It all started with the gameboy black and white where you needed double AA batteries. Now I'll be retiring from the Pokemon scene.
Pokemon Violet and Scarlett is where it ends. It started with colour (Pokemon red) and its about to end in colour Pokemon Scarlett. How about that!
I am writing this review on Novo 20 2022.
About: A kid with a single mom gets a pet and most battle other animals and people with animals and become The Pokemon Champion of the region.
Story and production: so far the story is somewhat the same as past games. However now the kid is in school going on a Pokemon journey.
Honestly I don't read all texts because it gets boring after a while. That being said there still are no voice overs and I find that unacceptable. How hard is it to hire someone for 15 bucks to voice this game? There are many desperate people out there. No more text reading. My finger can't spam A much longer.
The graphics are fine. Animation is not the best but it's a step in the right direction for Pokemon. An example is the walking looks goofy.
Pokemon will disappear if you save the game or switch Pokemon order.
It's a highly easy game. Exp share after many complaints are still back and permanent. Catching Pokemon has never been so easy. On average it takes 1 Poke ball toss to catch a poker monster.
Trainers still only use an average of 1 Pokemon vs you with 6.
They also still have dumb grunts.
Your rival is a strong tall female. Yay! It also still has another loser Ally in your group.
The game is more like an open field than open world. When you enter shops you right away get a menu. It's not like Sun and Moon where you can actually enter and walk around a shop. Nope. You enter and there is a menu pushed in your face.
There are many buildings you can't enter.
There are tons of The NPCs that you can't interact with. When you stop near them and press A they don't turn and say anything to you. Instead for some it will show a bubble on top of their body with texts.
NPCs don't ini battle anymore. Remember in past games when you tried to dodge NPCs and when they spotted you you had to battle them. Now that's gone and it's lame. I liked trying to dodge them and having them challenge me.
The quick battles are very useful. Sometimes makes me feel like I'm bullying the pocket monsters because I can beat 10 Pokemon in 1 minute.
Items randomly pop around which is cool. Though no more neat sound effects when you pick up an item or a TM.
One funny nugget you can attempt suicide with your NPC by jumping off buildings and cliffs and not RIP.
The gimmick they use is called terastallize. It's like a pixalalited mega form. It looks ugly and makes you slightly OP. I don't like Megas, Gigantamax, z moves or terastallize etc because they make the game unbalanced and hash.
Still no new Dragonite variant. While boring Salamance gets another.
As for starters they need to move away from water grass and fire types. It's been done ALL THE TIME.
Also no new Eeveelutions.
Overall it's a good fun game so far. I'm not a fanboy btw. I'm just a guy that has played Pokemon for over 20 years. I've critize past games but this one I like this one.
Highlight: The Cat starter is pretty cool. My team is unstoppable.
Main Intelligence: 1 for Pokemon because they don't mind being enslaved.
Do any worthless Mutts appear?: Yes. They have one annoying dog that annoyingly barks when it's in frame. It's annoying.
Is this game worthy?: For my last Pokemon game before I retire it's does what it's supposed to do and I say yes.
Should you play this game?: I'm a little bias seeing how I'm going to call it a Pokemon career, I say yes. You grind, catch Pokemon, battle. It's been the same concept for over 20 years. Anyone complaining is only complaining to jump on the bandwagon of negative Nancy's or because a Youtuber hates the game haha!
So yeah play this game for you and go catch a Pikachu. I saw one and I killed it because Pikachu is hash. But if you like Pikachu then go find one and enjoy this game.
