  • Don't believe the hate!
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Shield
I really don't get why people hate on this game so much. Some tree textures weren't incredibly high-detail? Okay, it's Nintendo. The art style is never realistic and that is a strength, not a weakness. If you've played Scarlet/Violet, this game feels like it actually came out after those-- the quality is so much better and the world feels so much more fleshed out. The Britain-inspired Galar region is charming, the towns are lush with unique architecture, and the world just feels more like a real place where people live. I'm not usually a fan of battle gimmicks like Z-moves and mega evolutions, but the Dynamax system feels like they finally found the sweet spot and pulled the best parts from the other previous gimmicks that didn't fare so well. For more context: I'm a Gen 1 fan who hasn't played any Pokémon games since Gen 3 on the Gameboy Advance. But recently, I decided to marathon through and play one game from each generation to catch up. So after playing way too many repetitive Pokémon games for weeks, I should have been sick of it. This game was a breath of fresh air. For me, it feels like a visual representation of how playing the original GameBoy games felt-- it gives you an epic sense of adventure and a cool, bright world to explore. The gym battles in particular felt like the truest representation of what gym battles should have been from the beginning: without spoiling too much, they play out in huge stadiums with cheering crowds (and great music), and the trials that each gym puts in front of you before battling the leader are pretty fun/engaging. The storylines in this franchise are never fantastic, but as they go, this one was one of the better ones in my opinion. I also had my younger sibling play this game, who's a decade younger, and had never played through a Pokemon game besides Legends Arceus (also highly recommend that one) and they have always been turned away by the grinding, boring, repetitive nature of the mainline games. But they loved it, and even bought their own copy so that we can play online together from across the country. :) Basically, the hate for this game is a lot of nitpicking, and then piling on the hate because that's what everyone else what doing at the time so it seemed cool to do. Try it for yourself and just go into it without anyone else's criticisms coloring your judgment. There's a lot of fun to be had! ... show more

  • Way better than you think! :D
Platform: Nintendo Switch Edition: Shield
I have not fully beaten the game but i did make it to the third gym and a route beyond that and i was not expecting it to be this good :) with past games, u just simply go in the gyms and beat some trainers to get to the gym leader. This game still holds true to that but they added a gym challenge to spice things up. Gym challenges are certain objectives u have to do while you're also beating the trainers and its just so much fun and the scenery as u walk in is so breathtaking :) once u complete the challenge, the doors open and tons of people r cheering making u feel like actual pokemon trainer :D When the first gym leader dynamxed his pokemon, it makes things a bit tougher as it did way more damage than what i expected it to even though his pokemon isnt super effective against mine. That forced me to dynamax and set up defensive moves such as light screen and reflect and held up just in time for the 3 turns to be over and his pokemon reversed back to being tiny. I ended up beating the gym with red hp. The second gym was easy to beat since i had an electric type corgi and the 3rd gym gave me a bit of a challenge since i didnt have any pokemon with type advantages but still managed to win my second time around :) This game has more freedom to roam around when ur done interacting with the main characters and theres lots of hidden stuff on the roads that shine as ur passing through. The diversity of old and new pokemon is outstanding as well. Theres lots of pokemon to choose from in every route. Even in the beginning of ur journey, u can start fishing with ur fishing rod so u can mix and match the perfect team from the start :) i would also advise being very careful in the wild area because i got my butt kicked with a level 45 Galvantula while i was just level 12. I was lucky to escape with my last pokemon still unfainted xD i was dumb enough to interact with it since i thought i would be lucky enough to catch it but found out u have to beat a certain amount of gyms in order to catch high level pokemon or else it'll just tell u that it wont let its guard down. Its the same concept as having a certain amount of gym badges to make high level pokemon from trades obey u. I had to find out the hard way lol Now for the designs of the new pokemon and graphics of the games. Everyone has their own opinions on this ever since it was announced that there was gonna be no national dex. Personally, i avoided the leaks so idk what im expecting to get. So far, i love every single pokemon i have come across. Some r weird and funny looking but they do grow on u as u figure out they are really good in battles :) when they evolved, i still love the designs and was so surprised of the typings that were added and became even more useful to keep in ur team. It is true that many battle move animations and models r reused from past games but it really shouldnt matter all that much as alot of old moves have new animations and the pokemon's colors and textures look way better than the previous generations. The graphics in the wild area is the best ive seen except for the trees. The weird part is, the berry trees in the wild area look completely fine and fit well with the good graphics so my guess is that the company didnt really bother making those normal trees look as good since u cant interact with them at all and in my opinion thats completely fine. The graphics in the towns, caves, and routes are completely breathtaking so theres nothing negative i can say there :) Despite lack of national dex i will say this. Overall, this game deserves its 5 stars and worth every penny. The variety of pokemon, the fun battles, and both ur awesome and jerk rivals make it a really fun experience for both oldschool and new trainers to enjoy. As i stated, i avoided every single thing about this game besides the announcement trailers from pokemon and nintendo so i was nervous since so many people were stating that the animations were garbage. Playing this game, i just dont see anything wrong with how it looks and how the pokemon move. The game and its scenery looks absolutely beautiful. I really recommend this game to at least be given a chance. I know it will be worth the gameplay :) ... show more
