Pokémon violetto

these are literally the worst games ever made

Setting aside the fact that the game is severely unfinished, it's honestly the most fun I've had in Pokemon since the more nostalgic days

If the production values and technical problems weren't a shitshow this would've been my favorite Pokemon game in years. It's too bad this series is a cash cow so the effort always feels less than it should be. But this series hasn't felt like an AAA Nintendo franchise in terms of production value since Black & White (2).

Now that the DLC is over it’s a damn shame this game doesn’t even really have a battle tower. While it was a shame gen 6 never got a 3rd version to flesh it out- I feel like XY is largely remembered for that- this game is the same issue on steroids, and it’s unfortunate the series has gone further down that path of charming but unpolished games. Hell actually, XY were *unpolished*, this feels *unfinished* even after the DLC.

Started it back in September and I couldn't play because of how awful the performance was. I just finished the main story and yeah, definitely the best Gen since XY. The ending is pretty good even by genre standards.

still very far away from the ideal open world Pokémon game we should be getting

the gap in score and reviews is certainly interesting,this is a game that before it even came out i heard people dreading
