    Been playing it almost non stop since sunday, I got the violet version because my fav dragon types are exclusive mon's. I am perhaps 60% through the game? it feels so much longer and larger than previous gens, so much packed into it and I heard there will be DLC so performance/bugs aside this is by far the best pokemon game I have ever played

    Been enjoying my time in Pokemon Violet so far, my first game since Pokemon SoulSilver. I'm especially having a great time just hanging around with a friend in voice and playing through the game together with the Union Circle feature. Big downsides for me personally are the frame rate issues and the rather meh looking graphics in the world.

    Hopefully this is the kick in the head GameFreak needed. Pokemon has always been weak on graphics but these issues are beyond the pale for a current gen console game. The fact that so many people are playing through the issues, myself included, is a testament that the concept is sound. The story of this game is probably one of the best ever and the design of the new mons is mostly solid. It's all just let down by looking like a closed beta version.

    Not gonna lie, seems like ever since the Pokemon games went 3D everything from XY to SV have felt unfinished. The fact some are saying the Switch can't handle the graphics is ludicrous, look at Xenoblade and Breath of the Wild. Maybe its time for the title to be handed too another developer, just saying.

    "Fan favourite Buizel"

    Not after that 'Big Buizel, Little Buizel' quest in Arceus!!

    I am enjoying Scarlet though. The multiplayer - getting to play in the same world as friends - is so much fun and exactly what I've been hoping for from Pokemon for years.
