Scarlet and violet are actually my comeback games since black and white. They feel so fresh and open. They run a little rough at times, but ill manage. same formel and better hardware and we are in for some good games in the future. Snap is just a feelgood game, love them both.
@@yellawood22I think people were just expecting it to have the latest games mechanics, just like every remake they made, or at least some new forms for the legendaries
Let’s Go and Legends Arceus r easily the best pokemon games on switch. Lets Go was a FANTASTIC remake and it looked AMAZING, they actually tried. Legends was an AMAZING new style never seen before Pokemon game. I loved the Japanese style of it, the catching pokemon, the running around. It was so fresh and new. Actual peak.
Every single iteration of Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow will always be great!! Generation 1 Kanto Region is just the goat! Been playing since it first came out in 1996
Pokémon scarlet and violet are some of the best pokemon games out there lmao. Sure they are slight frame drops and couple glitches but that literally doesn't take away from overall gameplay. Most fun I've had on a pokemon game since platinum
Yes I agree the only let’s go Pikachu and Eve are the best ones they need to recreate sapphire and emerald and the other one for the switch that be so awesome
Violet and Scarlet are actually the best pokemon games ive played in years. People judt coming at them because of performance issues. Luckily im using Ryujinx and at 60 fps violet looks and plays amazing.
Thank you for giving those 2 titles some much needed love!!! The Let's Go, Pikachu and Eevee games don't get enough love, and usually are the titles s**tted on by everyone, due to the lack of what previous Pokemon games had offered. Due to that, and because of how much I've always loved them, it's awesome seeing/hearing someone else say something positive about them for once. If I was a hardcore gamer, maybe I, too, would feel the same towards those games as others do, but I've always loved them, and especially the simplicity of them. To me, they were just flat out enjoyable, laid back, and a different style of Pokemon game. I love the mainline games, too, but those 2 games are very enjoyable as well.
Hey Max I love your videos! Scarlet and Violet are really good Pokémon games! They're just rough around the edges. Very unpolished:/ amazing game design though
Hey Max! It's me again! I have been loosely following you since I saw you at Limited Run Retail's grand opening, and I just wanted to hop in and say that I have seen some AMAZING growth here dude!!! You're killing it! Keep up the good (and hard) work, and don't let the haters get you down. I know how hard it is to consistently upload stuff, and haters only make it worse, but I don't wanna see you quit. Lastly, Pokémon! As a hardcore Pokémon fan I can't ignore discussion about it! I would say Scarlet and Violet don't suck as a whole, but they definitely need to work out a few wrinkles before they reach that Pokémon polish I am used to. I can definitely see where you're coming from though, and it's really disappointing to see them like this. Here's to hoping Game Freak can turn it around with patches and updates!
I appreciate BD&SP, SW&Sh, Let's Go P&E, S&V, and Legends: Arceus. As someone who never got to experience the Sinnoh games I appreciate what I'm getting.
I agree 100%! I really Hope they make another arceus style game because I had sooooooo much fun with it!!! And the graphics in let’s go were the best I’ve ever seen in Pokémon! Love how Pikachu stays on your shoulder so cute 🥹
Scarlet and Violet didn’t suck though. I grew up with gen 2 being released and played through the DS-3DS era pokemon. However, Scarlet and Violet plus their DLCs was AWESOME
Any game with gym battles and the elite 4 is a good pokemon game, I will play all those. But I did find sword to be to ez I never had to catch and train a super effective pokemon. I'm open to Arceus and ultra sun but for low low price.
13 reasons why BDSP are the WORST remakes of all time: 1. Faithfulness: Unlike other remakes, BDSP literally copy/pastes 90% of diamond/pearl(2006). You cannot copy almost everything from a 2006 game.. (Remember its a remake not a remaster!). Almost everything is copied: All dialogs, the storyline, the chibi art style, the national dex, old pokemon encounters and even the Poketch were copy & pasted to this game. Pokemon games have been improved in the past years and had many quality of life changes like 3D art style, overworld Pokemon encounters and reusable TMs. None of these changes were adapted to the game which is just sad. This game is too faithful and faithful sounds more like a excuse for lazyness. 2. Not-Platinum-Based: So they copy & pasted 90% from the old Sinnoh game but not based on Platinum? Diamond & Pearl had several weaknesses and Platinum fixed many of them and included many Quality of Life changes. Here are some Platinum improvements over Diamond/Pearl: It extends the storyline with additional content, new dialogs, new characters like Charon and a new map Distortion world (loved it). The rival was a bit too weak in Diamond/Pearl which was fixed in Plat. The Poketch has a reverse Button. It has the battle frontier. And finally: the Sinnoh dex which was baaad in Dia/Pearl was fixed. The bad sinnoh dex in dia/pearl has only very few Fire Pokemon (very weird). Gym leaders were forced to use weird mons in the main game like Electric gym leader using Octillery or IceType gym leader using Medicham (WTF? Despite Sinnoh having enough Ice/Electric mons) and also many sinnoh mons were restricted to the postgame. Thats means many of the favourite sinnoh mons cannot be used in your team for the main story. But Platinum fixed this issue and created a NEW sinnoh dex which fixed all these issues which made the main story like a sinnoh game. ALL of these great changes of Platinum where NOT included in BDSP. This means BDSP uses the OLD sinnoh dex, OLD dialogs, OLD storyline, NO new character like Charon, NO distortion world and NO battle frontier. That makes BDSP a worse Sinnoh remake than Platinum which was released in 2008. (Imagine a 2008 DS game of the same Region beats you in ALL aspects. WTF) 3. EXP-Share & Friendship-System: One of the most hated features is the EXP-Share system which often leads to WAY more exp than in the past games. In my opinion, the EXP-Share is not too bad. BUT diamond/pearl were not designed to be played with the new EXP-Share system. So if you include an EXP-Share system, you have to increase all levels of the pokemon (from opponent). But they didnt which makes the difficulty of this game too easy.Basically, my whole team was too oveleveled. And the friendship-system is the worst luck-based system i ever saw. A feature that increases the Critical hit-chance,removes paralysis, lets me dodge 100% accurate moves and even lets me survive moves with 1HP. WTF did you smoke gamefreak? And the worst is that, you cannot make any of these optional. Because of that many players who love to do a nuzzlock in Sinnoh, prefer the old DS games. 4. No Innovation: This game not only copy & pastes the majority of its content, it adds nothing new to the game. Lets review some good remakes: HeartGold/SoulSilver (HG/SS) were Gen 2 remakes and included some storyline from Crystal and added many new stuff like the pokeathlon, battle frontier (from sinnoh), gen 1 map/storyline, a complete national dex and the pokewalker. HG/SS were not copy & pasted, but actually remade the game and added good new stuff. Also Alpha ruby&omega saphire (ORAS) have new changes like new art-style , new designs for Team magma/aqua, new Mega-forms, new Primal forms, changes to dialogs and storyline and the complete national dex. BDSP on the other hand does not provide any kind of major change in the game which makes this game really boring. It does have a new Underground which has overworld pokemon, but that is nothing special for 2022 and the ramanas park was neat but nothing too exciting. 5. Underground/Super-Contest: The old underground allowed to create your own living room with furnitures and set traps to troll friends online. Both were removed for a statue system which is really boring. Collecting statues and the effects of the statues are really disapointing. The Super-Contest used to be a fun-mode where you had many different options and varities and had to have good reflexes to do the correct moves at the correct time. Now all you have to do is Press A at the correct time and use 1 attack. That makes this mode so boring and disapointing. I mean, was it really that hard to let the player press like 4 different buttons instead of just 'A'?? 6. Art-Style: Many of us expected a modern review of Sinnoh in a 3D human like Art-style. But they decided to go for the Chibi-Art-Style. Everyone has different tastes but in my opinion the Chibi-Art-Style ruins many serious moments of the story line of this game, especially vs team galactic. It feels like all the emotions of the characters were removed. The reason why it was used in Diamond/Pearl was because of the limited hardware. In my opinion the Chibi-Art-Style waas the wrong decision and does not suit a switch game at all. 7. Only Gen 4: BDSP has a national dex which includes the pokemon from Gen 1-4 which is basically the same as Diamond/Pearl. As a player who would have loved to see at least some Pokemon from Gen 5-8 in Sinnoh, i am very disappointed. At least some Pokemon post Gen4, or some new forms or at least add Sylveon in this game. Not even mega-forms were included in this game. The fact that 95% of the megas are from Gen1-4 and the underground being the perfect place to grind the mega-stones, makes this decision even more disapointing. The reason why diamond/pearl was limited to Gen 1-4 was because there werent any other new pokemon. The reason why BDSP limited the game to Gen 1-4 is because of lazyness.. 8. PVP: On of the worst things in this game is everything arround PVP. The worst disrespect a main series pokemon game can get, is when GameFreak calls that all the competitive tournaments including the world championship will not take place in BDSP (WTF?). Unlike Sword/Shield, you have no option to search for PVP matches which makes it way harder to find battles. But the worst thing is the grind for a PvP team: TMs are not reusable (WHY?!). For some important TMs like Earthquake, you have to grind for 80BP (WTF. Thats a lot of Grind). Also you cannot catch pokemon with hidden abilities except those from poke radar. To get the hidden ability you have to grind for the ability patch for 200BP (WTF. Grind competitive to create a competitive. Nice system). By putting important PVP items behind such ridiculously high grind walls, it makes creating a PVP team disgusting. 9. Events: The events were also copy & pasted from Diamond/Pearl. Same Shaymin event, same Darkrai event. And other events are only accesible if you bought other main series pokemon game (Why..). And finally some garbage "events" which include some useless statues. Meanwhile, the 3 year old SW/SH getting better and innovative events like new PVP cups/tournaments and some legendary shinies. In my opinion the events in BDSP are disapointing. 10. Bugs/Glitches: Holy Moly! This game had so many bugs and glitches! You dont even need hacks, when the game itself has to many glitches. Many of them where completely broken. Many Pokemon clone glitches and item dupe glitches ruined the game. You could even get infinity money, create your own shinies (WTF), make your pokemon 6IV and let any Pokemon learn any move. I used to be in a discord for trading in BDSP and because of the glitches, the trade market was only about getting shiny 6IVs etc. Not to forget to mention the soft locks which made you restart the whole game which can happen for example in the ice gym. Usually every games has a few bugs. But this one had too many and too many game breaking glitches. A very hyped game like this shouldnt be developed by a 3rd party company.. But Gamefreak had other plans.. 11. Controls: The controls of this game feel weird and uncomfortable. Characters move in a grid which looks so weird during the storyline. The pokemon who follow me often block me in a bad way. The underground has many inivisible walls which makes moving in some rooms horrible. And finally the control with the cycle are the worst. The cycle in pokemon games are a beloved feature but in this game.. It feels so uncomfortable moving with the cycle, I sometimes even prefer walking. 12. Standards: A 2021 game should adapt the standards from the latest games (Sword 2019). The BDSP-standard isnt nearly as good as Sword/Shield. Many items, many attack moves, renewable TMs, dynamax, new pokemon, old moves without heart scales, more customization,max Raids or ranked battle stadium. None of the mentioned were adapted into this game -> BIG Downgrade for 2021 pokemon standards! 13. Price: Dia/pearl/Platinum: 40$ and Copy/Paste BDSP with Bugs:60$ -> Bruh.. Conclusion: It feels like GameFreak didnt want to do a Sinnoh remake but wanted to milk some money by releasing the highly demanded Sinnoh remake. The fact that, they hired a 3rd party company who never developed a major game, only supports this theory. Not forget to mention that, BDSP had a giant day one patch which was essential to enjoy the game. The fact that they released Legends Arceus almost 1-2 months after BDSP release also supports the theory, that they didnt care at all for this remake. Because of the release of Legends Arceus, the hiring of ILCA, the amount of glitches, the boring events, the exclusion of VGC, the 0 Innovation in this game and the fact that the majority of the game is copy & paste of a 2006 game (Dia/Pearl) which is worse than a 2008 Game (Platinum), makes this game the worst remake of all time in my opinion.
I only have lets go Pikachu and bd & sp. I really like lets go because its a remake of gen 1 but i hate the no battleling wild pokemon to catch them. Since i never played the gen 4 games back in the day i like them so far and they seem great. I guess ill have to play the original diamond and pearl to compare and contrast with bd & sp
Thanks I was overwhelmed with how many Pokemon games there were for the Nintendo switch I'm gonna check out the ones you recommended for me and my son I grew up playing and watching Pokemon and my son who is 5 also loves Pokemon so we play Pokemon go and I still play my Pikachu edition Gameboy color
Bro New Pokémon Snap is so much better I played it launch day and it’s beautiful, crazy how gamefreak can’t make a working or pretty game but the company who worked mostly on New Pokémon Snap (Can’t remember their name lmao) made a fantastic one
I respect ur opinion on the subject. Not here to argue it but i personally love scarlet and violet as a player of all gens starting at 1 scarlet and violet has made my list as best yet sure not my personal fav and its full of bugs but truly broke the mold and set a new standard for 3d pokemon and pokemon in general
Let’s go eevee was my comeback game after red & blue (im that old). And….i don’t see much of a difference from the two other than the major graphics overhaul. I don’t know if I should be disappointed after a few decades of progress of the franchise. But I guess it’s good that the current generation can enjoy the story I had when I was their age. In today’s lingo it’s “mid” for me. 😅
Definetly i Love Pokemon lets Go Pikachu j played IT through (completing the Pokédex) in the week of ITS Release and i Love arceus . Arceus is the Art of Pokemon which i wished me to Play for years cause IT dont took you by the hand ITS Harder than the other Pokemon Games. ITS the First Game where i Love to Sneak around and Catch a Lot of Pokemon, grinding Materials for crafting and i think i was for over 15 hours in the First area. There i found at the beginning of the Game my First shiny and IT was the Evolution of geodude 😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗 arceus is in my opinion the best. So Here my Ranking 1 arceus 2 lets Go Pikachu, evee 3 sword and shield 4 Pokemon mystery dungeon 5 Scarlet and Violet 6 Pokemon Tekken 7 Pearl and diamond I have all of them and completet all and i played all of them for over 100 hours. In arceus i think i played for over 160 hours 😅
S/V are the best games since US/UM. There was an actual challenge to the game. Sword is by far the worst pokemon game, the challenge is non existent and being gifted wrapped statistically the strongest pokemon (at the time) was the icing on the cake.
Thank you!! I have Pokémon let’s go Oka chi and it was the best for me as a Pokémon fan since 99!!! ( pokeball plus included) I was thinking about getting scarlet/ violet or arceus .. if I better play violet now and then arceus ( not to be disappointed afterwards) hehe
That’s sounds pretty legit. I can’t get past the fact that I think most reviewers are trying to be edgy and have hot takes. This seems like a pretty normal review. Appreciate just trying to find a game for my kid lol
i only have sword and arceus since i didnt get into pokemon games, had all of them on the 3ds and never played them but loved sword. i love arceus too but havent really played it much but played sword a lot. maybe its just because im not used to the other ones but i think sword is amazing.
I loved sword n shield scarlet and violet are just blurry games lol they look so stiff the battle animations are gone now and it looks like a prequel to sword and shield lol the open world is just a huge soulless wasteland :0
Yeah it's sad to see pokemon games just not improving and as the games are getting released the problems are getting more and more notable the franchise still suffers from the same issues they had since the handheld era and it's sad to see zelda being the best it's ever been whilest pokemon is still in 1997
Can anyone recommend me one or should I stay away. little context: I loved pokemon as a kid/teen. born in 89 so I was there for the boom. favorite of all time, pokemon yellow. I felt fatigued and done with the series around gen 5. I saw the starters and the protagonists and they looked too goofy and off set me. kinda miss it now after all these years but so many changes to typing, items and overall strats making it feel a bit overwhelming. A y input from hardcore fans is appreciated.

I love shiny hunting in violet

Scarlet and violet do not suck, there in the right step games, they were keeping up with a growing fan base and tackled friendship bullying and grief.
They need to fix the bugs sense in most cases thats always a focus in pokemon games.
Story doesn’t make up for the game sucking

True but that can change. Hopefully he has someone he knows IRL who can help introduce him to diet/training.
Pokémon Arceus is my fav Pokémon game for the switch. So much different then what we grew up with. I loved that about the game
New snap is criminally underrated
Its a big step up from the n64 version
Personally I like sword and shield cause of their Pokémon and system to fight
Let’s Go and Legends Arceus r easily the best pokemon games on switch. Lets Go was a FANTASTIC remake and it looked AMAZING, they actually tried.

Mystery dungeon is so slepped on its wild. You didn’t even mention it here. Its the best game out of all of these.
Omg i love mystery team dx that shit was fire af
Scarlet and Violet had arguably the best storyline in any pokemon game. Very emotional feel to it
💀💀💀💀💀
My only problem with Pokémon Scarlet and Violet is that it doesn’t run so smoothly, it glitches, and it holds your hand
Like they said before I rather for them to take a chance and take a different approach instead of making them with the same gameplay formulas.
@@nicolasshepherd2355nothing was wrong with old pokemon formula tho lol. All the best pokemon games are the old ones and remakes…

Generation 1 Kanto Region is just the goat!
Been playing since it first came out in 1996
I’ve played all of them and in my opinion Pokémon sword and shield was the best game

Sure they are slight frame drops and couple glitches but that literally doesn't take away from overall gameplay. Most fun I've had on a pokemon game since platinum
bro go watch the vid beatemups made it will change ur mind
It really does glitches out
bro one of the best? 💀💀💀💀💀 the first 5 gens are way better than scarlet and violet
You have to be trolling or really young
@@imbetterthanyoutfohandimgo28 Neither. Knock some sense into your head. Just because someone likes a recent Pokémon game doesn’t make them “young”.
how do call your self a pokemon fan when you say pokemon scarlet and violet suck same as sword and shield
Yes I agree the only let’s go Pikachu and Eve are the best ones they need to recreate sapphire and emerald and the other one for the switch that be so awesome
Great video, don’t see a lot of high quality content like this these days.

How do u get 60fps with the emu havent pushed mine yet stuck with 30
Couldn't agree more

Why this guy look like he about to say Pokémon Pinball was better than Scarlet and Violet

I love how anyone that hates the recent Pokémon overlooks all the good things about them such as insanely better graphics and the open world features
i think Pokemon mystery dungeon is my favorit game i just want to see gen 7 gen 8 and gen 9 as a choose charator
I appreciate BD&SP, SW&Sh, Let's Go P&E, S&V, and Legends: Arceus. As someone who never got to experience the Sinnoh games I appreciate what I'm getting.
Why everyone hate on bdsp? They’re actually so fun and a fantastic recreation of the old ones
Really couldn’t guess who he voted for
I agree 100%! I really Hope they make another arceus style game because I had sooooooo much fun with it!!! And the graphics in let’s go were the best I’ve ever seen in Pokémon! Love how Pikachu stays on your shoulder so cute 🥹
We need pokemon ranger and detective Pikachu
Bro I LOVED the Ranger games. But unfortunately it would be kinda hard to do on the switch imo
Scarlet and Violet didn’t suck though. I grew up with gen 2 being released and played through the DS-3DS era pokemon. However, Scarlet and Violet plus their DLCs was AWESOME

It feels like all the emotions of the characters were removed. The reason why it was used in Diamond/Pearl was because of the limited hardware. In my opinion the Chibi-Art-Style waas the wrong decision and does not suit a switch game at all.
7. Only Gen 4: BDSP has a national dex which includes the pokemon from Gen 1-4 which is basically the same as Diamond/Pearl. As a player who would have loved to see at least some Pokemon from Gen 5-8 in Sinnoh, i am very disappointed. At least some Pokemon post Gen4, or some new forms or at least add Sylveon in this game. Not even mega-forms were included in this game. The fact that 95% of the megas are from Gen1-4 and the underground being the perfect place to grind the mega-stones, makes this decision even more disapointing. The reason why diamond/pearl was limited to Gen 1-4 was because there werent any other new pokemon. The reason why BDSP limited the game to Gen 1-4 is because of lazyness..
8. PVP: On of the worst things in this game is everything arround PVP. The worst disrespect a main series pokemon game can get, is when GameFreak calls that all the competitive tournaments including the world championship will not take place in BDSP (WTF?). Unlike Sword/Shield, you have no option to search for PVP matches which makes it way harder to find battles. But the worst thing is the grind for a PvP team: TMs are not reusable (WHY?!). For some important TMs like Earthquake, you have to grind for 80BP (WTF. Thats a lot of Grind). Also you cannot catch pokemon with hidden abilities except those from poke radar. To get the hidden ability you have to grind for the ability patch for 200BP (WTF. Grind competitive to create a competitive. Nice system). By putting important PVP items behind such ridiculously high grind walls, it makes creating a PVP team disgusting.
9. Events: The events were also copy & pasted from Diamond/Pearl. Same Shaymin event, same Darkrai event. And other events are only accesible if you bought other main series pokemon game (Why..). And finally some garbage "events" which include some useless statues. Meanwhile, the 3 year old SW/SH getting better and innovative events like new PVP cups/tournaments and some legendary shinies. In my opinion the events in BDSP are disapointing.
10. Bugs/Glitches: Holy Moly! This game had so many bugs and glitches! You dont even need hacks, when the game itself has to many glitches. Many of them where completely broken. Many Pokemon clone glitches and item dupe glitches ruined the game. You could even get infinity money, create your own shinies (WTF), make your pokemon 6IV and let any Pokemon learn any move. I used to be in a discord for trading in BDSP and because of the glitches, the trade market was only about getting shiny 6IVs etc. Not to forget to mention the soft locks which made you restart the whole game which can happen for example in the ice gym. Usually every games has a few bugs. But this one had too many and too many game breaking glitches. A very hyped game like this shouldnt be developed by a 3rd party company.. But Gamefreak had other plans..
11. Controls: The controls of this game feel weird and uncomfortable. Characters move in a grid which looks so weird during the storyline. The pokemon who follow me often block me in a bad way. The underground has many inivisible walls which makes moving in some rooms horrible. And finally the control with the cycle are the worst. The cycle in pokemon games are a beloved feature but in this game.. It feels so uncomfortable moving with the cycle, I sometimes even prefer walking.
12. Standards: A 2021 game should adapt the standards from the latest games (Sword 2019). The BDSP-standard isnt nearly as good as Sword/Shield. Many items, many attack moves, renewable TMs, dynamax, new pokemon, old moves without heart scales, more customization,max Raids or ranked battle stadium. None of the mentioned were adapted into this game -> BIG Downgrade for 2021 pokemon standards!
13. Price: Dia/pearl/Platinum: 40$ and Copy/Paste BDSP with Bugs:60$ -> Bruh..
Conclusion: It feels like GameFreak didnt want to do a Sinnoh remake but wanted to milk some money by releasing the highly demanded Sinnoh remake. The fact that, they hired a 3rd party company who never developed a major game, only supports this theory. Not forget to mention that, BDSP had a giant day one patch which was essential to enjoy the game. The fact that they released Legends Arceus almost 1-2 months after BDSP release also supports the theory, that they didnt care at all for this remake. Because of the release of Legends Arceus, the hiring of ILCA, the amount of glitches, the boring events, the exclusion of VGC, the 0 Innovation in this game and the fact that the majority of the game is copy & paste of a 2006 game (Dia/Pearl) which is worse than a 2008 Game (Platinum), makes this game the worst remake of all time in my opinion.
Yeah, no ones reading that 💀
Let's Go certainly were better than BDSP but by no means they were good.
i think lets go pichachu was okay but it cost me $93 canadian so it wasnt worth it but i got sword used for 50 so i was happy
I only have lets go Pikachu and bd & sp. I really like lets go because its a remake of gen 1 but i hate the no battleling wild pokemon to catch them. Since i never played the gen 4 games back in the day i like them so far and they seem great. I guess ill have to play the original diamond and pearl to compare and contrast with bd & sp
Thanks I was overwhelmed with how many Pokemon games there were for the Nintendo switch I'm gonna check out the ones you recommended for me and my son I grew up playing and watching Pokemon and my son who is 5 also loves Pokemon so we play Pokemon go and I still play my Pikachu edition Gameboy color
Bro New Pokémon Snap is so much better I played it launch day and it’s beautiful, crazy how gamefreak can’t make a working or pretty game but the company who worked mostly on New Pokémon Snap (Can’t remember their name lmao) made a fantastic one
Bandai Namco is the company!
I think the only let down was gen 4 remakes. The best imo is Scarlett and violet and legends
Scarlet and violet were good comeback games dude you don’t realize that and they were good games
I LOVE LEGEND OF ARCEUS😭 it’s soooo underrated
Dude, scarlet in violet were amazing. What do you mean? Those were the worst like the bess! How do you see those were the worst
I respect ur opinion on the subject. Not here to argue it but i personally love scarlet and violet as a player of all gens starting at 1 scarlet and violet has made my list as best yet sure not my personal fav and its full of bugs but truly broke the mold and set a new standard for 3d pokemon and pokemon in general
I really enjoyed bdsp and let's go.
The DS Pokémon games are just sublime, don’t think that switch is ever gonna surpass them… just think about it, hg ss, bw2, oras, and ultra SM
I have to agree with you. Let's go and Legends are really the only good main series pokemon switch games
Let’s go eevee was my comeback game after red & blue (im that old). And….i don’t see much of a difference from the two other than the major graphics overhaul. I don’t know if I should be disappointed after a few decades of progress of the franchise. But I guess it’s good that the current generation can enjoy the story I had when I was their age. In today’s lingo it’s “mid” for me. 😅
SnV are just getting hate for no reason they are pretty fun definitely going to give so much nostalgia after 10 years
That oculus behind looks kinda sus🌚
Bro said let’s go Pikachu is better than Scarlet and Violet.
Definetly i Love Pokemon lets Go Pikachu j played IT through (completing the Pokédex) in the week of ITS Release and i Love arceus . Arceus is the Art of Pokemon which i wished me to Play for years cause IT dont took you by the hand ITS Harder than the other Pokemon Games. ITS the First Game where i Love to Sneak around and Catch a Lot of Pokemon, grinding Materials for crafting and i think i was for over 15 hours in the First area. There i found at the beginning of the Game my First shiny and IT was the Evolution of geodude 😍😍😍😍🤗🤗🤗🤗 arceus is in my opinion the best. So Here my Ranking
1 arceus
2 lets Go Pikachu, evee
3 sword and shield
4 Pokemon mystery dungeon
5 Scarlet and Violet
6 Pokemon Tekken
7 Pearl and diamond
I have all of them and completet all and i played all of them for over 100 hours. In arceus i think i played for over 160 hours 😅
S/V are the best games since US/UM. There was an actual challenge to the game. Sword is by far the worst pokemon game, the challenge is non existent and being gifted wrapped statistically the strongest pokemon (at the time) was the icing on the cake.
Thank you!! I have Pokémon let’s go Oka chi and it was the best for me as a Pokémon fan since 99!!! ( pokeball plus included) I was thinking about getting scarlet/ violet or arceus .. if I better play violet now and then arceus ( not to be disappointed afterwards) hehe
Get ARCEUS bro
Ive got GameCube and Gameboy player for all my Pokémon stuff 😊
That’s sounds pretty legit. I can’t get past the fact that I think most reviewers are trying to be edgy and have hot takes. This seems like a pretty normal review. Appreciate just trying to find a game for my kid lol
I liked scarlet and violet :)
Let's go is waaay too baby to be the best. It's amazing if you have little ones or want to introduce someone to pokemon, though.
i only have sword and arceus since i didnt get into pokemon games, had all of them on the 3ds and never played them but loved sword. i love arceus too but havent really played it much but played sword a lot. maybe its just because im not used to the other ones but i think sword is amazing.
Y’all are bogus af doggin this guy. Let the man live, he’s putting himself out there and y’all can’t do a thing but hate.
If it was a console not handheld add buy one with stadium being out for it now
Pokémon Violet was not that bad in my opinion, sure they are a little flawed but that didn’t stop me from enjoying it.
1. Mystery dungeon
2. Lets go Pikachu
3. Legends Arceus
I loved Pokémon violet I was so quick and especially very cute
I loved sword n shield scarlet and violet are just blurry games lol they look so stiff the battle animations are gone now and it looks like a prequel to sword and shield lol the open world is just a huge soulless wasteland :0
You trippin bro, Pokemon Scarlet Pokemon violet is amazing
I want some mechanics like Sun had.... I want to be able to play with the pokemon
Yeah it's sad to see pokemon games just not improving and as the games are getting released the problems are getting more and more notable the franchise still suffers from the same issues they had since the handheld era and it's sad to see zelda being the best it's ever been whilest pokemon is still in 1997
Agreed. Like the collection ❤
My dad is giving me legends of arceus for my birthday im happy to play that!
Legends Arceus and New Pokemon snap are my favorites. I have violet but haven't started it. I'm currently busy with Alpha Sapphire and Ultra Moon.
trust me pokemon violet is really good it's my fav pokemon game
You can’t call it trash when it’s new and making new pokemon
Let's be realistic Gameboy original RED, YELLOW.. game boy colour Silver, Gold.. 3DS sun and moon. And switch Arceus
I agree that pikachu and eevee are *AMAZING* but I loved the new games
Pokken is so underrated it isn't even funny
If they could make a Pokémon Arceus open world ONLINE with your friends that would be DOPE😈😈😈
My cut off for legendary pokemon games in gen 4.
Man this guy actually said the suck I bet he has never even played those or just so bad that he hates the game.
I want diamond and sord
Scarlet and violet are good but they are very buggy
My favourite pokemon game for Nintendo switch is pokemon shield. I love the game. For me, he’s the best game
Bro get a real job 💀 I know I’m a kid but still!!!
I love scarlet and violet
Keep up the good work man don’t let these guys discourage u
if vs was on a more powerful system it would be beat game
Can anyone recommend me one or should I stay away. little context: I loved pokemon as a kid/teen. born in 89 so I was there for the boom. favorite of all time, pokemon yellow. I felt fatigued and done with the series around gen 5. I saw the starters and the protagonists and they looked too goofy and off set me. kinda miss it now after all these years but so many changes to typing, items and overall strats making it feel a bit overwhelming. A y input from hardcore fans is appreciated.
Yeap Pokémon legend arceus the best for me they need to make another one like this one with more new Pokémon
I like the complete opisite
Saying that one month after release
Let’s go is just gen 1 own tho
I wish I can play or even a try a real Nintendo switch 😢
If you say that these games are actually good I will buy them! I always play the games you suggest 😁
Im three hours into Arceus and I find it extremely boring. I chose it as my first Pokémon game. Am I missing something? Should I try another one?
