REVIEW: Is Pokémon Violet the game fans wanted? 621r2q

Before starting this analysis, it must be said that pokemon violet it does have its problems, and they will be discussed during the analysis. After the announcement of Pokémon Sword and Shield, the one who writes to you was already quite excited to play on Nintendo Switch and enjoy the game on TV. But the game didn't live up to all my expectations and, despite everything, it wasn't very fun. 1665h

When Pokemon Scarlet and Violet were announced, now with a huge open world to explore, I was excited again. However, the bad experience with the previous game came to mind. But now, after having spent many hours running around for palea, I can say that this is the best game ever made for the franchise, despite the technical problems.

A multitude of problems 1i64m

In general, pokemon violet could be so much better. The feeling it gives is that the graphic part was kind of left out, and they did everything to make the game functional at best. Still, it's quite common to see characters appearing out of nowhere, Pokémon disappearing, terrible or poorly crafted textures, and many other things.

The drop in frames, depending on the area, is alarming, making gameplay virtually impossible. This is when no errors occur and the game closes by itself. Fortunately, there's an auto-save system after we've done various actions, like ing a Pokemon center, so it's not that much of a problem.

In most open world games, one of the best things you can do is climb a high hill and enjoy the scenery, but that doesn't happen in pokemon violet🇧🇷 Despite bringing several of the elements that make up the scenarios, everything is very simple, and even ugly. But when we get closer, it gets better and prettier.

It's hard to accept that a franchise as big as Pokémon has released a game in these conditions, but if we look beyond the points made, it's easy to understand. So let's get to the good stuff game.

Paldea is based in Spain and brings many elements from that country, especially in its main city, Mesagoza. In addition, there are several other smaller cities to visit, with different biomes and also other things to do. Everything observed in the game can be achieved, especially in the course of the story.

One of the great highlights of pokemon violet is to present the Pokémon walking freely through the fields. You can find them sleeping under trees, swimming in the lake and it is fascinating to see them running away from your presence, or towards you, looking for a fight. One of the scenes that most impressed me was when I was in the water and saw a group of Gyarados swimming near Dratinis. The scene was so beautiful that, for a moment, I felt like I was 12 years old again playing Pokémon Red.

And that's the big hit pokemon violet🇧🇷 The game manages to bring everything that fans of the franchise have always dreamed of and even demanded, but never received. Now we can finally heal a little of that childhood dream. I confess that for a moment I failed to capture some Pokémon that were in groups, all this so as not to “destroy” the habitat of the animals. Kind of silly, I know.

Above I gave the example of water, but walking in the desert and seeing the Earth Pokémon there, or a Jigglypuff flying due to the strong wind, or a Magikarp that ended up leaving the river for whatever reason, were great moments. It's those things that bring a depth we've always dreamed of, and finally received.

even though pokemon violet being released simultaneously with the other version, the Scarlet, know that they are slightly different stories. In addition, there are several Pokémon exclusive to each version, which will force you to exchange with friends or find a kind stranger who can help you.

Another difference we also have is at school. In Purple we attended Uva Academy, while in Scarlet let's go to Naranja Academy. The Professor also changes, with Professor Turo in the first, and Professor Sada in the second. Besides, it's all very similar. Without going into absolutely any detail, the story presented in pokemon violet It's the best I've seen so far in the franchise. In addition to being extremely fun, it manages to connect with all the other activities we do during our journey.

With a few hours of gameplay we are released on the continent of Paldea and we have three missions to do: the classic one of collecting 8 badges, investigating Team Star further, and also helping Arven. So let's go by parts.

All gym leaders are good and this time they put together a very good squad. In order to have access to the battle against the Leader, we need to perform some tasks that vary from city to city. For example, in one of them we have to help an MC to warm up an audience for a show, or find out what the secret dish is to be able to face the Leader. During the walk, we ended up meeting the of the Elite 4, and the champion. All pretty cool.

At school, we end up receiving a call from a stranger who asks for our help in destroying a group called Team Star. His motivations are explained throughout the adventure, but his ending is excellent. Finally, we have to help Arven, and again I won't go into detail so as not to give any spoiler, but I consider this the best arc in the game.

With the adventures over, it's time to finally see what the Professor wants. And again, without going into detail, it's without a doubt the best story ever seen in a Pokemon game. Everything is well explained and tied together, and it's really fun to play.

The bulk of the Pokémon franchise continues in pokemon violet🇧🇷 You can only take one action per turn, be it attacking, trading, or using an item. But now there are some changes that make the battle much easier. If you've ever been a competitive Pokémon player, you know that it was always necessary to have a paper and a pen on your side to write down possible increases in the opponent's attributes or if the field is dirty due to some blow, and things like that. Now this can all be checked during the fight, and it's much easier to think of a strategy.

There are numerous new features, such as Pokémon, moves, abilities and much more. Now to acquire the TMs (Technical Machines) we need to get items that are Pokémon leftovers, such as fur, and get them from the store, which is conveniently right next to the Pokémon center. If you don't know where to go, the local nurse can help you, which is ideal for newbies.

One point I need to highlight here is the soundtrack, which was excellent. The songs are more fun and with more presence than in previous years. On the other hand, it is unacceptable that a game from one of the most profitable franchises in the world is not fully voiced, both the characters and the Pokémon.

Finally, the big news of pokemon violet is terastallize🇧🇷 This new phenomenon changes the Pokemon that uses it into a crystal shape, and increases the power of moves of the same type. For example, a Gyarados, which is Water/Flying, turns into pure Water, that is, it no longer takes 4 times the damage for electric strikes, reducing it to 2 times, in addition to hitting harder with moves of its type. This transformation is quite fun and can only be used once per fight, so it's always good to regulate when you use it.

Like every school, Uva Academy serves to teach us. We can take classes in various subjects, such as History, Arts, Mathematics, and others. The most interesting thing about this system is that we have proof! Yes, a midterm, and a final. Over the course of the classes we can bond with the teachers, and find out a little more about what they like to do, their desires and other things.

The most interesting thing about classes is that we discover things about the world too. So it's always important to participate in classes and learn a little more. What can make it a little difficult is the fact that pokemon violet not be subtitled in Portuguese, but with some effort, nothing is impossible.

A much desired game 2z2s6w

I affirm in all letters: pokemon violet is best game in the franchise to date🇧🇷 Unfortunately it was released with graphics and performance absurdly below what is acceptable for such a huge franchise. Other than that, the game it has absolutely everything fans wanted most: a giant open world to explore, visible Pokémon that move in groups, secondary characters beyond charismatic and a solid story that needs to be explored even more.

The soundtrack is of extreme quality, and the songs pack what we do most during the journey: battling and capturing Pokémon. If we didn't have the problems mentioned above, surely the pokemon violet it would be a 10, but it's impossible to overlook what happens. If one comes patch to fix everything that is wrong, then the game will become unique.

I particularly hope that some future DLC or new entry will take us back to Kalos and give the proper treatment that region deserves. I say this since palea is based in Spain, which is on the side of , where Kalos was based. But that's a conversation for another time.
