The Good and Bad of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet

Now that we're on the topic of Pokémon, I'd love to see Nathaniel watch and rank every single episode of the anime and the movies like he did with SpongeBob and now's a perfect time with the announcement that Ash will be leaving next year.

[@WitherofEarth]

that skit at the end is just way too accurate oh my god also the reaspn scvi doesn't have some of the features legends arceus did is because, as far as I'm aware at least, both games started development at the same time, so logically they couldn't have known which features to keep and which features to remove. sure being able to catch pokémon without starting a battle would be nice, but given this context, i get why that idea wasn't incldued in scvi

[@Kittynelson4]

I genuinely thought the games were pretty good you can see the love and effort put into the game but like ur end credits screen shows they don’t have enough time to be pumping out games legends was releced 8months ago and then BDSP was realsed 12 months ago following covid. The devs are clearly working pretty hard I just thing game freak is trying to pump as much game out as posssible rather than quality.

[@splattygaming1615]

BDSP wasn't developed by Gamefreak

[@Daan_Knobbout]

@@splattygaming1615 It speaks volumes that they WANTED to make Legends, but couldn't deviate from the ''new gen every 3 years'' imposed by The Pokémon Company and it's shareholders. Developed side by side. Buy Legends, don't buy this.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

I loved the game, but most of its issues could be solved simply by giving the devs more time to polish it on a technical level. That's basically all that's missing from this.

[@annedrieck7316]

@@heavydonkeykong5190 if u gave gamefreak more time. They gonna use that time for another game that somewhat ties to another game. Why waste time doing one game when u can make 2 or even 3 games. Its becomes crystal clear thats how they gonna be going forward. If you want pokemon games to be great again dont buy any games that was produced by gamefreak period. But if u still craving those ps2 quality graphics and cut corners then preorder their games and have fun wasting 60$.

[@heavydonkeykong5190]

@@annedrieck7316 I'm not saying game freak is making good decisions (and even then, it could be higher ups and not the devs themselves) but I loved Pokemon Violet despite the technical performances (which thankfully never went beyond minor annoyances in my playthrough). I didn't waste any money.

The fact this game was brave enough to talk about vtubers is quite hilarious, game freak be way different from back then

[@brunolike8631]

So, we here in Latin America and Portugal wanted the games to be translated to portuguese and latin spanish, we even made an moviment that got pretty big just to make pokemon company translate the games. And their response was an "Nah. Good luck next time"

[@cheatcode436]

So the game that takes place in a region inspired by Spain and Portugal... don't get translated into Spanish and Portuguese. That's one of the dumbest things that have happened in my life so far. They're basically telling you guys that you can't enjoy the game based off of your country in your native language. It's almost hilarious. They really don't care, do they?

The Animated segment was an interesting switch up which I liked. I wish that scarlet and violet was more polished to be honest.

[@TheGravityShifter]

What's worse is that IIRC, the storm effects were actually fixed in Gen V. The effects were very quick and you didn't need to see the storm loop every single turn it was there. That game to this day is still the fastest paced Pokemon Generation which is very sad. Btw that ending skit is perfect and I can imagine that exactly happening.

A gripe I have with the game is that there's only Paldean forms for just two Pokemon. Also, Dunsparce got stiffed with it's evolution. On the bright side, I really like how we're just riding a Legendary, Iono's design and everything about Arven.

[@crowfather0249]

Careful. If you say anything negative about Dudunsparce, the fanboys will dog pile you with comments about how Dunsparce is perfect, so more Dunsparce is a great evolution for it or how Dunsparce is just a joke pokemon, so it's your fault for expecting it to have a cool, fearsome evolution.

It is pretty logical you can't just throw a Pokeball and catch the Pokemon without fighting. Legends Arceus was focused on catching and completing the Pokedex so it would be tedious to fight every Pokemon, but this isn't a problem anymore so this was removed

[@RedSupernova64]

The ending should have included the real reason why Game Freak can't delay their games, the ties to releasing the merchandise, trading cards and TV shows simultaneously. And despite being the most profitable franchise on the planet, The Pokémon Company believes they'll lose ALL of their money if they are unable to make the "deadlines" with the other companies and TV networks that will be distributing their content. When will TPC learn that they can afford a slow year for once?

[@koolkat117]

Bro the switch is based off of what controllers you have on your switch 💀

[@a9ollo653]

I think the reason they took out some stuff from Legends: Arceus is because they might be making the Pokémon Legends thing a sub series, with running in battle and throwing pokeballs at wild Pokémon being series specific, but that’s just my guess. Take it with a grain of salt.
