This might be the hardest version choice I've had in a Pokemon game yet. Ceruledge looks awesome, but not having Hydreigon or Tyranitar is a gut punch.
you can move your deino or larvitar from pokemon sword/shield using pokemon home. so i will pick pokemon violet because ceruledge and miraidon are cool
I'm at a crossroads for me. For violet, I prefer the normal Pokémon exclusives, the uniform, and may prefer the cities. However, I am not a fan of the robotic Pokémon, and am much more fond of the ancient vibe honestly, which is a huge factor for me- probably not gonna get it for a little while, but am currently stuck on my decision
I got both versions and let me tell you the games are the same even the exclusives you can easily trade with codes thanks to austin john play. The only thing you need to consider is the riding for me koraidon is the best cause his wheels are not actual wheels but its his sack on front and his tail on the back. Koraidon also has emotions to show during gameplay. Miraidon on the other hand is cool to ride. I decided which version to main based on the legendery trio dog fusion in scarlet which is cool af
I've never played the game, but what a horrible option... Get a bike based one that functions properly or a dinky dinosaur with tires that don't actually function. I don't like robots, a huge turnoff for me too. Looks like Scarlett will be it for me.
I pinged back and forth between the two for a while but I think ultimately, I'm leaning more towards Scarlet, for the old world/nature type themes. Also, I'm really fond of my dragon types as well!
Yeah not really a fan of the design theming choices for Violet (seen so far), too narrow a theme choice imo, it'll prob just feel like almost every new paradox/version exclusive mon you see is some variation on 'robot' And with the past forms of Scarlet 'mons actually being rooted in history, designs from them will likely feel more what "Pokemon" was originally intended to be. Plus, I always liked seeing what exactly Pokemon where based on.
I prefer violet in almost every manner. The colours, the exclusives, the paradox Pokémon. But man, Koraidon is just so freaking cool and adorable. I don’t know what to do, I really want Violet, but I’m never gonna forgive myself if I leave Koraidon hanging😞
@@catchyname1081 Oh wow, hadn’t even considered the different professors, guess we all just have different priorities. Which version did you end up going with?
@@CalmExplosions Pokemon Violet. I love Miraidon, that purple armor Pokemon, salamence, dragapult and so much more with it. Despite preferring the Pokemon Scarlet professor, I just can't pass up Pokemon Violet.
I picked violet, mainly because of Miraidon, Ceruledge, and Prof. Turo, also because of all the futuristic stuff is kinda new, we've always had ancient stuff like the fossil mons and the ones introduced in PL:A so Violet it is.
After reading some of the comments, I’m really glad I made the decision easy on myself and just bought both versions. Did the same with Sword and Shield (last Pokémon game I played) and never regretted it
I normally have no trouble deciding on a version, and I've been playing since gen 1... But this time, has the most difficult to decision on which version to pick out of all of the generations. I'm leaning Violet because of the exclusive and legendary pokemon difference... but at the same time I prefer the professor, the "Version Name Font", the ancient theme, the ancient paradox forms, and school uniform of Scarlet more. ITS KIND OF HARD TO PICK!!! UGHHH
Samee oml I like a lot of the designs and the uniform in scarlet but a more futuristic landscape would be refreshing after legends arceus and I like the Pokémon for violet more 😭
I decided on Violet way back in June hahaha cos the choice for me is I always alternate the versions I get with each mainline Pokemon game (e.g. I got Let's Go Pikachu, Shield, Brilliant Diamond etc.). Furthermore, I have played Legends: Arceus which is based on the past, so now I thought it's time to play a Pokemon game based on the future! (:
Toughest decision in a long time. Intended to pick Scarlet, bc I usually prefer ancient stuff over futurism, and I really like Koraidon, but Miraidon grew on me. Probably making a spontaneous decision once I buy the game.
@@calebhogue2619 I was lucky, there were only two versions of Scarlet left, and me and my best friend picked that :D Perhaps starting over again though, as I couldn't really immerse myself into it due to stress today
@@guillaumeinjjuz1744 I think it's cool :) I actually like it more than Miraidon's driving, bc it has more personality and gives you that mount feeling
I think Violet has more appealing exclusives for me. It's funny because my first Pokémon game was Blue when I was 10. 25 years later and I am feeling the same way.
I never ever usually base my choice on the legendary as you get it late game and I never use mine if I'm playing seriously - makes the game way too easy. But this changes everything
I like red over purple in general, but I don't like the way Koraidon run while riding on it lol I think I might go with Scarlet just because of the exclusives lol
I like the legendary Miraidon on violet better like the exclusives better on violet. But the hidden Pokémon in Scarlet is more of the vibe I like more natural look. But I like the professor better in Scarlet but like the school uniforms better in Violet. So I’m still on the fence might just get both but one at a time if I can’t decide lmao 😅
I'm so at odds... the paradox pokemons from scarlet look cooler, but I dont want to be stuck riding around in koraidon, since (while I love his design) it just looks stupid to me that he's walking around with a weel that doesn't work, so I prefer miraidon in that regard... goddammit
I have Legends of Arceus which takes place in the past as well so it's time I keep moving forward to the future and get Violet... It was a tough decision 😪 I just wish Sada was the professor though
Getting both games Gonna pull an All nighter gonna catch every pokemon i bump into gonna fight every trainer i see & pick up every item can't wait to play over the weekend 🙂
From all the information I’ve gathered but could be wrong here, it’s doesn’t really matter what version you pick as long as you have a friend who picks the opposite version as you both join each others game both version exclusive Pokémon will spawn. So it’s really just what legend you wanna ride and also those two armour Pokémon.
My Niece is old enough where she loves playing Pokémon now, beat Shield without my help. So I gave her first choice and she said she wanted Scarlet. Sooo looks like I’m getting Violet which I am totally okay with!!
i bought both. i’m already broke but i had to. i was so tired of missing out on some of my favorite stuff and this game has so much variety between the two i couldn’t not buy both
I was torn between the two bc I loveee hydregon but I liked violets legendary when I heard new form for hydregon in violet that instantly made up my mind for me 😂
I got Violet only because I figured I could just get the two dragon exclusives from scarlet in violet anyways just in a different form. I wasn’t into most of the other Pokémon exclusives from scarlet except the Donphan and armarouge.
I'm going to wait for reviews this time before deciding to get either, but I know if I did, it'd be Violet. I can't not go with the better color and cooler looking legendary, which is kind of how I've always decided each gen. Idc enough to let the profs sway the decision. I'm very jealous Scarlet gets Skuntank, but Mismagius is one of my favorite Pokémon and I could probably get a trade somehow
I already went on a whim ( my friends choice) and got Scarlet, and I'm actually pretty glad I did, though the appearance of the main legendary wasn't very impressive to me. I've never really been interested in the future, so Scarlet wins there too. As for professors, had to go for Sada, rock it queen! Outfits look more fun for Scarlet and orange/red is more my color. Seems like I won't be regretting my choice to listen to my friend 😊
Yes but they areshiny lock in their own games and you will only got shiny koraidon if you played violet because of the event like last year with shiny zacian and zamazenta !😁
@@swagatbiswal9263 infortunally yes… people who already played the game confirmed that in the game it will impossible to get legendaries in shiny !! And i’m afraid to get them it will be like in swsh ! In these versions you can only get shiny zacian in pokemon shield and the same for zamazenta !😭
It’s pretty much gonna come down to which vehicle Pokémon I like more but I can’t decide. I like scarlets look a little more (I think??) but I don’t like how he runs around even though he has wheels. If he didn’t have the wheels i would definitely get Scarlett. I probably will anyways but not sure. This video helped a lot clarify the differences though!
Violet. The futuristic vibe is really good, Mismagius and Dragapult are pokemon I absolutely love, Miraidon is great but Koraidon is good too. Gonna pick it up soon!
Thank you for putting this video up it was really helpfull I just subscribed hahaha I went with violet such a kick in the groin not being able to get tyranitar
Man I still don't know which version to pick. I prefer historic over futuristic, but i'm not a fan of koraidon's wheels and my friend is already getting scarlet. i love tyranitar way more than salamence, but t-tar gets a paradox form in violet (i hope it looks OK, all future ones being metallic is kinda meh imo) and violet has ceruledge. I wonder if there's going to be anything else different that is not covered in this video, because I find the pokemon company has been a bit secretive, which is really annoying if you want to make the right choice. Not to mention, we don't know if there will be differences in the DLC. Isle of Armor gave you a different rival depending on your version for gen8 and I preferred the sword rival, but I owned shield... Man idk what to do. Maybe check out the paradox pokemon on the day of release because im certain content creators will share them when the embargo is lifted.
@@twentyeight602 this is how I felt I prefer the color violet over scarlet as I find orange to be unappealing but I love Koridaon so much more! And robots and futuristic stuff isn’t really that interesting to me as much as ancient or prehistoric creatures, ordered scarlet since it was the only one available at target anyways
It's Koraidon (Co-Rye-Don)and Miraidon (Mi-Rye-Don) and Miraidon is in Violet not Koraidon easy way to remember Korai=past and Mirai=future in Japanese
You made a mistake when saying which box legendaries is going with which batch of exclusive Pokémon, and you also said your uniform changes with the season, assuming you meant versions.
I’m going back and forth 😭. I’m a fairy type trainer and Scarlet seems to have more fairy options with Jigglypuff and Misdreavus… I’m so torn on both!!
I’m slow getting this game but going for violet. The differences aren’t too different for me. I do like the female professor more on scarlett but not liking wearing orange for the whole game. I like purple that’s pretty much the tipping point for me. I think the futuristic style looks kinda cool too.
im glad im team violet, the only losses imo are future donphan and eiscue, everything else looks great. i also wish dreepy can be found early on, unlike in SWSH since i wanted to raise one on my team without trading
Well in your next playthrough when they open up Pokemon Home, you can raise a young one from an egg or transfer a young one from sword or shield. That's my plan at least, Dreepy is one of my favs.
I’m playing Scarlet first, I like the colors of *Miraidon* better. Also, paradox Salmence is my favorite looking paradox Pokémon. Edit: Kiraidon not Miraidon
I picked Violet. I think the legendary Pokémon looks better in design and color. And after seeing the video of the Exclusive Pokémon, I'm really glad I picked Violet now.
Dang I'll have to get scarlet for Drifloon. I like the legendary in scarlet more too, but I like the futuristic theming, the professor and Ceruladge from violet more so idk😥
Sorry I'm late but most people are buying violet so I recommend scarlet so then you can just find a lot of people using violet pokemon for trade since scarlet won't be as common
Easily violet for my choice. Although i much prefer the female prof tho over the guy lol BUT Violet has the better looking legendary and exclusives imo. Also i love anything high tech so it's futuristic themes is a huge bonus for me.
Scarlet is my choice since koraidon caught my eye (pls don’t be mad at me if I spelt it wrong) and also I love the ancient theme and also tyranitar is in the game so ye scarlet is mine
(MY OPINION ONLY ASWELL AS OTHERS THAT AGREE WITH ME) I perfer Violet, as the VE (Version exclusive) Pokemon are just so pretty and just genuinely stunning.
I'm getting Violet, because it seems easier to get the Aqua Breed Tauros which is my favorite water type in Gen 9 and that's the best game to choose Sprigatto which is currently my all-time favorite Pokemon. Because Ceruledge is a fire/ghost type I will choose Fuecoco in Scarlet to avoid having 2 fire/ghost types for my A and B teams.
Reasons I want Scarlett: ancient aesthetics, fake wheel dragon, silly-but-fun school design, general vibes. Reasons I want Violet: Professor Turo. It's honestly sad how hard I am waffling over this. 😂😂
I love everything about Violet.. Except for Professor Turo. I REALLY want to play Scarlet for Professor Sada, but pretty much every other aspect of the game I like Violet better.
