one and only struggle you experience is to find your way between bug and glitches, trying to get to the end of an entertaining plot.
-
Jan 5, 2023Goofy graphics & animations. The design is terrible and the storyline is weak. Nothing like what Pokemon used to be.
-
Jan 6, 2023For me there are WAY too many errors in a game from 2022. So extremely disappointed with the graphics, new Pokémon and general glitches. The ideas they have/had with the game are great. The execution now so much.
-
Sep 4, 2023Junk, buy anything Generation 1-7 instead. Tell Nintendo to revive the 3ds and throw the switch in the garbage.
-
May 26, 2023Ganz ehrlich, dieses Spiel ist die Definition von Abzocke, 60
Euro. Als N64 Spiel wäre das ganze nichtmal 20 Euro wert. Die Grafik ist lächerlich, hässlich und auch die Abstürze sind bodenlos. Einfach richtig schwache Leistung Gamefreak :( -

Jul 16, 2023You already know how people think about this game, and I'm just here to approve it. It's poorly made and so on. Please rethink it if you are planning to buy the DLC and buy yourself something useful instead... The final battle was neat, though.

Sep 5, 2023Not 0 ONLY because i like the way they tried a real open world .
But still , this game looks unfinished , tons of bugs , horrible graphics and exept Nemona all the characters are lame to be honest.. -
Nov 23, 2022The technical level of this game made me quit it four hours in. It’s unthinkable that a brand this big is capable of publishing this piece of crap after all the other amazing titles that have smoothly run on the Switch console. It’s time for us to put aside the “but it’s Pokémon” (I’ve been playing since gen 1 and I am a TCG collector) and stop accepting everything they throw at us.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)Jan 24, 2024Not 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]
-
Dec 14, 2023Pokemon 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.
-
Jul 31, 2023A 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.
