Awsome games. a story that I liked more than previous titles like Black & White, and an open world never seen before.
ITA
Meraviglioso mondo aperto, pieno di pokémon con interazioni in base al loro ambiente e con un ottimo sistema di combattimento che migliora con ogni titolo.
Although a step forward in certain aspects, they are also some steps back in many other ways.
- The Pokemon designs not only are the most forgettable in the franchise, but they feel out of place, incoherent, even BAD.
- Not that Gigantamax was great, but Terracrystalization simply isn't well implemented, like other new mechanics. Once you use it, you have to go back to a Pokemon center and recharge it, so you'll end up using it around 10 times in the whole game.
- About the story and structure, one cannot help but compare it to Fire Emblem Three Houses with its multiple paths, the academy, etc., but it looks GameFreak just forgot about a good cast, memorable situations and any sort of good story. And let's obviate the tehcnical optimisation.
However, the new region finds some charm here and there, inspired by the Spanish and Portuguese cultures (as Sword and Shield so well did), mainly in the interior designs and the exterior of houses. The bigger size of the region, helps the game feel more immersive at times, although at the same time, the lack of coherence and engage makes it also feel more inert than ever. It feels rather empty.
Overall, they are fine games. If you're expecting a Pokemon game, these are Pokemon games. But their inspiration and polish leave a lot to desire. It tries more than Sword and Shield. Fails much more than Sword and Shield. Better than Legends Arceus? Sure. Some additions are welcome, but the thing is that for each one of them there are 5 mistakes or downgrades.
With great potential, Scarlet and Violet fall near the bottom of the franchise, but still make for a decent game.
Escarlata y Purpura esta roto por todos lados, tiene unos terribles problemas de rendimiento, la exploración es una catástrofe y un pecado xd y una vez mas, como en los otros juegos de Switch no esta balaceado y no tiene una buena curva de dificultad. Eso si me encantan los personajes y sus respectivas historias y también la disposición de enfrentar los objetivos de la historia en el orden que quiera ta bueno. Y odio a los iniciales, ninguno me gusta, es la primera vez que me pasa, uno es un gato furra que es muy incomoda de ver, el otro es un pato furro también muy incomodo de ver y el cocodrilo le sobran detalles y no entiendo porque su ataque es cantar por un micrófono. en general otro juego que prometía y nos lo dieron a medio gas y obviamente con dlc aunque siendo sinceros no se siente tanto como contenido recortado como en Escudo y Espada, pero sigue indignando que se atrevan a sacarlos en un juego que esta prácticamente sin terminar, deberían minimo terminar de arreglar su juego. Creo que en este juego se esforzaron mas a la hora de planearlo al menos, pero nada más.
This is basically to talk about the game that has two versions as a whole since you do encounter different Pokémon, and wear different uniforms; but they play the same.
The open world and large items list are the positives. I would love to see those in the Kanto-, Jouto, Houen, and Shin'ou Pokémon games. The adventuring freedom like being able to challenge different gyms is fun as you are not blocked away from paths. The auto battling makes leveling up quick when you have better type matchups. You are able to buy type-boosting items and Mints with either money and League Points you have from beating trainers and getting Pokémon. You can also craft TMs.
The physics are the negatives. Everything flickers, you tend to teleport to far spots when you send your Pokémon out to battle, and you can get stuck on some land when riding. The Abilities never work outside of battles. Synchro no longer changes any wild Pokémon's Nature. That is taking away the variety of getting Pokémon that I often find myself reseting the game to look for a different Pokémon with the Nature I want. It is frustrating when you got a Synchro Ralts with any neutral Nature from the first area. It used to work in the past games since Emerald and even in Generation 8. It is as if SV were made around Legends: Arceus where that action RPG does not have Abilities, and even that was annoying. The character customization seems nice, but the problem is that TPC has a problem with separating the options by sex where the boys have the same hairstyle option as the female's, and can wear lipstick where even if the idea is based on kabuki actors, it is still pointless and weird. The character designs are doll-like like in New Pokémon Snap, and are just kind of creepy when seeing the bumps on the cheeks and depth around the eyes. Pokémon is supposed to be like an anime. It is not like we are expecting Grand Theft Auto graphics or whatever. Cel anime graphics like in the Nexomon and Gal Gun games should have been used to allow potential for much added content, fixed glitches, and smoother gameplay. Nexomon, Gal Gun, and even the Xenoblade games played fine on the Nintendo Switch.
People say that the Pokémon games should have went back to being 2D games. You can make video games like an anime, and they will sell if you can get the gameplay, physics, and graphics right. Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Rescue Team DX looks like the Generation 6 games for the 3DS in HD, and looks great and possibly play great too where even if the graphics are "bad", you do not see pop ins and outs nor get stuck in levels. I feel like I am better off with playing ports of old Pokémon games. Code Mystics and Inti Creates might make Pokémon games better without TPC rushing Game Freak, and be better than ILCA.
I won't even discuss the bugs here as part of my review since everyone else already did. Lets disregard the fact that the brand is **** game itself is extremely simple, from the battle system to the dialog to the art, everything. Honestly when I saw motorcyclemon and found out his wheels don't spin, why did they make the pokemon look like a generic motorcycle? This type of design is so bad...I really can't even find the words for it.
