Product Description
The newest chapters in the Pokémon series are coming to the Nintendo Switch system later this year. Catch, battle, and train Pokémon in the Paldea Region, a vast land filled with lakes, towering peaks, wastelands, small towns, and sprawling cities. There is no set path, so you can adventure freely through three grand stories. In one such story, you can challenge Pokémon Gyms in any order you desire as you aim for the Champion Rank! Explore a wide-open world at your own pace and traverse land, water, and air by riding on the form-shifting Legendary Pokémon Miraidon. Choose either Sprigatito, Fuecoco, or Quaxly, to be your first partner Pokémon before setting off on your journey through Paldea.
Pokémon in the Paldea region have the ability to Terastallize to gain special power. When a Pokémon Terastallizes, a Tera Jewel appears above its head like a crown, and the Pokémon’s body glistens like a cut gemstone. Each Pokémon has a Tera Type that remains inactive until the Pokémon Terastallizes. For example, most Eevee will have a Normal Tera Type, but some other Eevee have a Flying Tera Type! When a Terastallized Pokémon uses a move that matches its Tera Type and at least one of its original types, the boost to that move’s power will be even greater! Terastallizing holds the key to victory or defeat in battles in the Paldea region.
The Paldea Region is home to a prestigious school where people from all sorts of regions come to hone their skills against each other, be it through academics or Pokémon battles. The name of the school, its emblem, its uniforms, and other details will differ depending on whether you play Pokémon Scarlet or Pokémon Violet. Take classes with unique teachers who will show you what they know about battling, Pokémon biology, and more. Embark on an independent study called the Treasure Hunt to gain new experiences, meet new people, and find your very own treasure.

Additionally, yes, some landscape/building/background textures aren't great, but comparing it to an N64 or PS2 game is ridiculous hyperbole. I do agree that more character customization options are needed, but hopefully this will be included in the future. Raids don't seem quite as much fun as those from Sword and Shield so far, although I'm still at the point where I'm on the lower-level ones, so it's possible this improves with the six- and seven-star raids. Finally, the cities and towns feel weirdly hollow compared to the world at large, possibly in part because the lack of building interiors and interesting facilities.
Despite these issues, this is probably the most fun I've had with a Pokemon game in quite some time. The new Pokemon are all great, and between all of the items and Pokemon scattered around the open world, it feels like exploration is incentivized. I've easily spent several hours going between two points just because of how much there is to find.
The new terastallization mechanic is interesting, especially because it isn't quite as much of a "win button" as mega evolution, z-moves, and dynamaxing were in previous games. I've also enjoyed the options for interacting with and using your Pokemon in the overworld, which includes an auto-battling feature that makes any necessary grinding a breeze.
Overall, this game takes the classic Pokemon formula and improves upon it in every way. The only drawbacks are the poor performance and the glitches--both of which are enormously exaggerated by people online--which make it feel as if the game was rushed out a few months earlier than it should have been in order to meet Christmas demand. This is absolutely worth the purchase, and if they patch the aforementioned issues, I will be able to say that Scarlet and Violet are probably the best games in the series.
