Violet was a pretty enjoyable game and it definitely got me excited to play more Pokémon games.

I liked the open world mechanics in the game but what bogs down the game a lot for me is the bland and ugly environment/world and the horrid frame rate.

Some of the characters like Nemona and Arven I really appreciated near the end of the game for their writing and maybe even some of the gym leaders were kind of cool but overall the story wasn’t anything great.

As I was playing previous Switch Pokémon titles like Arceus and Sword, I noticed a lot of cool mechanics that those games added that simply are completely absent in Violet and I can’t really overlook that either.

The game was still overall very enjoyable and fun though.
