Poketto monsutâ baioretto

The game is the worse running release on switch. Just happy I got my money back. Shame on gamefreak....

The game is extremely laggy, is missing sort of polish.

The games story is flat. The school is pointless as well.

The game looks like a GameCube game from 2003 and that's me being nice.

Don't by the game it's not worth it.

It's time we hold Game freak accountable just like you would if it was Ubisoft.

Don't let your childhood nostalgia get in the way of what is by far the worse Pokémon game ever released to the public.....

Nintendo should have a professional business conversation with game freak about how to move forward with making half confident games...

10 out of 10 - A Bold, Visionary Evolution of the Series

If Pokémon Scarlet broke ground, Pokémon Violet refined it. While both games share the core structure and Paldea region, Violet takes a sleeker, more futuristic approach that gives it a distinct flavor - aesthetically, thematically, and narratively. This isn't just a version variant; it's a statement piece in its own right.

The Futuristic Flair of Paldea

Where Scarlet leans into ancient tradition, Violet dives headfirst into sleek innovation and sci-fi-inspired visuals. From your school's uniforms to your rideable Legendary Pokémon Miraidon, everything in Violet pulses with technological energy. It feels like you're exploring a version of the Pokémon world where advancement has fused seamlessly with nature - a refreshing and exciting twist.

Open World Freedom - Reimagined

Like its counterpart, Violet lets you roam the Paldea region without restrictions. Whether you're scaling icy mountains, running through coastal cliffs, or diving into hidden caves, the world is alive with exploration opportunities. There are no level gates, no forced paths - just your instincts, your team, and your sense of adventure.

The true joy lies in doing things your way: you can take on gyms, explore the Path of Legends, or battle Team Star in any order. Freedom is the name of the game.

New Pokémon, New Perspective

The Pokémon exclusive to Violet fit the game's futuristic vibe perfectly. Standouts like Iron Valiant and Iron Hands (Paradox forms of familiar Pokémon) look like they were ripped from a high-tech laboratory - and they're just as powerful as they are visually striking.

Violet leans into mystery and time-travel science fiction more than any game in the series before it, and that shift works. It makes the story feel darker, deeper, and more thoughtful, especially as it builds toward the climax in Area Zero - one of the most jaw-dropping and unforgettable endgames in Pokémon history.

Miraidon - The Futuristic Companion

While Scarlet gives you Koraidon, a creature of raw primal energy, Violet gives you Miraidon, a sleek, jet-powered Pokémon that doubles as your high-speed ride. It soars, swims, and climbs like a dream, and its sci-fi aesthetic fits perfectly with Violet's identity.

Multiplayer and Co-Op

The multiplayer functionality in Violet makes it more than just a solo RPG. You can explore the entire map with friends, battle wild Pokémon together, or just take in the view - it's the kind of co-op play Pokémon fans have been waiting for.

Why It's a 10 out of 10

Pokémon Violet is more than a game - it's a redefinition. It doesn't just push the series forward; it reimagines what the future of Pokémon can look like. From the freedom of movement to the high-tech atmosphere and emotionally powerful story, it's one of the most ambitious entries the franchise has ever seen.

It challenges your expectations, rewards your curiosity, and stays true to the heart of Pokémon: adventure, wonder, and connection.

Final Word: Sleek, bold, and endlessly replayable, Pokémon Violet delivers an unforgettable journey through a world where science meets legend. It's a future worth chasing - and one worth remembering.

10 out of 10 - A masterpiece of innovation and imagination.

I've been a huge Nintendo fans, but by the time Pokémon came out, I was too old to play it. Now I have a 3 year old boy and 7 year old Girl, and wanted a game they could actively play and participate in. Well, they freaking love everything Pokémon and we have started to expand our Pokémon games and TV series. For a newbie, this is such a fun and easy going game to get your feet wet in such a large Pokémon universe. It certainly has some glitches, some questionable graphics (based on games like Breath of Wild), but for kids who aren't jaded by that stuff, the Pokémon are animated in a way that you can fall in love with them, and isn't that the point of the series?

This game is just way too slow for me. The beginning takes forever to just get to the point. The point is the adventure. Once you finally get to your adventure, the most unlikely and inconvenient situations happen that prevent you from proceeding with your quest. For example, there was this gym leader I had to fight to proceed but of course he ran past me cause he was in a hurry in classic anime fashion. Once I got to where he was, some random trainer that I was forced to fight was blocking the way. I simply wish everything in this game was faster- even the battling. It really drags on and never feeling satisfying once it's over. I start thinking back to the amazing fights presented in Deltarune (chapters 1 and 2) and how unexciting they are compared to it. Before I wrap this up I have to mention just how horrible the game runs. The game runs horribly, the graphics suck, the gameplay is slow, the dialogue is uninteresting, and this ultimately lead to an underwhelming and uninspired gaming experience.

Please check out my mid game review on the Pokemon Scarlett review board.

Review has been written on Decem 4 2022

During my mid game review I thought this game was excellent.

Now that I have become Pokemon League champion for the last time in my Pokemon career, what are my final thoughts of this game?

Well...

The game felt empty, easy and too simple.

For the first bit I liked the open world concept but I was vastly over leveled while exploring various areas. The last gyms I played against I was in my 60s battling 30 and below.

I prefer the previous classic ways.

The story is non-existent, childish and jokes fail to land. No child would laugh out loud at these bad jokes like the Clive guy acting like a teenager.

The final reveal was so lame and obvious while the motives behind it all was corny and childish.

The villians were not really villians. They were just people with a giant car Pokemon.

The gym tests were hash, stupid and easy.

Only the Flora test felt like a worthy test. Everything else was a waste of time. The skii test was the worse.

The tera was okay. Still hate these gimmicks. Opponents do not use any items like in previous games.

I never played much of Pokemon sword and shield. What I liked was the elite 4 and Champ battle was public to all. In Pokemon violet and Scarlett its not. It's like the old games, while you are stuck in 1 room and have to take part in a silly interview.

The E4 and Champ were easy. I swept by them with ease. 0 deaths and only 1 Pokemon in the red because I decided to max out the Sand Monsters defence instead of 2 shoting the dragon.

Also none of them use full restore or berries.

After I won my last Pokemon League You don't get a celebration or put into the Hall of Fame.

I had to spam A because of a 5 min long text scene. This game seriously needed voice overs.

As of now:

I'm not sure if I can capture the legendary bike Pokemon.

There is no in person interaction with the professors.

My single mom did not acknowledge that I won a Pokemon title. She stands in one spot not even watching tv.

Postive note: the Pokemon were enough.

Gameplay was fine. I did not experience any glitches while everyone else on YouTube has... My game worked perfectly.

I liked the way you can encounter Pokemon.

No more stocking up on repel.

Battle scenes were cool.

I liked riding on the bike Pokemon.

Overall, a weak game. There is not much to do in this game except train your Pokemon. The story was hash, corny and kiddy.

I don't understand why they give us a choice to say something and if you say something they don't like you are forced to say what they want you to say. It's pointless and stupid.

Now that I beat the Pokemon League the Nintendo Switch will be catching a lot of dust.

Anyways, thanks for reading my review.

And I hope you have a good day eventhough it won't effect me if you don't.
