Pokémon Scarlet & Violet SUCKS and here's why. 

I legitimately failed the Elite 4 questionnaire twice because the towns and gym fights were all so forgettable that I honestly couldn't remember them... This game is such garbage that I needed to cheat on a test because I didn't remember a damn thing about it despite playing it all the way through in the span of a week... Still better than Sw/Sh though...

It just hit me, Geeta's ace should have been SHINY Kingambit. Look at them next to eachother

My biggest complaint is the crashes. I don't save every 2 minutes, so when the game inevitably crashes, I lose a bunch of time and lose track which pokemon I have and which ones I caught but didn't save. This made me put the game down and wait for bugs to be fixed in order to finish my first play through.

Legit made me laugh like 10 times. Great review !

As a person who uses the one-liner "I'm helping" and also cancel-slides across the floor at my job, Im offended!

Bro how did they do this to Pokemon? Like. We had games like Emerald, Platinum and BW2?? HOW??

The biggest miss in this game is battle tower. The battle tower / tree etc gave a good post game challenge. You could use fun teams and the multi challenge with a friend was much fun. Now the only thing you can do after game is shiny hunt / online battle

Literally didn't get this game because I found out you couldn't change out of that bummy uniform knowing now that they tried to turn around and sell you the missing feature I see I made the right call.

The way I see it, its a pretty good Pokémon game but only bc its Pokémon. If any other game had come out in this state it would have been on the list with Saints Row and Redfall. The Pokémon formula is so easy to win with that even fans can make great Pokémon games with no budget.

Agreed 100%. Also the soundtracks for the towns do not compare to the older ones. Not even close. It sounds lifeless. You dont do missions for people in town either. The game isn't even bright all the colors look washed out and most places are very empty. It sounds and looks lifeless. Theres barely even a story. This is supposed to be better than sword and shield? It genuinely puts me to sleep. 5/10 and im being very generous

That sandwhich scene was flippin hilarious....😂😂😂😂🤣😂😂, "Clapping cheeks under the table" jesus!

7:29 I just thought you should know thanks to this video the "iTs tuFF bEInG a KiD" line is now a running joke in our household, complete with marching around in that awkward stance. 😂 we still come back to this video and laugh at it

The conversations take freaking forever to get through 😒 even on the fast speed

Pokémon red- 8.5/10 Pokemon fire red - 9/10 Pokemon silver- 9.5/10 Pokemon soul silver 8/10 Pokemon sapphire - 8.5/10 Pokemon ORAS - 9/10 Pokemon diamond - 9.5/10 Pokemon BDSP - 6/10 Pokémon Black - 8.5/10 Pokémon X - 8/10 Pokemon Moon - 7/10 Pokémon sword - 5/10 Pokémon scarlet - 1/10 (complete failure)

Hey you're closing music sounds good, i see its by "Earl The Monarch", just wanted to comment in case anyone was wondering

pokemon either needs to get help from other studios that can optimize open world games, or go back to 2d games beacuse these graphics are embarrassing

"I'm helping!" Edit: "Anus of time" got me so good

I gotta say Jack, I think this is ur BEST vidya yet, i really can't wait to see ur next game review whether u hate it or not anyways, i think the points you make in this video are actually pretty valid, the scaling is terrible, the customization needs more customization, most of the chars aren't memorable in any way unless u actively seek out their stories and even then they're not all memorable. i agree overall this game isnt very good id give it a 3/9 (9 gens kekw) now heres my but, BUT(T), as a competitive player (idk if u have ever had any exp palying comp pkmn) I have to put my foot down and say that this game is BY FAR the best pkmn comp scene since x/y. the introduction of megas ruined it and sun/moon had to pick up the pieces and then gf pooped the bed with sw/sh so badly that DOUBLES became the new hype comp scene (honestly embarrassing imo) and tbh terrastallizing is def the best way to maintain this game-changing shocker mechanic without being ridiculous like megas or dynamaxing anyway, thats my comment hope u enjoy it

Great video ❤👌 Fun to watch while i'm sick in bed about to play some more Pokemon

The designs of some of the Pokémon is about the only credit I can give this game. Aside from Arven’s story being pretty good, the other two stories are basic. The ending was good, but all in all, everything is meh.

What do you expect the game to be that has half the development time and half the amount of developers than Tears of the Kingdom, while simultaneously giving shit to what their developers want and just listening to the internal artists? And nothing will change if you all buy the games despite seeing how shitty they look in the trailers.

7:29 IM FUCKING DYING 💀

This is a really great quality review. Look forward to seeing more.

oh god thanks for making this! I was genuinely surprised when I saw people praising it so much after its release date. It took me so long to even beat the elite four. Unfortunately I don't think Pokemon games are going to change because to game freak its quantity over quality. Good video!

I'm only gonna say Scarlet/Violet is a good game just so I can whoop you in smash, Jack. But truthfully, I do agree with the points made about the horrible frame-rate, the mechanics not being meant for open-world, and the world being so dead and being expressionless. (Btw f the intended level, I beat the Lurking Steel Titan as my 8th major thing done)

There is lettuce on the sandwhich. Lettuce is to Koraidon like spinach is to Popeye.

This video is such higher quality, than the subscriber count would initially tell you. 👍

Just found this in my recommended! You're so funny 😂 great video

Did you ever play arceus? Im playing it now and wow what a great game. Would love to see u play and enjoy after this hot mess

I disliked the game so much I didn't even bother finishing it. Such a disappointment, a truly terrible product

lets go are the best looking pokemon games

Pokémon scarlet and violet are the worst games in the franchise IMO and this is coming from someone who’s been a lifelong Pokémon fan.

As many problems the game has its the most i have enjoyed Pokémon in years and the first i actually felt enticed to fill the pokedex.

This channel could blow the fuck up if you reviewed more games. You are hilarious, good editing, good structure.

Hmm... its strange that I had the exact opposite opinion on the game. But have absolutely no objections to any of the points made. Personally I thought this was one of the better of the recent games. I only played it about a month ago (mainly since I said I was gonna skip it since sword and shield were so bad...) But personally I never experienced any real glitches. I did notice framerate issues, but its a switch game. So I was expecting that. But on the other hand, BoTW/ToTK looks amazing... so why does pokemon have trouble? I also liked how the gym order technically allowed the game to be harder. I went across the gyms way out of order. Here was my order based on the IGN list shown in the video: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 5, 4, 6, 9, 11, 13, 17, 14, 12, 15, 10, 18, 16 Maybe I was fine cause I used many pokemon on my team, while avoiding trainers and not grinding. I used 15 pokemon on my team at any point. I liked the idea of going back to the gym leaders and seeing their dialogue in the post game... but they were way too easy, I basically swept every one of them. Though, If I were to rank all the gens, I would probably place scarlet/violet exactly in the middle.

agree on pretty much everything. s/v felt so rushed. it's saying something if even sw/sh are better. too many cut corners. that said, gen 9 is just ok, but could be so much better if the devs actually tried. funny video btw and great job!

More time wouldn't have saved this game. Everything brought up is evidences of Developers not caring how sloppy their work is. More competent developers could have delivered a better experience in the same amount of time.

i like hearing you talk

Oh yeah, Koraidon and Miraidon can now fly properly . . . from purchasing the DLC lol

amazing video❤ surprised you dont even have 1k subs

you a funny dude

The realistic movement with no voices made me uncomfortable

It took until Indigo Disk DLC to be able to fully fly *but* only after you beat the main campaign. So that leaves flying around post game. Literally waste. This game had a ton of effort to make an open world Pokemon so lifeless. This proves that the Pokemon Company can produce turds and people will still buy it.

i like the pokemons in the new game but all of it just sucks

15:48 😂😂😂

there not changing anything as long as they keep making money

Pokemon Jalopy and Pokemon Lemon. 🤣

I feel bad for pokemon fans... They're a bit like Madden fans... The devs/publishers have no incentive to make good games because no matter how shitty their games are, they'll still sell millions. Honestly, the only thing you guys can do is stop buying trash.

Hasta la vistar 😂

8:31 did you just… 😂

Did you make a video on why you didn’t like Sword and Shield? Because you made some valid points on why it’s just better than Scarlet and Violet. I personally like how it

Oh so it's not my emulator? Lol

Youre hilarious man!

Pokemon is just one of those games that people will never stop buying no matter how much they cut corners on it. Unfortunate 😢

I lost it at 16:06

Man, I was hyped to play this game. It was fun ideas, but the development cycle is just too bad for this franchise. I literally given up on Pokemon, I already predict the DLC being just a bunch of bad cutscenes with scripted battles, tera battles aren't even fun, they flat out don't work I'll MAYBE try a johto remake if they make one, other than that I'm DONE.

good review

Can we a get glitch compilation 😂 or would it be too much footage to gather for 1 video😂

👍🏾

I hate the human character designs in this game, soulless

This game was good for what it is. I really enjoy it for the fact that it's open world and alot of pokemon. They didn't add to many things to do which i would like in the next one. Ive ran into bugs and raid crashes. Hasn't stopped me from playin. Im not to harsh on this first release because its one attempt against all the years they've had to work at the other styles. Dlc isn't exclusive to pokemon so that's not a big deal. They should've kept some legends mechanics. Pokemon attacking or running away is better than them jus sittin around. give pokemon things to do in the environment. Get rid of gliding. Both games it was wack. Let us fly they literally give you the ability to do so with all the check points. Again first attempt. I think next one will be way better

It does have its issues for sure but mechanically it’s probably the most fun I’ve had along with a great story

The Gym Leaders are better in Sw/Sh than no one in Paldea. The Elite 4 are also really bad from a creative standpoint (especially when Larry is also one while being a Gym Leader? That seems like they had no time to make a proper 4th member.) also, not to be rude, but Iono is the ONLY memorable and good Gym Leader because she got legit hype with her trailers. Larry is the one Gym Leader I don’t get the hype for him when he’s the Squidward of the franchise who should never be a Gym Leader because it’s obvious he hates his job. I don’t think a franchise like Pokémon needs a “SQUIDWARD” type character in a reality like this.

However, I DISAGREE!!!

Emerald, and Generations 4 and 5 are the best. They at least play great, and tried to add as much as they could. Anime graphics should have been used in any Japan-based video game for better potential for smooth gameplay, stable physics, and plenty of content. The characters should look appealing, even being sex dimorphic with sex-locked clothes and hair. The arching head and tall eyes design is the best in making characters look cute. The school setting contradicts the open-world setting and theme that the schools work in the old Pokémon games since the schools are just minor places you can visit like they are training modes. All the routes and cities open is how you can make an open-world video game while still having some linear elements like with the gyms you can only get in based on how many badges you have. The Exp. Share should be an option to level up Pokémon evenly, and just over-level the different ID Pokémon. Abilities no longer work in the overworld, which takes away the Pokémon-getting variety. Now we are back to how the Abilities work in RS and FRLG. Despite Game Freak being so lazy in copying the Pokémon models and moves from the 3DS games, they did not try and copy the male and female models to change the hair, eyes, and clothes as a way to create new characters. I heard that making ugly characters is hard to do because they waste memory size. Inti Creates, M2, Arika, and Code Mystics can probably make Pokémon games better-especially with anime graphics that would allow potential for the Regional PokéDex, National PokéDex, Abilities working in and out of battles, sex dimorphic characters, sex-locked clothes and hairstyles, overworld Pokémon, Loto-ID, rematches, Battle Frontier, reusable TMs, TRs, HMs, arcades, farming, and others. Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the worst in the series for being ugly and broken, as well as being porikore as the Japanese say.

Honestly I blame Joe Biden on this stuff

i agree most of you points but a lot of animals dont do anything at all most of the time

God damn ima miss this pkmn series😂 just buy the DLC so I dont have to, fuck it

1st

man I don't get even a fraction of all the bugs people experience in games. Idk the game was good man.

Bro, that yellow bottom row in your smile is really distracting, sorry

Nah man these games are fun tho

Bro ease up on all the goody loud noises and random clips. Just express ur thoughts more clean cuz bro... vid looking messy.
