Pokémon Scarlet overall was an enjoyable game. Besides being very disappointed how this game was released, I still had a lot of fun with it. I just imagine a world where this game was running at 60FPS. I say this because for most of the game I found myself actually zoned out and focused on finding Pokémon in each new area to expand my Pokedex. It was a great feeling that I haven’t had since Red and Blue. The reason for this is because this is an open world Pokémon game so seeing Pokémon pop up left and right was exciting because I wasn’t sure which new Pokémon I would see. I went into this game without any spoilers for the first time since Red and Blue.
The story format is a lot better in these version as you have three different paths to go down. You have your basic obtain 8 badges and become the champion of the region. You also have to complete gym challenges before fighting the gym leader. I found most of the gym challenges to be boring. You also have the Path of Star where you have to take out the leaders of Team Star. The only thing I didn’t like about this one was you had to defeat 30 Pokémon for each camp with the new mechanic of sending out your Pokémon to the field in Auto battles. I found it was boring and took too long. The other one which I enjoyed the most was finding and fighting the Titan Pokémon. Each time you took one down you would gain a new exploration power for Koraidon. I didn’t look up any spoilers for this either so it was exciting to see which new powers I would receive each time.
Once you have completed all story events you head on over to one of the final challenges which is Aero Zero. The giant crater in the center of the map. This had a unique story twist to it which I liked and a bit darker and sad. Overall the final battle was really well done and the music was just awesome. I recommend beating the game to see this.
Once area zero is done you go through a series of 4 battles at the academy which doesn’t take too long overall and generally easy. Once completed you head on over to all the post-game stuff where you catch the legendary Pokémon and finish your Pokedex for the region which I am currently working on myself.
Overall, it was a pretty enjoyable game where I actually felt immersed in the world. If the game was less glitch, buggy and less ugly. It would have been an exceptional game.
