while at it's core Pokémon Scarlet and Violet was a fun, enjoyable romp of an adventure a handful of technical issues keep it from being the definitive Modern Pokémon experience,
with the issues being but not limited to pop in, textures flickering in and out of existence, the really bad Tera Battle Search feature that hardly works half of the time, can be super choppy and some of the textures can look super blurry up close, but technical issues aside the only other things I didn't like we're the shitty evolutions certain Pokémon had, particularly the "Walk 1000 Steps with the Pokémon" kind of evolutions, and how the game I shit you not sometimes hides Pokémon out of bounds, you can circumvent this by using the camera button to get up and close but it's still super shitty all the same, but aside from that I do think Scarlet and Violet are genuinley great games,
I loved the open-ended nature of it, how you can go where ever you please and tackle what ever challenge you wish in any order, even if they nudge you in a particular direction, but it's just advice on the games part so you can still do what you wish,
and I loved the games story and characters, I found them to be really charming and likable and I hope we can see Penny, Arven and Nemona in a different piece of Pokémon Media,
and I love the idea of Terastallizing Pokémon, either powering up there current type or switching there normal type to a different one to turn the tables on your opponent,
really if all the bugs and visual hiccups we're fixed I would consider this to be a very great game, damn near excellent, but alas this isn't the case, the glitches are the main reason I gave S&V a 3 out 5 stars, if they weren't here it would have been 5/5 stars on my part,
but yeah if you can stand a Pokémon game that can be sometimes visually unstable and hide Pokémon out of bounds I recommend this, but that is a VERY cautious recommendation, just know what your getting yourself into,
