Pokemon Violet - Nintendo Switch, (Physical), U.S. Version

I really like this game, it’s my first time playing any Pokémon game that isn’t Pokémon Go. Me and my boyfriend are playing the games together (he got Pokémon scarlet 🙄) and it’s very fun!

This is not the US version. Rip off seller.

Item came damaged, opened and missing the manual. Walmart is replacing but I have to find a FedEx place to return it. Very inconvenient in our small county :(

It probably helps that I held off on playing this until Switch 2. Many visual and technical issues, especially on original Switch hardware. Unfortunately, Game Freak seems disinterested in fixing this game despite being less than 4 years old.

my daughter loves the game. so many new things to explore

Lots of interesting ideas that would be great if they fully finished it. The world in this game is still buggy and horribly animated. The NPC's are very choppy moving around sometimes only refreshing once every second or two. The battles are much less animated than I expected. There is no player movement during the battle, the Pokemon attacks are a lot less animated... it just feels a lot more static than what we got in legends arceus. The world itself is very badly textured, it looks like you are walking across green carpet with barley moving grass and trees thrown on top. The camera constantly cuts under the world and displays the big white void underneath it. The menus lag a little and don't look as good as they did in legends. Overall I would say this feels more like a game in beta devolpment than a finished game. The npc animations are very bad, the world feels like a giant carpet with stuff thrown on it that doesn't integrate with it very well, the camera keeps going underneath the world, the battles are static compared with the battles we got in legends... Hopefully there will be some patches!

I already owned scarlet and knew I wanted Violet too. Along with Arceus, the 3 games line up pretty well. And the stories in scarlet and violet are just different enough that I say it's worth getting both.

9 year old son really wanted this game. Paid for with his save money so finding the best price was big for us. Walmart beat the price of all competitors including Nintendo online.

I know this game has a lot of issues with glitches and such, and I agree that it probably should have had another year in development before release. However, I am enjoying this game SO MUCH. The open world aspect is incredible, and I’ve already sunk hours into it. It’s a great game to relax and play.

I've been having fun playing the game without intensive knowledge or experience with Pokemon games aside from a few when I was a child. The frame rates and graphic issue people mentioned exist. It doesn't bother me as much as others since it's a Pokemon game- didn't really expect the best out from it. However if you played the other Pokemon switch games, this might be an issue for you. I'm only giving 3 stars though because of the said issues and I haven't really received the In-Game Refreshment Set advertised by Walmart.
