Pokémon Violet (Nintendo Switch)

I have completed this game and I can safely say I thoroughly enjoyed myself.As someone who has played Pokémon since its launch in the 90s, I actually like the way the franchise has evolved.It has a set of stories that you need to do to unlock the finale, and has so many in-game features it will keep you entertained for days.I understand alot of people complained about the bugs at launch (which the developers fixed) and times where you lose latency...Honestly, I do not know why people feel the need to complain about something so trivial.The original generation of Pokémon games were so limited; with no backlight on the handheld Gameboy, no online features of any kind (except local play via link cables, as the internet was not really a thing back then).If you had no friends you would find yourself unable to just hop online and make them like you can today.It was a set path, with no story and no character was really memorable.Nowadays you get to see Pokémon in their natural habitats like real life animals. Swimming in lakes, hanging from trees, even grouped up in herds or packs.You get to customise your own characters and explore a vast open world that we only ever dreamed of as children in the 90s.I have played through and own at least one game from every generation (and on their respective handhelds) and I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed myself.None of this min-maxing, IV business is my cup of tea, and the game caters to old fashioned types like me as well as the young, competitive types.I was able to go through the game at my own pace and enjoy the quality of life improvements, along with transferring Pokémon from previous games.I gave this game five stars and decided to order Scarlet too, since I love them so much. Now my husband who also grew up on these games, can enjoy the new experience with me!

The game I find to be as most Pokémon games are really addictive. I can explore the world for hours and it's because of the Pokémon and filling your Pokédex which is great as now for every 10 Pokémon caught it rewards you with items and the visual concept of it like filling books in a library is a lot better than before.Most of the new Pokémon designs are good and fit in with the old. And the game has mostly ran on my old original switch fine. Only issue is it does feel a bit rushed in some aspects like most modern pokemon games. At a distance NPC's judder and move like robots until you are practically on them and they didn't put interiors in most of the buildings. I have been playing for 30+ hours and I still have loads of story and game to do as well as Pokémon to catch. This time instead of just the 8 badges to collect there is also a titan pokemon storyline to follow and a team star one to follow. In my opinion it is a great game,fun and addictive with some minor, annoying niggles. Still recommended, especially for any fans of past Pokémon games!

Great game even without the dlc if you are a pokemon fan you will love the new game

My granddaughter was very please with it though these games are all a mystery to me !
