Pokemon violet is such a dissapointment. I can deal with bad graphics but these are just lazy beyond belief. How does a game from 2022 look like a ps2 game?

    Game Freak knows it’ll sell well anyway and Pokémon makes most of its money off of merch anyhow. Game underperformed? Oh well, we can always sell more starter plushies.

    Tbh, sven though the game is fuckin ugly and runs like shit, my partner and I still had a great time with it. The real disappointment is how they “need” to keep adding new pokemon each gen, but end up with a bunch of ice cream cones and traffic lights and weird uninspired garbage.

    Graphics aside, I enjoyed the hell out of it.

    Because Gamefreak knows they could shit in your hands, call it pokemon, and you’d pay them for it.

    yeah it doesn’t look great, but damnit I have fun

    Because you’ll still buy the next one.

    I’ll tell you how: you paid for this game after footage and reviews told you exactly what’s the game

    It’s that simple – blame yourself.

    Cause millions of people like you still buy it.

    And you’ll do it again. And you’ll complain then too.

    That’s just rude. >!Please never insult PS2 games like that. 😤 !<

  10. It was enjoyable, but it very much feels like a penultimate draft of the final game. A bunch of tiny things all over the game that isnt quite right.

    And then there’s the graphics. It’s not only that they’re ugly, but they’re ugly in ways that were ‘fixed’ 10+ years ago.

    I’m really looking forward to the time they decide to put some effort into making a great pokemon game, where they don’t just do the bare minumum, or are merely testing new systems.

  14. This conversation came and went like 4 months ago dude

    i loved it

    area zero was absolutely gorgeous and had such a good atmosphere

  17. Is the gameplay good? That’s why we play, right?

    I think you’re a couple months late for this discourse.

    I think the complaints about presentation is warranted, but I’m on the opposite side as far as calling it a disappointment. Scarlet is my favorite Pokémon game since HG&SS.

    It was the first time in a few generations where a Pokémon game *just let me play.* We get a minute or two of dialogue here and there, and then you just go explore and roam and have fun. Sun & Moon and Sword & Shield were just corralling the player to 15-20 minutes of cutscenes text over and over and over. I hated it. Scarlet and Violet are how I remember Pokémon games being as a kid with gens I – III. I adored it!

    The game and story is great though. It’s a cool game underneath the garbage visuals and performance.

    …. You never had a PS2 did you? Same with people saying it’s like a GameCube game

  22. Heavenly_Nova1

    Y’all really like beating that dead horse huh

  23. PlayerJables

    How do you not know what a PS2 game looks like?

  24. PM_ME-YOUR_TOES

    Funniest thing is, this is the most fun I’ve had with a pokemon game in years. It has tons of problems but pokemon is basically a text based game anyways, gameplay is fun.

    While it doesn’t look great, I think you’ve forgotten was ps2 graphics looked like
