Scarlet and Violet have great ideas, the story is actually well crafted by pokemon's rather low standards. The pokemon themselves are full of personality and it is indeed the first full mainline open world pokemon game. The endgame even has decent challenge (except the dumb as hell champion)!
Unfortunately it hurts your eyes to look at and remains very very very buggy 2 years on! The pokemon company is just soooooo complacent. The mismanagement of this greatest of franchises is crazy. How do you enjoy a game that can sometimes run at 10 fps and the draw distance is at times 3 centimeters? You can't. Atleast I can't. This is just such a shame. This could have been a great fun pokemon game, a return to fame.
Alas the wait goes on. I do not recommend this at all. Play the old games or knockoffs like cassette beasts and palworld, dont touch this steaming pile of crap.
