      Literally every release has had major issues. Let’s Go was easily the best looking game they’ve released but was a really watered down gameplay experience of gen 1 for the third time. SwSh was just hot garbage in every aspect. PLA looked like someone painted all the landscapes with feces and again had really watered down gameplay with simplified battling, no held items, natures, IVs, EVs, or abilities. ScVi is probably the buggiest release I’ve played on Switch and it looks like something that should have been on the GameCube in 2004. The Switch era for Pokemon has been SO sad.

    I’ll never forget wanting to get back into a mainline Pokémon game since Gen 6, and I haven’t taken a game seriously since Gen 3. So I buy Violet on release only for it to be a buggy, laggy, just overall mess of a game. And then to make things even worse… a few months later, Metroid Prime Remastered came out and just absolutely curb-stomped the latest Pokémon games. Far more detailed graphics, 60fps, one of the few Nintendo games that isn’t retailing for $60. Before that game, I thought maybe the Switch hardware is getting too old. But while it is old, good development can get around those limitations and provide a quality product. Scarlet and Violet were not that.
    To say I was disappointed was the understatement of the decade.

    I think what hurts me more as a Pokémon fan was that for almost 2 years now, the Pokémon company has been very cocky with the constant reports from Nintendo,Gamefreak and the Pokémon community about the status of both Scarlet and Violet. For the past 2 Pokémon day's in February the Pokémon company has always started with the following statement:
    We hope that everyone is "still enjoying both Scarlet and Violet." We did receive 2 different public apologies,1 from Nintendo and 1 from Gamefreak about the status of Scarlet and Violet.

    One of the funniest accidental "exploits" I found in Pokemon Sword/Shield was with the legendary raid cave thing in the Crown Tundra dlc. You see... You don't actually have to win the opening battle in order to access the DLC. And you dont need to win any fights to gain access to the legendary cave.
    Also, all Dynamax pokemon can be caught with normal pokeballs if you win, you can't fail the catch as far as I know. Also also, since it provides you pokemon to fight with, you can show up to the DLC with your starter and a Rookidee, let the dude curbstomp you, then get a full team of level 50 pokemon, maybe even a legendary or two. Then complete the main storyline of the base game like the overpowered scrub you are.
    Was that intentional? Almost surely not. Did I abuse the hell out of it? Yes.

    I grew up during the hype when gen 1 first came out and started to lose interest during mid gen 2. I honestly don't like the excessive amount of Pokemon. Some new ones were cool but I found it ridiculous to see some pokemon are food-like or just useless. Then with the Switch seeing how well it was selling, I figured I might try to get back into again with S/V. I was sadden by the performance but that didn't let me down. I just feel that if I want to really get competitive and some pokemon aren't found in this region, seems like a pain to try because I would have to had follow up on all other games to get whatever missing pokemon I would like. Sure the DLC helps bring in many pokemon from previous games but feels like money grab for me.

People say the game is sped up but I genuinely never noticed a difference between the two.

    The state of the pokemon IP saddens me. I fell off after gen 3, and resumed with gen 8. Sword and shield were fun, and legends arceus was a blast throughout the pandemic.
    However after playing through scarlet and violet i lost that whole spark of enjoyment for pokemon.
    Regrettably I went into each pokemon presents hoping for something far more than DLCs and updates to the garbage mobile games.
    I felt particularly burned when gameboy, and gba were added to NSO and 3 pokemon presentations later, not a single gameboy gen was annouced whatsoever.
    How the hell are we getting gameboy emulators on NSO, yet the og games synonamous with gameboy are MIA. Tpc can shove their remakes, along with their DLCs
    Reflecting on how much of a slog mainline pokemon has become after replaying violet, and returming to gen 8s various games, has cemented my apathy towards pokemon. I find the IP as a whole to be unenjoyable
    I cant say whether things will change that actually shift my perspective, but i will have to wait and see.

    And wow what a fall. Gen 9 is broken, and they released paid DLC that actively made the game perform even worse, and Poketubers kept telling people to eat it all up! I completely stopped watching Pokemon videos on TH-cam, it got absolutely unbearable. This one I randomly stumbled upon. The Poke Ball that came with Let's Go is insanely uncomfortable, so it's definitely better using the drift-cons, I think it was kinda dumb not having an option for normal catching so the pro controller worked properly for it. A lot less people would've been upset. From there the problems just, grew. Sword and Shield had fun, but the online scene was quickly filled with hack raids and shiny max'd out mons people just, bought on ebay. That being said, it was still fun and the DLC was nice, though a bit overpriced for the content.
    After that it just got laughable. Disappearing shadows, 10-15fps, random collision issues, pop-in, and then they made DLC for THAT, and made it expensive, while the DLC actively broke the game more. What the actual hell happened?? They loved using the "We'd have to remake and reanimate them all!" excuse while putting in basically 3DS mons too. The romhack community isn't much an option for playing fan content lately either, A LOT of unwanted toxicity goes on for no reason from kids on their Android phones.
