Pokémon Violet - US Version

Quality game with easy to follow instructions, a clear cut storyline, and a fun array of obstacles! While I have noticed the game glitch a small number of times, I noticed I hadn’t updated my switch software recently and once I did the glitching stopped. All age gameplay in my opinion, very tame game with options for picnics, battling, learning recipes, and more! Unsure of how it compares to Scarlet as I don’t have it yet.

So the obvious thing that I have to address, is that this game had technical issues on release. It’s inexcusable to release an unfinished game on launch. I will say that the recent patches have helped fixed those problems and have made the gameplay experience better. Honestly this is game has been a lot of fun and despite the technical issues, I can tell that Gamefreak put a lot of love into this game. This entry has to have some of the best variety in availability in catchable Pokémon. It seems like a lot of fan favorites are available and are so much easier to encounter and catch than they’ve ever been before. It’s almost difficult to settle on a team. The break in the standard formula of gameplay, is an interesting change of pace. I found myself getting sidetracked in all the game has to offer, that I’ve barely even scratched the surface of the main storylines. If you’ve enjoyed the experience of freedom and exploration in Zelda: Breath of The Wild, then I think you’ll feel a similar level of enjoyment with this latest Pokémon game.

One of the most unique modern Pokemon games to come out. While it may not appeal to the fans of the more straight-forward style Pokemon games, it has a fun open world experience I personally loved. Definitely a must-have for any handheld pokemon game enjoyer, and still holds up in 2026 as one of thr best Pokemon games.

Pokémon Violet for the Nintendo Switch is a thrilling addition to the beloved Pokémon franchise, offering a fresh and immersive journey that will captivate fans old and new alike. As an avid Pokémon enthusiast, I couldn't wait to dive into the vibrant world of Pokémon Violet, and it did not disappoint. First and foremost, let's talk about the visuals. The game boasts stunning graphics that bring the Pokémon universe to life like never before. From the lush forests of Viridian City to the bustling streets of Saffron City, each location is rendered with breathtaking detail, making every step of your journey a visual feast for the eyes. But it's not just about looks—Pokémon Violet delivers on gameplay too. The introduction of dynamic weather systems and day-night cycles adds a new layer of realism to the Pokémon world, creating a dynamic and ever-changing environment to explore. Whether you're battling trainers under the blazing sun or searching for elusive Pokémon under the stars, there's always something new and exciting to discover. One of the standout features of Pokémon Violet is the expanded Pokédex, which introduces a host of new Pokémon to catch and train. From adorable new starters to powerful legendary creatures, there's a Pokémon for every trainer to fall in love with. And with the addition of new battle mechanics and move sets, battles are more intense and strategic than ever before. But perhaps the most exciting aspect of Pokémon Violet is the new region itself.

Overall, Pokémon Violet is a must-have for any Pokémon fan. With its stunning visuals, engaging gameplay, and richly detailed world, it's a true evolution of the Pokémon experience.

Love having the physical game, it was cheaper than buying the digital!

It looks like a Pokemon game. It feels like a Pokemon game. It plays like a Pokemon game. If I want graphics from Xenoblade 2, I'll play Xenoblade 2, not Pokemon. Sure, you can say the textures aren't great, but they aren't _intrusive_. It's hard enough to see some of the tinier Pokemon on the overworld, and I could only imagine that being 2-3x worse with more plentiful grass/better textures, etc. For the style of the game, the graphics they chose makes _sense_, but if graphics make or break a game for you, then I suppose you should skip this installment (and all Pokemon games, probably). In terms of the bugs...yes, the game is buggy, mostly is rendering distance for animated people. Some of the cutscenes were so badly animated I laughed (it was worst in the opening tutorial, then got better as I played). But when push came to shove and you needed to get somewhere or talk to someone, I never had any issues. None of the "bugs" were game breaking, and honestly I cared more about exploring the overworld than I did the cities, so the glitchy textures didn't bother me all too much. Now I would love to gush about all of the things I LOVED about this game. The open world experience was so utterly free, that I actually lost my first gym battle because I was exploring and found some out of the intended order. Sure, going back to the easier gyms meant that the fights were cake by comparison, but this is the level of freedom the game offered. You had 3 completely separate storylines to pursue, and I was actually invested in all of them. You have to complete all 3 to unlock the final area, which tied up a lot of loose ends and provided a satisfying ending. The multiplayer aspect was really interesting and fun to play around with! We couldn't fight NPCs together on the overworld (though we didn't try too hard to figure it out), but we could explore together, actually watch the overworld Pokemon battles the other did and keep tabs on what the other player was catching/battling. Terastalizing was a cool new gimmick, though I didn't find myself using it too often. The different typings were usually pretty straightforward to differentiate, and made for some fun mistakes when you used a move to wipe out one type, but it terastalized to another so your move did nothing or less than you meant to. Tera raid battles seemed easier than Sword/Shield, but I hear they go up to level 7, and we've only challenged level 4s. I loved my rival, who is actually already a Pokemon champion, so in every "rival battle" she's testing you instead of just trying to beat you, which was incredibly refreshing. Instead of being upset, she is just so infectiously excited by your progress that I looked forward to our next interaction. I loved the school classes I could take, which were still entertaining, fun, and gave you rewards for working through them. As someone who's been playing Pokemon since Red/Blue, most of the classes didn't have anything TOO challenging, but there were a few things even I struggled with on the tests. The school also offered an "affection" system with the teachers, which would net you some nice items by the end if you stick it out. It is obviously very different from normal Pokemon gameplay, and helped to breakup some of the monotony around "battle/catch/explore" of the rest of the game. The world is truly open, unlike Arceus which felt like a bit of a trial run for Scarlet/Violet. The game rewards you for exploring with various items, TMs, and rare Pokemon that only spawn in certain areas. The auto battle system felt pretty broken when I first heard about it, but as you progress farther into the game, the experience you get from overworld battles is fairly minimal, and you'd still have to spend an adequate amount of time grinding if you wanted to be truly overleveled for the content. Maybe that feels "too easy" for veteran players of the series, but I'm too old now to find joy in engaging in battle after battle of wild Pokemon for pitiful amounts of experience, and I appreciated the streamlined process. I truly loved my legendary, and having it available for you early in the game and the thing that facilitates your movement and exploration of the world was a different but great choice. By the time you get to the final battle, where of course you'd be using it in battle, I was very invested in this silly little creature, and the emotional beats actually had some payoff. As a last note, I'll say I loved this generations designs; probably the best ones I've seen in quite a few titles. Sure, there are some uninspired ones (looking at you, Flamigo the flamingo), but even Red/Blue had some uninspired designs (Grimer is literally some sentient grime, and Exeggcute is literally just a pile of eggs). All of the designs felt like actual Pokemon to me, and the graphics didn't seem out of place when put next to earlier gens (unlike the adorable Yamper from Sword/Shield as an example). Overall, I'd say this is a great new addition to the franchise. If low textures or slightly buggy graphics infuriates you, maybe skip it or wait for some patches, but the game is quite playable, has charming stories and fun gameplay. For folks that say it's too easy, might I recommend trying a challenge run, such as "new pokemon only" or "single type only" to challenge you a little more.
