Critic Reviews
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet
Pokémon Scarlet & Violet's high points are among the series' best, but its lows, spanning across both bugs and design choices, are too egregious to ignore.
79%Pokemon Violet and Scarlet Are Some Truly Rough Gems
Explore a wide-open world at your own pace, battle and try to catch wild Pokemon, and encounter the Legendary Pokemon Koraidon in the Pokemon Scarlet game and Miraidon in the Pokemon Violet game. Pokemon Violet and Pokemon Scarlet certainly don’t put their best feet forward. They run rough. Visual downgrades are clear. But ultimately, once you settle in, they’re certainly full Pokemon games.
