Shadow Joker

Played on Switch 1 The game is a great time to play, the gameplay is fun tho doesn't seem like it at first with how low level the powerlevel of the game is at the start. Making the whole dodge everything and make ya pokemon dodge by moving feel bad and poorly designed. Tho for the most part the gameplay is a great time once ya starting fighting harder fights around the time ya get mega Evolution, after that everything ramps up nicely. [Gameplay: 8/10] In terms of story, though somethings stand out as odd with a loanshark being the good guy since its not real life works, doesn't mean its not a bad thing since its not a surprise to see a thing like this in Anime and manga. Why ya there in lumiose in the first place like even as a tourist, ya don't get why your character wanted to come in the 1st place. And also (SPOILER FOR NEAR END OF THE MSQ) Tho Team Flare comes back as I say this in " ", team flares backstory and lore that we felt like we would get more of is nothing like the game hyped it up to be with only crumbs of of new info was given and that's it. However Overall, the Story is a Great time and the Paceing feels smooth and not that bumpy except for some minor hiccups as ive said above. [Story: 9/10] As i said above, played this on Switch 1. So now we talk about graphics, in terms of it its decent for pokemon finally back up close to the level we had before in games like sun/moon and ultra sun/moon along with Legend Arceus! As since with scarlet and violet, thos grphics got bumped down to the how big the open world is, yes their is still popping in of Npc's and pokemon in the city. Does this happen in the Wild Zones, no since the each area has set pokemon spawns it means if ya not in it or near a wild zone. No pokemon spawn and the game runs fine! Yes the graphics of buildings is like a like a high-schooler in art class drew stuff and slapped it onto a building shaped box, is that good no! Does it do the job, yeah it does. The lack of buildings that we can go in is still annoying and stupid along with balconies both being 2d pngs even tho it was their in 3D in the gen 6 titles of X and Y is still disappointing. [Graphics and stuff: 5/10] In terms of Sound a music, its a great time as usual with pokemon. Battle themes are a bop, with the Soundesign and music enhancing the game and making an joy to play. No other notes! [Sounds and music: 9.5/10] Other; The fact we still have no voicing acting in these pokemon games is still annoying as all hell considering the amount of money thr pokemon Franchise actually makes. [Overall score: 9/10]
