Pokemon Scarlet & Violet’s performance is truly awful – but if it’s really fun, how much does it matter?
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet are here, which meant that yesterday the internet was full of critics, media, and influencers delivering their verdict on what is arguably one of the most ambitious and different main-line Pokemon games of all time. The verdict was positive, but also surprisingly mixed.
As it stands right now, Pokemon Scarlet & Violet will be some of the lowest-scoring core Pokemon titles in the history of the franchise. This Metascore of 77 isn’t exactly bad, but the fact it landed lower than other equivalent Pokemon games did rather take me by surprise – as I made clear in my This took me by surprise, as I delivered a 4-star review on VG247 that basically calls it the joint-best Pokemon game of the last 20 years, sitting alongside Legends Arceus from earlier this year as a breath of fresh air that challenges the franchise status quo.
