The worst Pokemon game so far. The quality has degraded rapidly, and I gave it so many chances while playing it. My last game was X and Y, which was fantastic, but this is worse than even buggy games I've played from small indie studios who were a little green to game design. The company really has no excuse for this. I don't even mind bugs in a game if it's obvious they've tried their best and put love into their product. Instead it's obvious it was rushed for profit. There's no soul in the game left, so I'll no longer be purchasing future Pokemon games in the foreseeable future. Try out other monster catching games from studios who clearly love what they do, and you won't be able to stomach this any longer. Monster Hunter Stories and Temtem is where I'm going next, and they've impressed me much further than Violet.

Just thinking about the amount of manpower to make this game a reality makes me want to puke or have a stroke. It's jaw droppingly good, especially if you enjoy story, characters, and open world rpg. I'm not sure how Ubisoft is going to top this one aside from lowering the amount of glitches that occur and expanding the romantic characters more than just a quick fling (like dragon age). This game had two scenes that really touched me and several scenarios where I was forced to make uncomfortable morally difficult decisions. Mad respect.
