Nov 20, 2022What a utter disappointment this was, filled with awful animations, low res textures and horrible bugs. Please skip this game. Gamefreak needs to take a blow to know they have to do better.
-
Nov 20, 2022Não tem como defender mais, jogo preguiçoso e mal feito em todos os sentidos, pokemons horriveis, historia péssima não da. LIXO TOTAL
-
Nov 20, 2022Completamente roto, lleno de bugs, rendimiento malo, graficos de hace 15 años, una absoluta verguenza de juego. Y los seguidores de cierto calvo defendiendo esta pedazo de M

Nov 20, 2022Generally buggy and hard to look at while playing. The framerate and slowdown can become so bad that the game becomes slow motion while battling. I avoided fights for most of the game because it is so sluggish. The game is a 6/10 but I have to give it a 0 on metacritic because fanboys will give it a perfect 10 and it doesn't deserve that by a longshot.
-
Nov 20, 2022One the wrost games i have ever played. I could go on endlessly on bugs and how horribly the graphic are. The music is awful and the game performance just unplayable.

Nov 20, 2022Although I've had some fun playing this game it has been because I've been enjoying seeing bugs and reproducing them. But other than that this game is incredibly broken and feels unfinished. Please stop buying these games for a while! Gamefreak keeps pumping out these unfinished low effort games because of the community

Nov 20, 2022I was totally exited when i heard Gf wanted to make the next gen Pokemon main game open world.
But o boy i wish they didn't. The world just looks bad. Bland empty grasslands with mountains and a few copy pasted trees. FPS drops everywhere. You go into town and the npcs are lagging around.Really can't recommend it sadly. -
Nov 20, 2022I love the direction they went for this could finally be the pokemon game we all have been waiting for if they can patch it to make it a enjoyable experience. I just can't enjoy something that gives me a migraine when I play it! Don't care about the pop-in but the slow down, 5fps, stuttering and halftime animations even up close need to be fixed.

Nov 20, 2022Sem qualidade técnica, péssima performance no console em questões gráficas e de desempenho.
Inexistência da linguagem PT-BR.
Um total descaso com a franquia e seus fãs -
Nov 20, 2022The idea itself is cool, as in Pokemon. But so what, the game works badly, the graphics are like from 15 years ago and it runs at 10FPS. it is incomprehensible why Nintendo allows this sh*t to be released...

Nov 23, 2022Este juego fue el único que me engancho más en un juego de Pokémon desde el Pokémon blanco y negro en serio es perfecto aunque con los errores de rendimiento (que se soluciona con solo un parche) y bugs (lo mismo) es muy disfrutable el juego 100% recomendado
-
Nov 20, 2022The best Pokémon ever made with the worse graphics ever. Gamefreak must need ask for help from ntelligent System to fix this game.

Nov 20, 2022This game just doesn't feel finished. GameFreak did an incredible job with PLA. They had us wondering what they could truly pull off with a 3D game if given proper feedback, but now it seems like they've taken a step back in every way possible.
-
Nov 20, 2022El peor juego de Pokémon. Mal optimizado, con unos gráficos y animaciones aberrantes. Un engaño al consumidor
-
Nov 20, 2022El juego tiene serios problemas de rendimiento y estos vienen acompañados por una gran cantidad de Bugs, esto es inaceptable, por lo tanto hasta que no parchen el juego no lo puedo recomendar.
-
Nov 20, 2022This game needed more time to polish. This is a multi billion dollar company that churns out a game with dropping frame rates, terrible texture quality and just so so many bugs (I fell through the map). Just stop making games altogether or give the job to a company who know what they're doing.

Nov 20, 2022It is unacceptable that one of the most profitable video game franchises, such as Pokemon, continues to release games in this state. Xenoblade chronicles a game from 12 years ago is better done.
-
Nov 20, 2022La mecánica de teracristalizacion es definitivamente la peor de todas y la calidad no es digna de un juego AAA
-
Nov 20, 2022El juego es una mierda, no hay por donde cogerlo, es una putísima alfa. Nintendo nos caiga en la boca y tragamos agusto. SESENTA EUROS SEÑORES, SESENTA EUROS POR UN JUEGO UN POCO MENOS CUTRE QUE EL ARCEUS
-
Nov 20, 2022Tecnicamente o jogo é muito porco, framerate muito baixo e vai piorando com o tempo. popIns constates, serrilhados em quase tudo e qualquer coisa a mais de 5 metros do personagem a textura é horrível. Era pra ser um jogo muito bom, mas tem tanto problema que irrita demais.

Nov 20, 2022Worst pokemon game by far when talking about performance and bugs, really sad because the story seems cool but virtually unplayable as of now. Stay clear until some performance patches come out, that is if they even do come out
-
Nov 20, 2022Sem legendas pr-br, péssima otimização, pouca inovação.
Pokémon parou no tempo -
Nov 20, 2022I'm so sick of this game already thanks to the glorious amounts of bugs and glitches, it's so bad that it rivals the level of bugginess in Sonic Colors Ultimate. This game has been "in development" for about 2 yrs and this is the best they can put out??? I genuinely hate GF for what they have done, I hope that the sales for this game tank just like it reputation already has.

Nov 20, 2022Jogo feito apenas pra arrancar dinheiro dos fãs, deviam estudar e aprender que existe outros idiomas na Terra
-
Nov 20, 2022This game is a trip back in time to Nintendo 64, is sad to see what Pokemon has become in video games
-
Nov 20, 2022Just as bad as Scarlet.. 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.
-
Nov 20, 2022No Set mode
No toggling off battle animations
No turning off EXP share
Bad performance and ugly art style
Fix the game GF -

Nov 20, 2022Gamefreak is being lazy, and just want money, this game needs a lot of work, needs to be fixed, a I complete game is a bad game for me. Ugly, and I don't mean the art style. Stuff appearing and disappear 2 meters from you, it's like a amateur studio made it. Say indie is disrespectful for indies companies.

Nov 21, 2022Bugmon violet esse é para ser o nome, pior jogo com performance técnica que ja joguei, qualquer empresa indie com menos dinheiro faz melhor que isso

Nov 21, 2022Worst game in the whole franchise almost to the extend it’s an insult to the fans

Nov 22, 2022I've been playing it fir hours on end every day since it's release and I absolutely love it! It's so fun and I love all the mechanics! The graphics are also really amazing and I've never played a better pokemon game than this. I might even rate it the too game I've ever played!
-
Nov 21, 2022Unacceptable, worst than previous entries. Gamefreak and the pokemon company needs to start doing the right thing, test their games and no rush it.
-
Nov 28, 2022Can be glitchy and laggy at times. Hopefully they release a patch soon. Probably the most fun Pokemon game in a while. I love the open world and the new monsters. It probably could have used a few more months just to iron out the glitches. Hopefully the next game will have voice acting.
-
Dec 6, 2022This game make me feel like a kid again. The new pokedex, open world, gym leaders, Team Star, music... The best pokemon game in years.
-
Dec 5, 2022the performance is so bad that any other factors cannot outweigh this. unreal that a game is released in 2022 by one of the largest developers in the world and this is the result
-
Nov 25, 2022Besides from graphic glitch, this game is a masterpiece, the only pity part is that we can't change our clothes.
-
Dec 11, 2022I love how people prefer an ugly outdated and bad game over an unfinished game but with great potential and waiting for future updates. Ironically the market says everything. This is the best pokemon game has been made so far. Give it some time people
-
Dec 1, 2022Não tem nem como joga isso, parei antes do primeiro ginasio, de tão insuportavel que estava a performance
-
Nov 26, 2022Awesome game, a solid 7.5 and would be a 9 without performance problems, literally the best pokemon game along with BW2. 10 to balance the unjustified 0's.
-
Nov 29, 2022I don't see why people are complaining at all, this game looks absolutely fantastic!
-
Nov 30, 2022This game is a blast to play! But i just think it's stupid that when trading back pokemon to the original owner the pokemon will still disobey you. By the time I was at the third gym (with level 20-25 pokemon I'm pretty sure) my Quaxly was at its final evolution just as an example of hiw much I over level. I don't know know how to but can someone appeal this to Gamefreak or Nintendo about this.
-
Dec 6, 2022Probably one of the best new Pokémon games to come out in the last 10 years. Incredibly fun and although the graphics aren’t the best, everybody knows you don’t buy Pokémon for the graphics. You buy it for the gameplay.

Nov 21, 2022Juego sin corazon y echo al aventón, Nintendo es famoso por sus altos estándares de calidad pero en esta ocasión nadie lo verifico, glitches, Bugs, bajones de framerate, Game Freak es un estudio que ya no puede seguir con la franquicia de Pokémon y seder a otro estudio serio comprometido con lo que el fandom pide y merece

Nov 23, 202210/10 gameplay, 0/10 technical capability. Averages out to a mediocre experience overall.
I personally had a lot of fun playing through all of the stories of Pokemon Violet, but I want my score to reflect that this game squandered its potential due to all of the bugs and glitches I’ve experienced and have seen other experience while playing. Truly sad to see. -
Nov 25, 20229 and 10 reviews of this game are the main problem of this industry, people who buys whatever dogsh*t their favorite company launches. The state of this game is unacceptable and is plagued by a ton of bugs. The story sucks and the npcs are constantly interrupting you to say trashy dialogues.
-
Nov 29, 2022Disgusting: ramerate drops, pop-in, visual bugs, etc. Any other first party Nintendo title would've been delayed in this technical state.

Dec 6, 2022Best pokemon game since gen 5. If you’re letting small bugs get on the way of the amazing story then that’s on you, this game is amazing!
-
Dec 6, 2022This games story and pokemon are truly beautiful. I love the open world and how much freedom the game gives you.
-

-
Dec 6, 2022I haven't had as much fun with a game in many many years. Yes the technical flaws should be improved in the next game, but characters, story and open world are really well done!
-
Dec 6, 2022So much potential wasted by a rushed launch, neglectful patches and poorly designed UI
-
Dec 6, 2022As much as its changed, there's still more that's the same as its always been.
It's still a game that has zero respect for your time, making you read the same action descriptions over and over again.
Graphics and performance are well below expectations for a 2022 release for a property as huge as Pokemon. -

-
Dec 7, 2022Abandoning the precious and unique art style of Pokémon, in exchange for a large number of BUGs and errors, a large number of blacks, ugly cheap characters, and it is difficult to distinguish the gender of the characters, catering to the politically correct Pokémon world.
-

Nov 20, 2022I regret buying this game. It is a RIPOFF. $60????? This will probably be my LAST pokemon game. Full of bugs and glitches. This is DISRESPECTFUL to the pokemon community and a DISRESPECT to our hard-earned money.
-
Nov 20, 2022Even without the embarrassing amount of severe technical issues this isent worth anybodys money. Its an ugly, dead openworld game without anything intriguing to see or interesting to do other than catching pokemon. No voice acting, terrible sound design and no endgame.

Nov 21, 2022It should not be allowed to release games with such a technical state. It is a disaster.
From now on, I will not trust Nintendo anymore. I will wait for reviews before buying any Switch game, and if it is not good, then i will not spend any single cent on it. -
Nov 21, 2022Undoubtedly the buggiest and most technically fumbled pokemon game to ever come out, shame on you GameFreak.
-
Nov 21, 2022Like for Pokemon Scarlet I can't bring my self to play the game.
The removal of set mode feels so random and unreasonable. People now get punished for wanting a little more challenge in the game. Also the performance and graphics are really bad, even for a switch game. -
Nov 20, 2022The most disappointed and confused I've ever been after forcing myself to play it all weekend. There's not a single aspect of it that doesn't leave something to be desired. The bugs/glitches can be easily overlooked but what you're left with is a comical, disrespectful attempt of a game tied to this franchise.
-
Nov 20, 2022The new no man's sky/cyberpun 2077.
Bugs, a terrible frame rate, pop it, textures from the n64 era.
It's a completely mess. Fix de game game freak. -

Nov 21, 2022Imposible jugar. Lag, caída de fps, fuga de memoria tras varias horas, texturas, bugs... Lo tiene todo, pero malo. Así no se puede disfrutar de una experiencia de juego. Siento que nos han estafado a todos.
-
Nov 21, 2022Pokemon Company mais uma vez decepcionando. Jogo horrível, gráficos toscos, mal acabados, cheio de Bug, pokedex criada da forma mais preguiçosa, enfim decepção total.
-
Nov 21, 2022Yeah the game is really good in tearms of innovations in the story line but it has so many bugs, crashes and stutters. It seems that is still in development
-
Nov 21, 2022
-
Nov 21, 2022There is no way the biggest grossing franchise, release a game this unpolished, feels like im playing a fan game
-
Nov 21, 2022Right now, the technical issues make playing this a little jarring. The jerky models, low frame rate, camera not liking slopes and at times, your player model can break that get you stuck.
I also feel alot of the personality they added in Sw/Sh was taken away. The NPCs just feel so stiff and emotionless.
The review may change if TPC/GW patches this rushed mess, but we will have to wait and see -
Nov 21, 2022You need to take time game freak!! Like really you have not even designed the inside of the buildings I can't even enter house like what is this. Also the game is buggy as ****
-
Nov 21, 2022Tal y como ha salido el juego se están riendo en la cara de la gente. Mal funcionamiento en general y bastante pobre en todos los aspectos. Va en buena dirección pero se merece un sabotaje por pensar que algo en estas condiciones es aceptable

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.
