Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are an Embarrassment of epic proportions. Not only are they suffering from massive technical problems, but a great vision under a rushed deadline. The games are extremely unpolished and bad by Pokemon standards and the open-world is a lifeless, empty husk. But what redeeming qualities do the games have?

"Don't defend it, you deserve better." Wise words.

It genuinely looks like one of those homemade Unity games somebody made within a month.

As someone who lived in Spain when these games released, they don't capture the beauty or vibes of Spain at all. There could've been an olive farm in the olive fields where you could battle trainers for olive oil that could do something for your Pokémon. There could've been these big bridges connecting canals. There could've been a city split into the old section history-filled section and a new modern section. I can't speak on regions in Spain outside of Andalusia but that just speaks to how much wasted potential there was in the whole region. Now the DLC is based in Japan and The Ocean (??) and there's not going to be any more additions to this area I'd love to see represented. It sucks.

It's absolutely insane how they took everything people hated about Sword and Shield and then decided to crank all of that shit up to 100 in Scarlet and Violet

It's weird how the bad guys you encounter constantly in PokĂ©mon have devolved from companies trying to dominate the world to bad guys that you find in places with a lot of graffiti and now theyâre school bullies
(I gotta explain something, Iâm mad that theyâre school bullies that arenât menacing Iâm not mad about the storytelling)

The Pokemon fanbase is the epitome of toxic positivity. Every year they get fed these mediocre games, and anyone who criticizes them gets shamed and ridiculed.

Replacing Gyms with shitass minigames was the biggest crime to me. The Gyms give the games their personality if nothing else does, you always remember what the Gyms look like. How dare they

It always baffles me that pokemon a multi billion dollar company cant make a full polished game

One frustrating detail is how you have to constantly wait for NPCs to go through stupid animations to get through a conversation. Theyâll say one line and then do a six-second animation. Fast text speed doesnât matter because of the amount of interruptions

The quote of âdonât defend it, you deserve betterâ is the description of me leaving so many fandoms lately.

It continues to amaze me that this is literally one of the highest grossing intellectual properties of all time, and they can't do better with our money.

Black and white 2 was the pinnacle of pokemon. Everything was, if not damn near, perfect

They wonât pay for voice acting but theyâll pay Ed Sheeran to do an end credit song.
I was so pissed when I found out.

Remember all those cool optional dungeons in Hoenn and Sinnoh? The Wrecked Ship between Dewford and Slateport, New Mauville, Shoal Cave, Sky Pillar with freaking Rayquaza on top, Mirage Island, the Sealed Chamber to unlock the Regi Trio Caves, the Old Chateau, all the hidden caves in Meteor Falls and Mount Coronet...
Remember how badass you felt when you discovered how to catch the Regis, Rayquaza or just found a new optional dungeon with some cool exclusive items and pokemon?
Well in 2023 GameFreak can't even be bothered to create working cities, let alone "optional dungeons"

The saddest part is that there's echoes of a good game in there. The battle music is, as always, pretty good. The final sequence with Area Zero gave a proper sense of exploration and mystery (that imo the main part of the game didn't live up to). Most of the new designs are pretty good. Nemona does the "friendly rival" concept perfectly, giving you a proper challenge and being excited for how both of you are getting stronger. The fact that the sparkles and particle effects from Tera attacks aren't causing major lag on the switch is commendable.
I want to defend this game, I really do. I can see the good concepts hidden beneath the poorly executed crust. But I can't in good conscience recommend this game. The open world was something we all requested, but it shows it destroys challenge and level design. Having a free camera during battles forced them to oversimplify animations (just compare Brave Bird in Gen 6 to Gen 9). The bugs, glitches, and lag are frankly inexcusable. And sure, I'll throw in the dead horse of the National Dexit.

Who here after Palworld came out?

Here is Game Freaks biggest problem for me. They continually keep pandering to younger and younger audience with every release. They forgot that the people that contributed to this being a global success are now in their 30s and late 20's. It's quite ironic because the first three generations in the series didn't feel like that at all.

Tbh I'd have no issue going back to pixel graphics in return of a actual interesting, open world with solid Pokémon sprites and animations.

Game Freak employees also deserve better, their job satisfaction reviews are rather dire.
Props to Gireum Red for that sad revelation.
