Pokémon Scarlet - US Version

Look, I get it, the game has bugs. But I just finished the entire game, unlike most of the people writing bad reviews, and this is hands down the best Pokemon game they've put out in a LONG time. I've been a fan of these games since the original Ruby and Sapphire, and if I'm being honest I've been really tired of all the gimmicks they keep introducing with every main series title like mega evolutions, gigantamaxing, and this time terastallizing. But it's just something I've come to accept as a fan and is mostly not too offensive, and becomes normal after the first like 2 hours of gameplay. The glitches and bugs people are currently using as ammo to review bomb this game are varied from person to person it seems but here was my personal experience. Firstly I played almost exclusively in handheld mode my entire playthrough, I'm not sure if that makes a difference in performance but thought I should mention it. The game has occasional shadows flashing between sunlight and shade when you're under a mountain or hill. The camera sometimes slightly clips through the ground so the bottom 1cm of your display can see under the world. I had trainers I beat do a quick 720 spin in place after I beat them. And once when I was connected to online and starting a raid I got stuck in a loading screen and had to close the game and restart it. Finally there were a few moments when my framerate slowed down for a minute or two, but usually didn't persist that long. Now the main caveat to all of those bugs, is that they occurred few and far between. Honestly I hardly noticed them most of the time, so maybe I got lucky and my copy was somehow more stable than others? To be clear I am not trying to apologize for Gamefreak by saying these bugs aren't worth mentioning because they are, and the complaint is valid, this game wasn't ready to be released just yet. However to say that something so small disqualifies an otherwise really impressive game is such an overcorrection it hurts. Like I mentioned, I have been a fan of the franchise for a very very long time. I was expecting to hate this game, but was just buying it to give it a fair chance. I didn't like Legends Archeus, I didn't like the Diamond and Pearl remakes, I didn't like Sword and Shield that much tbh. But having just completed the entire story of this game, I was genuinely amazed how much I liked this game. And even going into this game with admittedly negative bias working against it's odds, it still managed to win me over and completely flip my expectations on their head. Why? The story had ACTUAL EFFORT put into it, which any fan will tell you this franchise has needed DESPIRATELY for a long time. The characters were surprisingly well developed and you have a real plot and a real relationship with them as you progress. The open world is much more interesting and diverse than it was in Sword and Shield and Arceus. This open world actually makes me want to explore it more and see what I can find in every nook and cranny for items or more species of Pokemon I haven't run into yet. There are great quality of life changes like being able to retroactively remind your Pokemon of past moves at all times without restriction and on the fly. The economy is massively improved by giving you two currencies to earn and use interchangeably. As well as a host of new things to spend your money on instead of just 999x Full Restores, revives, and every kind of Pokeball once again. Honestly there are too many things I like about this game to type them all out here but suffice it to say in my opinion it's a joke to be writing this game off because of what are a handful of mostly minor graphical glitches. Glitches mind you that can and probably will be patched out at some point. I greatly appreciate the effort that was put into this game by Gamefreak because I recognize that this is legitimately the best work they've done on the main series in long time! And I hate that the people who worked hard on this game seeing this tidal wave of hate because the bugs didn't get ironed out and it tripped at the finish line. Aside from shipping early and giving a few bugs with their game I hope Gamefreak is proud of this title because they deserve to be. And if you're seriously out here writing hate reviews without having finished the game you're acting in bad faith, and didn't even bother giving the game a fair shot to begin with. I hope more than anything either the bugs get fixed soon or more people persist and see what this game really has to offer because right now it's heartbreaking seeing Gamefreak's work being put down for such a minor issue. TLDR: Yeah the game has bugs, but they're few and far between and very minor graphical glitches. The overall experience, gameplay, story, quality of life changes make this the best Pokemon title in years. If not for bugs this would be a 10/10 would play again.

Good game

Excellent product

I've been playing Pokemon since Red/Blue/Yellow (or in other words, the beginning) and I haven't had this much fun with a Pokemon game in a long time. Yes, it does have technical glitches. Yes, it could be more polished. But this is, hands down, the best story they have come up with yet for a main line game. I'll spend 1 or 2 days just exploring the land between making any meaningful leaps into the story line and I'm having a blast! I've changed up my Pokemon roster more time in this game than any other game. Normally by the second or third gym I have my team and I'm sticking with it because the grind of leveling up new Pokemon to gym level isn't my kind of fun. I've also never used so many boxes. So many Pokemon to catch, different tera forms, different levels. The character needs more clothing options. I've accumulated a lot of money in the game and have nothing to spend it on. Overall, very satisfied.

I have been playing the Pokémon franchise since 1998 and have beaten every mainline game. So it surprised me but I think Pokémon Scarlet might be my favorite game surpassing my love of Black 2 and Leaf Green. So let me explain. First the elephant in the room. Just because I love it doesn't mean it doesn't have flaws. The games frame rate chugs at moments, the pop up can be jarring and there are plenty of visual glitches I have seen online. Although my I haven't seen any visual glitches. There aren't many indoor environments strangely. Buuut all that being said. The sense of wonder of I get from the game is second to none. The Area Zero made my jaw drop and I got misty eyed as a Made In Abyss Fan. Paired with a surprisingly touching story and killer soundtrack. I honestly haven't felt this much wonder since my very first Pokémon game, Pokémon Red. I just want to live there. The new Pokémon designs are great, some are goofy others really cool. Clodsire, Klawf, Dondozo and Slither Wing are among my favorite Pokémon designs ever. Getting to go to any gym in any order you want is a dream come true. The lore of some Pokémon is down right fascinating. Ranked battles are a blast as the meta takes shape. Yes the game is flawed, but in all honesty it didn't effect my enjoyment. I'd give Pokémon Scarlet at 10 out of 10. -MickManga

Been playing Pokemon since I was a kid, now in my mid 20s. I've been playing every game as they come out since HeartGold and SoulSilver, was starting to get a bit disappointed with Pokemon's output for a bit there. Legends Arceus had me excited for what was to come. When this game came out and I began playing it, I was blown away. This is exactly what I imagined a 3D Pokemon game to be like as a kid. I think I actually started crying when I left the Academy and was given the freedom to go wherever, it's a dream come true. Also some of my favorite music work that's come out of the games in a long time, though I don't know how much of that is influenced by my love for the game Undertale/Deltarune and my long history with enjoying Toby Fox's greater music work as far back as when I got into Homestuck at age 12. However, it is not without it's bugs. While I personally just assumed that game breaking/altering bugs come with the territory of playing a Pokemon game at this point, it seems to be a shock to everyone else. I actually cannot think of one mainline Pokemon game without at least one massive game breaking and/or game altering bug, and in a lot of ways it's one of my favorite parts of the games? I am however thankful they've been patching things. If I were to have any complaint with the games in comparison with the rest of the more recent Pokemon games, I've got to admit I'm highly disappointed with the inability to change clothes and the lack of variety in accessories. Maybe the DLC adds more? I don't get paid for another week though so I can only speculate until then, haha. I also really desperately hope that the Pokemon Company stops overworking their workers. I would gladly wait 7-8 years for a new Pokemon game if it means that no one involved has to work long exhausting hours. Plus it's not like they a 30 year back catalog of beloved and much desired Pokemon games that are almost completely inaccessible to the current game generation (even more so since the closure of the 3DS e-Shop) and can arguably only be played via illegal means that they can't just port to the Nintendo Switch or anything like that.

Buenisimo

My grandson loved getting this game for his birthday.

Produto bem embalado, entrega dentro do prazo O produto em sí é o cartucho físico, mas se for jogar em um nintendo switch 2 ele baixará os pacotes de otimização para o jogo, não reparei se teria como jogar sem baixar esses pacotes.

Great game for somebody who hasn't played Pokémon since I was a kid. Maybe not worth the full price but on offer it's so fun

رائعة جدا وتعتبر نقلة نوعية بعالم اللعبة من ناحية التصميم والرسومات وأشكال البوكيمونات وكبر الخريطة وتغير التضاريس مع تغير نوع البوكيمون لعبتي المفضلة

Desde que se lo regalé a mi nieto de ocho años, no a dejado de jugarlo.

A entrega foi realizada dentro do prazo estipulado e chegou em perfeito estado. Já o produto em si é mais um jogo da Game Freak lançado de forma apressada no que resultou em um jogo mal otimizado e cheio de bugs - que estão sendo corrigidos ao longo do tempo. Para os fãs mais hardcores: há diversão aqui e a nova proposta de exploração ao estilo RPG funcionou bem, mas algumas pequenas melhorias seria o suficiente para tornar a experiência mais agradável. P.S: A única coisa referente ao produto que me deixou intrigado é que na descrição informava que seria enviado a versão Americana, porém, recebi a versão Européia...
