There's a part of the Pokemon fandom that says Scarlet and Violet are the worst Pokemon games, and I get it. Everyone knows how bad the quality control is. It's been embarassing, and GameFreak knows it. What the will or won't do about it is another story.

On the other hand - when it comes to content, GameFreak is firing on all cylinders. There is so much care put into the characters, the story, the setting, the mysteries. The player character has a huge friend group - Nemona, Arvin, Penny, Carmine, and Kieran, and the fandom actually likes them, and talks about them, and each of them has fans. That's because they have actual character arcs. The friend group in XY can't hold a candle to them.

GameFreak is giving the story in S/V so much care that they're actually releasing an Epilogue on January 11th. They're actually giving the story an epilogue.

The gameplay is close to its peak in S/V, right behind the breath of fresh air that is Legends: Arceus. The abilities the character has to ride, climb, fly, send out Pokemon to do quick auto battles are fast, simplified, and freeing compared to older Pokemon games. It's fun to just pick up the game and mess around. Ride around randomly, pick up items, watch the Pokemon around you and how they act, and casually send out your own to KO some of them. This is even better in the DLC when you get Blueberry Quests, bite sized tasks that reward you for the random stuff you're doing anyway.

This does get to another significant problem that drags S/V down, and it's an issue with Pokemon on Switch as a whole. It's really expensive. Without the DLC, Scarlet and Violet don't have a third legendary, Koraidon and Miraidon can't fly, and the player doesn't experience the true conclusion of the story. The whole game with DLC is $93 together.

Does this nullify the quality of the game? It should not be this expensive, especially with the known problems with quality control and rushed graphics. I think the writers, artists, and game designers are objectively doing good work, but The Pokemon Company is definitely milking the games in a way that makes it hard for them. In the end, the overall quality of the end product with its compromises is ultimately up to each person to decide. For me, the content is getting overall better in each Pokemon game, and that definitely keeps Scarlet ane Violet from being the worst Pokemon game.

I mean, BDSP is right there.

Pokemon news!

Currently you can't make the TM for Metal Sound in Scarlet due to it requiring materials only available to Violet players. As an apology for this oversight, you can get the TM from the 26th till version 3.0.1 gets released ans the issue gets fixed. There's no code just click receive via internet after the 26th

Fun Fact: The vast majority of trainers in Scarlet and Violet have dog or canine-adjacent pokemon. The list includes Nemona (Lycanroc), Arven (Mabosstiff), Penny (VeeVees), Jacq (Arcanine), Clavell (Hounddoom), Tyme (Lycanroc), Raifort (Zoroark), Ryme (Houndstone), Giacomo (Masbosstiff), Mela (Arcanine & Houndoom), Ortega (Dachsbun), ane Eri (Lucario). Seems like Paldea the Pokémon Dog Person Region.

there are just So Many good bois in Paldea. inevitable that the trainers would end up using some of them

My Defense of Violets Paradox Pokémon

So maybe it’s just my feeds and timelines but it seems people are really negative about the future paradox pokemon

Essentially calling them just robot version of their main counterpart

And as someone who liked Miraidon over Koraidon since announcement I feel the need to defend their existence lol

My quick summarized point is that Pokémon aren’t just animals and the future paradoxes reminds me more of the cyborg or robot companions in other media whether droids like r2-d2 in Star Wars or Cyborg in Teen titans and in those ways they can be better than just having a pet animal like Pokémon

From what I gather part of the dislike of the future paradox pokemon is mainly lack of change design wise, that they no longer appear as the animal companion certain people enjoy a lot, and they don’t make sense

Design wise

People feel they just put a metallic shine over them whereas the Scarlet paradoxes stand out more

And I think it’s either both or neither

You can say they just put a metallic shine over them but I can just say they made one part of the scarlet paradoxes more exaggerated like flutter wing just has bigger eyebrow wing things, scream tail made the hair ok jigglypuff long that it’s a tail, roaring moon a more feral mega salamence

Just as without scarlet paradoxes you can point out the notable ones like how Slither wings is on the ground

Can say similar things for something like Iron Valiant and how it mixes Gardevoir and Gallade

And obviously some are more standoutish like the recent paradox beasts

With violets paradox’s the thing is less than the scarlets is that the silhouette is the same as their originals

Iron moths might have disconnected solar panels as wings but it still has the same shape as Volcorona

Iron Bundle head can almost detach its head and its tail bag is now like a gun but silhouette the same as Delibird

Because it’s partly why Brute Bonnet is one of the least popular ones

But lastly for this point I think people pick and choose as people love Iron Thorns because of Tyranitars connection go Godzilla but Iron Thorns is one the ones that is most like it’s original Pokémon but then say theIron Swords are lazy saying it’s mostly just the same

Companions

Even though Pokémon are literally pocket monsters most seem to see them more as animals for one reason or another

This ties into the Pokémon are seen as pets narrative to a good number of fans and its like similar logic to why some don’t evolve their cute little *insert cute pokemon* and they would want ___ as a pet like how people like different breeds of cats and dogs and such

And it’s partly why people don’t like a lot of object Pokémon like garbodor, the vanilite line etc…

And while scarlet paradoxes just exaggerate the pokemon features

Violets mskes them closer to the object mons that some fans dislike

This is subjective of course it’s like asking whats better Piplup or Garchomp, one person might say Piplup due to the anime, cute design and etc but another might pick Garchomp because of competitive pokemon and how cool it looks

But I kinda view violets paradoxes to when people are friends or friendly to the non-human characters in sci-fis

Like in star wars the droids like r2-d2 and c3po are like pets but also have a companion feel to them that you can argue more along the lines of they’re slaves but that’s another discussion

In other media a character can become a cyborg or android and sure they might not look the same ans maybe have visible metal or etc but I think theyre just as much companions as a cute furry animal if not more depending on context

Back to star wars it’s like saying would you rather have R2D2 or loth cat (rebels). I think while loth cats might be cuter i would much rather have R2

Making sense?

Even though it’s in the name of paradox, people still don’t understand or can comprehend why the Pokémon are “robots”

As the branding is past and future versions, scarlet’s can get away being prehistoric due to things like fossils, regional forms and the Hisuian forms, let alone other things like Mega evolution

Where future paradoxes are more like cyborgs which has different implications

First the future paradox Pokémon are still living creatures as they can eat and such, robots implies they’re not alive, it’s small but does mean something when you consider characters like Cyborg in DC, 18 in DBZ and etc as cyborgs as they’re not robots hence why 18 can have a kid

I think the issue is people look at a Pokémon like Iron Treads and wonder how did Donphan go from this to that

Where with scarlet most can just be explained that they got more domesticated or natural evolution and etc

And honestly both options don’t sound great as it’s either Donphans were “enhanced” to the point of looking robotic or evolution made everything resemble robots and as a human that’s disconcerting to see natural/organic stuff disappear

But I think this is where the paradox part comes in as paradox aren’t just Pokémon from the past and future but different timelines and dimensions

Paradoxes can come from a world where it is as dark as it can sound or they can come from a place where everything was always that way or anything you can think of

Generally I think people are more worried and hesitant about cyborgs than cavemen for comparison which ties into the current AI dilemma irl but again different discussion

So that’s my rambling of a defense for Violets paradoxes

I didn’t even go into the types and how the names aren’t as big of a deal since a lot of machine inspired keep it consistent like how an iPhone is iPhone 15 or IPhone X or IPhone SE, iPhone is the equivalent or Iron here but oh well

I’m not quite done with the dlc yet in Violet as I haven’t discovered Iron Crown and Boulder yet for reference so maybe my point will change when I get more information on the paradox pokemon
