Pokemon Scarlet & Violet (Switch) (November 18, 2022)
- Thread starter Lucky Millionaire
- Start date
Its good and bad
Good
Most ambitious main series Pokemon game since Black/White
Nice big world that encourages exploring
being able to traverse anywhere once you upgrade your legendary pokemon
Nice story with Arven/his pokemon, and his dad.
Likable gym leaders with personality
Non linear. there is a path you should follow but there's 3 main campaigns you can mix and match and tackle in whatever order you want
Some cool new pokemon designs, I like the paradox pokemon especially
Nice areas to look at while grinding such as the Zero area.
finally have a controllable rotating camera in battle.
they cut out a lot of the grindy bullshyt, especially with relearning old moves
soundtrack is wavy, this is something pokemons always excelled at and its no different here.
Drop in co op. finally explore the world in full with a friend(not restricted like previous co op in pokemon)
Bad
Less character item customization than previous games
No proper scaling so while u can tackle whatever you want, u can end up OP if u hit harder stuff early
Technical issues. pop in, frame rate shyts the bed, characters glitching into weird animations(was battling an Iron Treads today and it kept turning big and small during the battle. gave me a jump scare when it started. aint crashed but have read others have. this is the games largest sin.
Graphics. while there are some nice designs to characters and environments, this aint all that graphically, which makes the technical issues more frustrating.
Cities feel small. to add to the smallness, many of the buildings cant be entered.
while the main cast is great, many of the regular NPC's aren't interesting like previous games. lack personality.
Needs a better post game. something beyond filling the dex and re-battling gym leaders.

On Ryujinx it runs fine. Haven’t had any issues besides some graphical issue with a character. Looks clean in 4K.
This shyt piff lmao

Baby baybee baybee UUUGH
This tech breakdown makes the shyt look like a wii game. What's the story behind the budget of this game? this seems way below nintendo's usual standards.
I think if they took a couple years off and gave them a Zelda level budget so they could hire double or triple the staff, the next game could look much better.

it aint Nintendo, its game freak. they def rushed during QA to ship this in time for the holidays. more demanding games have been shown to run smooth on the Switch, no hardware excuse for these guys.
I’m not going to spoil it but this maybe the best ending in a Pokémon game. I did not expect the twist.
somebody tried to gift me this game but i said no. Everytime i look at footage im just like 
plus i still havent played Arceus which looks good to me. I enjoyed Pokemon Let's Go. Maybe by Christmas I'll turn around but this joint look ASS

its not even remotely close to bad enough, to be turned down for free. even if it was actually a bad gamesomebody tried to gift me this game but i said no. Everytime i look at footage im just like

Nah, you trolling, this can't be real.
Sooo I finally got my hacked switch up to date and am playing the game.
I’m at the light house currently. Seems like the core of the game is the same as the OGs, which makes jumpin in pretty easy.
Is my nikka mewtwo in this?

yea its a way more natural progression of the series than sword/shield was
and no, no mewtwo yet
then the girl of your dreams kissed you and everybody stood up on the bus and clapped.
i mean if im not gonna enjoy playing it why would i have someone spend money on it? plus they want to go through the co op stuff so i have to commit to playing. maybe if i didnt have a backlog.
edit:
uh huh... you must be the type to sit around playing Gotham Knights in pain cause you didnt wanna let your homies down
