Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are truely good steps up from other recent titles. Was really hyped for the release of these new games and was not disappointed. Now everyone has an opinion each to their own but feel free to read along anyways. Firstly I just want to address the elephant in the room; The frame rate dropping is definitely noticeable and at times it makes the game feel slow. There were points where the game felt like it was being emulated on a poor pc. But I don’t hate the game for this. Everyone is going crazy on the internet begging and spreading rumours for a switch pro so please Nintendo make it happen. For the first time, the new Pokémon games are actually proper open world titles. This is such an amazing thing for players new and old to experience. There are lots of new places to visit and challenges to complete along the way. At times you can decide whether or not to travel on foot or ride a new legendary Pokémon like a bike to traverse across the land. The choice is up to you. There is however one annoying thing when you are riding on the legendary. That being when you dash across somewhere and a random pokemons render distance appears in front of you and stops you on your path. If this was fixed then maybe I would consider not tossing the switch out of frustration (I haven’t done that yet but it remains a possibility) All jokes aside, the game has so much to do and after countless hours I am still finding new things to keep myself occupied. Thanks Nintendo for finally making an interesting title in the recent line up of switch Pokémon games. (Not hacking on previous games but like this is definitely better) The game also feels a lot harder to do battles. This is such a good thing because now battling Pokémon feels like a true challenge. I do just want to finish this review off with a good thing though. All of the extras and side characters have added emotion and feel to them which really adds to the games immersive nature.
