I enjoyed my time with this game despite its performance issues. It’s sad because I can see a good game under all of it
Scarlet has a lot of performance issues and the world looks awful graphically. Excusing that, the main story progression is probably my favourite of any 3d Pokémon game! I went straight from point A to point B and was very underlevelled during my playthrough, which actually added much appreciated challenge! The music in the game goes hard, and the story is actually compelling for the first time in a while. The new mons are interesting and so is the main cast. There is practically no postgame unfortunately, and no, DLC does not count.

First Pokemon game I've played since Red. Really fun trying to catch them all!
it's fun but it's very very rough and very very ugly
This game's great! I wish it was done!
One of the worst gaming experiences ive ever had. Literally everything in the game just felt so wrong. The "twist ending" is its only saving grace
I can't fault anyone who doesn't have the patience or the energy to play a broken game. Much less an expensive one.
I do understand that, but it's increasingly hard for me to engage with videogames by that kind of perspective. If it runs at 10fps I'll just adjust to it, if it's buggy I hope it's funny, if it's ugly then, well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Most good, interesting and ambitious ideas overshadow bad technical aspects for me and thankfully Pokémon Scarlet is good, interesting and ambitious.
I had so much fun that I can almost consider it the best in the franchise. An ode to broken games with plenty of soul.

Honestly this is dogged on too hard the bugs and lag kinda ruined the game but I still really enjoyed it
This one hurts my soul in a way because I can see all the issues with the port on Switch. It is ROUGH at times and you can see it struggling. But there was something to it that hooked me, I even completed the Pokedex, which I rarely do in these. Diamond in the rough.
honestly just Fine. the best that pokemon plots have been in a little bit. lost half a star because robot lovers and woman lovers cannot coexist if you want the pretty woman professor you have to play scarlet which is the one WITHOUT robots. i'm exploding game freak with my mind rn
i am committing a federal offense.

Scarlet/Violet is a very middling game. The core gameplay is fun, the classic Pokemon formula has been changed up enough to make it very enjoyable, especially thanks to the improvements Legends: Arceus had already introduced before. I really enjoy the open world, and no longer being limited to open zones like in Arceus. But the game has a huge array of issues, from the mobile-game-level performance and graphics, to the lack of level scaling. In the end, I prefer Legends: Arceus. I recognize that this game had a lot of potential, but it didn't really live up to it. Nonetheless, it was a mostly enjoyable experience, and I'm excited to see what the future of this series has to offer.
i was honestly amazed at the incompetence of nintendo with the polishing of their product but the exploration and battle mechanics in scarlet are soo much fun
i had 0 expectations ngl, but honestly it surprise me tbh, i had so much fun playing it, and exploring a lil bit the map, the story was pretty good (maybe my favorite from a pokemon game) and the characters were very likeables. Overall one of my fav Pokemon games.
A great step for Pokémon: open world, pick-your-path style adventure, multiplayer where players can do whatever alone or together. The problem is the technical performance of the game that never got fixed. Laggy and janky animations that makes the game look really unfinished at a close look.
great step for pokemon in terms of design
poorly optimised

Enjoyable, but damn is it rough.

The worst Pokemon game ever made. Pokemon is my favorite franchise, and it makes me really sad to see this game. As of right now, it is the only Pokemon game I haven't finished, because I actually can't get through this one. I really hope the next game is better, and they actually take their time to make it instead of pumping a new game out every single year.
I love Pokemon and this is the most ambitious one yet. I didn't have game breaking bugs like others are reporting but I did have major performance issues and it looks like rubbish. I just wish Pokemon could figure it all out because the Switch era has actually been great for variety.
i played this game way after release, emulated, so i didn't really have technical issues too often. the game was a near steady 4k 30fps, so I can't speak to how the game launched. but oh my god, this game was so fun. the most fun pokemon experience i've since x and y (haven't played arceus yet) i love the mix of classic pokemon progression with a more open world. area zero was really cool and i liked seeing the story take some weird turns that i wasn't expecting. but please add voice acting, especially if you're gonna animate the scenes like there is. overall, a little janky, but i didn't have many issues that people dealt with on launch. this game was honestly such a joy, i was just happy to play a pokemon game.
Polish aside this is the best pokemon since black and white.
divertidinho mas mt bugado no switch pro tristeza :///
se nao fossem os erros tecnicos seria um dos melhores jogos de pokemon ja feito,só que eu nao consegui ingnorar,na minha experiencia os bugs estragaram
Although the graphic bugs appear very often, the game itself is a very good game. I've played Pokémon since Crystal edition and this is one my favorites along with Crystal and Emerald. It's fun to play, bring new features and has a lot of things to do. When completed, the shiny hunt is funnier than ever.
Yes I know this game is a buggy mess. Still loves it though
I find this game to be extremely difficult to rank. The core gameplay loop is handled so well and the final section of the game is among the best writing the series has had, but it's held back by what is aside from that final section a bland story with (mostly) bland characters, towns acting as nothing more than set pieces, ugly graphics, poor level balancing/scaling, and some QoL step-backs from Legends: Arceus. And that's not to mention the elephant in the room, the worst offender of them all: the performance. Oh my god it's so bad. Every time I go back to this game and boot it up I just internally go "UGH!". This game is so paradoxically fun and unfun at the same time. This could have been one of the best Pokémon games were it given the development time it deserved.
