Scarlet/Violet is still better in terms of almost everything: exploration, gameplay, world design, story... Aside from countless technical issues, the word design is rudimentary. The environments are sparse and repetitive, comprising mostly of cheaply autogenerated landscapes. The gameplay is basic and a hashed down, copy and pasted version of previous games. I can understand praising the story, but the lifeless, cheap animations and dull text boxes don't make the story engaging. Modern Pokemon games are an embarrassment and are far behind what should be acceptable. Consumers need to stop lying to themselves and enabling these companies to continue churning out these rushed, unfinished, and poor quality games.

Heldenzeit Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I mean, the better games won BUT they still deserved to flop for the atrocious state they released them in. All this time later and nothing has changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pop Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I loved playing this game reality all its flaws. I hope Nintendo one day gives us a Pokemon game like this with a normal development time so the game isn’t an ugly looking bugfest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATRL Moderator Ampersand13 Posted May 9, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted May 9, 2023 I haven’t touched it in months after beating the main story. I’m not someone to really get that annoyed by glitches, and I literally grew up on Pokemon but I just could never fully get into Violet. I liked my team and the story enough to see it through but have no desire to explore or do anything else with it I’ll be perched for whatever they come up with next though, I’ll always love Pokemon.

Trash Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 I feel like I’m the only one who didn’t get glitches? I enjoyed this game a lot, but I haven’t touched it since completing the OG pokedex, I know there have been several new additions, I’ll undust it again when the DLC drops.

Fevesy Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 It was a cute game and the open-world idea was a childhood dream but from a technical point of view, the game was an embarrassment. The world is copy + pasted for the most part and the FPS is dreadful. I am happy that the franchise sees continued success almost 30 years later however we need them to step it up majorly.
