Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Review
okay
The open-world gameplay of Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is a brilliant direction for the future of the franchise, but this promising shift is sabotaged by the numerous ways in which Scarlet and Violet feel deeply unfinished.

A very buggy game, but a step in the right direction for the Pokemon Company. I hope this open world trend continues into future games

This game feels like playing an early build of something great. Some terrible slowdown, questionable UI decisions, and somewhat lacking multiplayer leave me wishing Gamefreak could have had more time to finish what is otherwise a very fun adventure.
Music isn’t great most of the time, and the story is pretty terrible, but movement and the basic mechanics are very strong and carry it a long way.
I’d recommend it, just dont expect anything crazy.

There are parts of this game that are super good. But my main issue is that it’s lost a lot of the charm that other Pokemon games (even Sword and Shield) had (for example: you can’t go into houses). There are many good ideas, but overall the game is clunky, and ugly. I recommend this game if you are already a fan of Pokémon. If not, try Arceus or Sword and Shield.

The worst Pokémon of all time, bad graphics, Boring gameplay, no exploration, no dub, no story.
The only positive thing about it's the lore and the new pokemon
