Nah, even beyond the performance issues the game has its problems. That being said PROS decent story Pokémon themselves have never looked better Love being able to access boxes at any time Really easy to get good IV Pokémon and ev train them CONS most boring region of all time. Just a big wide space with absolutely nothing in it. NPC’s have never been this useless, not even a single one has anything interesting to say. Towns are soulless and forgettable like the rest of the region Fighting the enemy team is lame and a chore While I appreciate the fact that raids give you a lot of items and goodies, often times raids suck. They’re incredibly slow and buggy, and the online service is so unreliable often trying to join a raid will just get you stuck for a minute just so the game can tell you that you failed to join.

Pokémon is the most successful franchise in the history of entertainment and therefore it needs to be held to a higher standard than it currently is. The Pokémon Company and Game Freak need to quit being so lazy. Generally speaking, they've been taking the easy route and doing the bare minimum with their games, because they know people are going to buy them anyway.

[@nickolasaday2257]

It's not 100% their fault, we have to take into account the hardware they are using, the switch is built off of a 2013 phone processor. It's weaker than the base PS4 that came out in 2013. Even though it was released in 2017. I think they need to come up with ideas while waiting for new hardware

[@thecooljohn100]

It is literally just a blatan, ignorant, lie to say that they are doing the bare minimum. A lot of people really like their recent games, THIS VIDEO as proof, although you may not have watched before leaving a hate comment.... Look up the reviews of all the pokemon games for the Switch, there aren't that many mainline games, quite a few fun spinoffs though. If you actually cared enough to have an accurate opinion, then you should go watch those reviews. You'll see there's a lot of nuance you're ignoring.

[@nickolasaday2257]

@@thecooljohn100 don't think his comment was hateful? Lots of people agree that the company needs to put in more effort. Can't always go off other people's opinions, have to formulate your own at some point. I personally think the games could be much better. Arceus was ok, but the bosses were laughably bad

[@rushpatriot2866]

Its the fans. They don't hold anything to a standard they're similar to Disney adults it's more of a cult than a fan base they'll meat ride Pokemon no matter how bad it gets and that'll bring down the quality more and more. Until they can use their brain don't expect it to get better

[@matt2d2007]

It's best for gamefreak to keep the mainline-remakes mechanics separate from legends mechanics. so we can keep getting two different games.

[@JamaTheGamer]

Problem is with that we could end up with rushed games with missing features and performance issues because half the resources a split between 2 projects with deadlines

[@sammoon7897]

Completely disagree. This is the biggest franchise in the world, they should be aspiring to make games that compete with Zelda, Mario and other incredible Nintendo titles. That means the games should do everything Legends and the mainline games do, all in one, and do it all well. Imagine a game where the catching and world was like that in PLA, but with deep and compelling battling/gym challenges. That shit would be sick. This is not too much to ask from a literal multi billion dollar company

[@JamaTheGamer]

@@sammoon7897 that’s the dream and they should do that. I just don’t think they will because of strict deadlines

[@RG-Zeldaplayer]

My feeling with Scarlet and Violet is that they tried to do too much... They were experimenting with S/V and it didn't fully pay off... The Switch can handle open world games fine - but games like breath of the wild aren't filled with hundreds of wild animals running around at all times - and it hides its technical limitations well... Legends Arceus kept its open areas seperate and hidden behind load screens - which to me was a far better way to do things on the Switch's hardware. I feel like S/V would have been better to wait for the next gen. I played at launch and the only time I noticed bugs was when fighting on a slope occassionally you'd have your pokemon floating in the air rather than standing on the ground... that and the pop in of textures and the frame rate dips - Apparently moving the game to the system memory - rather than playing off an SD card helps improve things.

[@KhriZippy]

This. BotW and TotK not having too many animals paid off big by mixing technical limitations and lore to back it up.

[@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfo]

How do you know if a game is saved on an sd card and can it be moved especially with pokemon without losing your data?

[@RG-Zeldaplayer]

Go into the system settings on your switch and under data management there's an option to move data between console/microSD card. You can do this without affecting save data... I may be wrong but I think pokemon save data always saves to the console's internal memory to avoid save swapping and sharing via SD cards... but the game itself can be stored on either.

[@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfo]

@@RG-Zeldaplayer thanks. Can you also move your data that already exists to the console if it is on the sd card too at anytime?

[@RG-Zeldaplayer]

@@Friendly_Neigborhood_Astolfo So long as there's room on the internal storage you can move any game from the SD card to it or from the internal storage to the SD card at any time. Save data is always saved to the internal memory though, no matter where the games themselves are stored.

[@federicomoraholguin5878]

the game has these issues 1- bugs everywhere (likely even bugs that delete your save file) 2- missing pokemon (this will become common in the franchise) 3- poorly rendered terrain and background

[@DuyuCoyote]

Would really appreciate another classic top-down pokemon honestly.

[@nickolasaday2257]

That's what the remasters are for. I want them to push more into 3D while keeping elements they know people enjoy and tuning back ones that we don't. And wait for new hardware, the switch is a skeleton at this point.

[@diegoferreira1210]

I grew out of pokemon a long time ago, but contrary to all reason I find myself eager wanting to play this one. The problem is that, if it turns out to be a mistake, it will be a really pricey one.

I came back to it with zelda edition oled switch, zelda totk and pokemon violet. I do not regret it one bit despite performance issues in pokemon.

[@Br0m4n]

Scarlet and Violet are my favourite Pokemon Games (besides Legends Arceus) by a landslide. While I like a lot of Pokemon designs of the older generations. I really came to hate the sprite based games and I never finished but also lost my copy of Sapphire around 21 years ago. I just wished for 3D games and them being meatier and more open. My next game in the franchise was White2 (belonging to my younger brother) which I played around 10 years ago I can barely remember any of it but I know I hated all starter mons so much that I just threw mine into the box and used an Arcanine as my main instead. I did beat the Elite 4 but couldn't be bothered with any post game content. I borrowed Pokemon X from a friend which has one of my favourite starter mon with Fennekin. but the overall gameplay was pretty meh. I played the first 15 mins of Sun on Emulator but dropped it. Played Shield on Emulator and I didn't hate it that much there still was annoying stuff but we were getting there. Legends Arceus was the first Pokemon game I bought since Sapphire and I loved it I had so much fun with the game which was the reason I pre-ordered Violet (picked because of Ceruledge). Violet is my most played Switch Game with 270h which is more then double my second most played game Mario Kart 8 (Legends Arceus has 90h TotK 85 and BotW 80)

[@RG-Zeldaplayer]

It's worth remembering that Scarlet and Violet and Legends Arceus were developed at the same time. Arceus came out of the company's experimentation with implementing an open world into S/V. Arceus released first - primarily because its a much smaller game and so development finished faster - but also because it tied into the remakes of Diamond and Pearl, that had released previously, and wasn't introducing any Gen 9 creatures. The game has about half of the pokemon species that appear in the base game of S/V - so it has a much greater focus on the real time battling systems. S/V were too far along in development to really capitalise on the successes of L:A... but I would bet that gen 10 development is looking VERY closely at bringing across what worked in L:A into an open world like S/V.

[@JamaTheGamer]

I agree, both SV and PLA seemed like experiments and it feels like SV suffered a lot more because of it, as you mentioned the scope was too much. Probably down to having less resources, aging hardware and poor optimisation. I’d imagine that Gen 10 will get the best of both games so I stay hopeful

[@RG-Zeldaplayer]

@@JamaTheGamer It's the Zelda influence. When BoTW launched everyone became excited about a pokemon game in that sort of world. Sw/Sh dipped its toe into that water - but it had already been in development when BoTW launched. The thing about Zelda though is that it's world is largely empty... There aren't always a lot of NPCs or enemies to render on screen - and they generally only appear in small groups when they do... Compare to Pokemon where that world has to be teeming with life - Pokemon and trainers literally everywhere... It's obviously going to have an impact on performance. kitikami and the blueberry academy are noticeably smaller areas - and the performance in both seems much better as a result. Paldea is just too big with too many things to render in it for the hardware.

[@JamaTheGamer]

@@RG-Zeldaplayer yeah BOTW has been a big influence for sure. Zelda also wasn’t released until they were absolutely ready though, whereas Pokemon is held hostage by this 3 year release schedule. Pokemon is a victim of its own success in a way

In my opinion Scarlet and Violet was always one of the best game if not THE best. I only had 1 or 2 crashes, which sure doesn’t usually happen and shouldn’t. But with auto save it doesn’t cause any issues, so honestly don’t get the sentiment of this game having a lot of glitches. Other than that I see no flaws, Amazing new Pokémon, Open structure (which can cause level problems but it’s pretty clear when your under leveled for stuff.) Big world with lots of exploration, Amazing and I mean AMAZING story especially in post game, 3 different story arch’s, Allowing Pokémon out of pokeballs, Sandwhiches making finding certain types of Pokémon and shinies more easy to find. I absolutely loved this game when I first got it around a month after launch and the pros outweigh the cons by 1000 tons, and I don’t understand how people hated it, I feel like fans of Pokémon for whatever reason gravitative more to the older games, specifically the gba and ds games, and are less welcoming to new games, but idk, I might just have a dumb filthy casual opinion.

I mean as always pokemon has pros and cons but since the switch era the mainline suffers from too much stuff added but useless The pros of SV the same with other pokemon: Great story (not ground breaking but its still fun to tag along), great music pokemon never fails with how hype their music was and SV is no exception, battling system pokemon always have one of the best battling system and tera is very much better than Z or Dynamax, the texture on the mons is also really nice added more into it Now the cons as a lot of badly integrated switch game it has performance issue, a lot of performance issue, if pokemon is in PC we wpuld already have MHW level pokemon game by now but nintendo have a chokehold on pokemon so no chance, as I said they wanna do alot but its ultimately useless I like how more open it is but they ended up to barren and the world actually feels empty, online is always a problem because nintendo always tried to make their own internet which is very bad with raids. Can they improve? Yes and they have to improve, my hope is that switch 2 will fix a lot of performance issue and pokemon ZA will be integratted far better than SV since they seems to take the time now and slowly releasing the game, which will be after the switch 2 launch (since they have a lot of good idea in SV compare to SW just execute very poorly).

The robot Pokémon like iron bundle and that vacuum Pokémon are the least creative Pokémon concepts I’ve seen plenty of fan art to know creating new Pokemon that are unique can be done. PLEASE ADD VOICE ACTORS IM TIRED OF READING A MID STORY Team Star was terrible The gym battles were so weird (emotional spectrum test I’m looking at you….) Nemona… perfect battle partner. Arven… is not bad The frame rate issues are garbage Open world was nice but they need to spread out the Pokémon more. I was tired of seeing that pig everywhere I go. Terra is very cool and unique but why the giant hat that shows the type? Kinda goofy Oh and I love the regional variation Pokemon they need to keep doing that…. Hissuan Growlithe chefs kiss. The immersion for me wasn’t 100% Hopefully next time they do better.. scarlet and violet was weird and didn’t mesh together well though the open world Pokemon world was really fun to explore.

Yeah the robot parent thing is a bit weird still and I hate that the legendary is reduced to basically being a HM slave. Voice Actors are 100% needed to elevate the story man, a lot of the cutscenes felt off because of it. It was okay not having VAs in the pixel era but in this 3D era it hurts the game.

The most simple way I can break it down is some of the best characters and story in Pokemon games, a fun open world, and ass performance/graphics. I agree the end to the story could have been a little better, I didn’t mind it too much. for a Pokémon game the story was actually good and somewhat emotions at points where compared to games like sword and shield which I literally can’t remember the story. I 100% agree on voice actors to, I think the robot scene even wouldn’t have been as awkward if you could hear the emotion in Arvens voice as he figured out his dad (played violet) is dead.

the games look and run terrible, yes. But god damn are Scarlet and Violet some of the most fun pokemon games we've gotten in a long long time, and thats what brings the attention. I agree, Scarlet and Violets launch was frankly, an absolute disaster, but holding Gamefreak to a higher standard won't change anything, it's getting nintendo to stop ordering gamefreak to shill out garbage to players. You can see the effort and passion put into these games by how fun they are, but Nintendos poor handling of the pokemon company is what is seriously holding the games back.

@@farlow1798 It's just so weird when Nintendo releases are generaly quality over quantity. Just seems very strange that Pokemon of all things is handled like this. Sure it'll make guaranteed money but making a good 'pokemon' game would be way better and while most likely sell way more and generate more goodwill for the future. Maybe it's the switch that is the problem with it's limited hardware. It's just a mystery to me when they squander a golden gooze like this.

I feel like it’s a combination of many different things Pokémon is soo successful, Nintendo and the pokemon company want a release every 2-3 years. This leads to poor performance as they don’t get nearly enough time to polish and optimise in an industry which game dev is taking longer on general. Scarlet and Violet is a really fun game and because of that, the fan base have allowed this mess to slip through this time. I don’t think the fan base will accept it happening a second time. The switch hardware is dated and they’re probably pushing the system to its limits.

@@farlow1798Nintendo may have helped to confound The Pokemon Company, but they aren’t in charge of it. TPC is their own thing that also calls the shots for the franchise. Christ- it’s insulting how so many fans don’t seem to get how ownership of this franchise works and why TPC is easily the true villain of this story.

@@JamaTheGamerNintendo doesn’t call the shots for when Pokemon games get released. They just hold the rights to publishing games. Also, the actual reason is that TPC needs GF to keep pumping games out so they can make their money from what actually makes them the biggest franchise ever: merchandise, the anime, and the card game.
