    Pokemon games continue to get better part 2

    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.

    HARD PASS

    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...

    A good game despite obvious issues.

    Okay, so I got this game a couple of weeks after it released, and needless to say, it's a pretty divisive one. Some people love it, some people hate it. So let's unpack my opinion on the game by looking at the good and the bad in the game.

    THE QUALITIES:

    -A fun fighting system. It's the same type of fighting system as in other Pokémon games, but it gets the job done and it remains fun to play, especially within more competitive & strategic battles.

    -The Terastal mechanic is a really cool one that changes a lot of aspects of Pokémon strategy.

    -Farming in this game is really satisfying, especially when you're trying to win a specific Terastal Raid.

    -The story is actually cool to follow with some tearjerker moments.

    -The new Pokémon are mostly really cool with inspired designs. I'd especially mention Quaquaval, Miraidon, Ceruledge, Spidops, Garganacl, Scovillain, or Ogerpon.

    -The lore is pretty good, with some cool world building elements, especially when it comes to the cities. That was always a good quality of the Pokémon franchise in general.

    -The soundtrack is varied and cool, with a lot of epic battle themes.

    THE FLAWS: -Let's get the obvious one out of the way: the graphics. Even on Switch 2, they're pretty ugly to look at. The worst graphic issues have been corrected by that little improvement with Nintendo's new console, but it's still a far cry from what Switch games like Kirby and the Forgotten Land or Super Mario Odyssey can do.

    -The difficulty straight up doesn't exist. I got through the endgame with an underleveled team and still didn't struggle at all. There are some spikes of difficulty in the second DLC, but nothing extraordinary.

    -Technical issues can really be annoying. Visual glitches can often take you out of the experiences and crashes are frustrating too because of how often they can happen.

    -After a few hours, the game becomes a bit repetitive, which kind of lowers its replay value, even though the vast majority of Pokémon games kind of share this flaw.

    CONCLUSION: So I'm not pretending to be objective: everyone's entitled to their own opinion and there's no definitive objective opinion in art (except when you're promoting harmful values, of course). But in spite of flaws that prevent that game to reach the standards of Kirby an the Forgotten Land or Super Mario Party Jamboree, I'd still say this game is really good. Some flaws like the lack of difficulty can make the experience a bit less enjoyable.

    But overall, I'd still say this game is really fun, and during my experience, the good clearly outweighed the bad.

    So in conclusion, I think this game deserves an 8/10.

    Back to the World of Pokémon!

    This is the most fun I've had on a Pokémon game in a long time. I'm a millennial who has been playing since the debut of Pokémon Red, Blue, and Yellow. Yellow and Silver were my top two favorites, and then it slowly felt like Pokémon deteriorated bit by bit. With Pokémon Violet, it finally feels as though we're taken back into the world of Pokémon with full immersion. Open world, there's Pokémon all over the place (it GENUINELY feels like you're really there! They don't just pop up unknowingly). You can change your Pokémon's nickname right then and there (no need to go to a name relearner whom you can't meet until hours into the game) if you nicknamed your Pokémon something you don't like. TMs aren't a free for all anymore (they're single use again, which makes it feel more special when you're deciding which Pokémon to teach a move), BUT, not only can you find multiple of the same TMs in the world, but you can also CRAFT them. Your Pokémon storage boxes are RIGHT with you on your Rotom! So you don't need to go to a Pokémon Center and go through the whole process of withdrawing, depositing, and moving them. The graphics are great! The movement of the grass and the water and the trees. *chef's kiss* everything is just beautiful. Your character movement looks slightly clunky in the very beginning when you're walking around in your house, but that's it. I'm having an absolute blast on this game and it successfully provides nostalgia and perfect enhancement in one. 100% recommend!

    First Pokémon Game, Dad of 2 young kids

    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?
