Nintendo Switch – OLED Model Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Limited Edition

Product Information

We all know they can do way better than what they give us and launching these latest games with such poor graphics quality and then still having serious framerate issues is inexcusable! No idea how in earth Nintendo approved these games to launch in such a state?!

If this is the result of the Open World feature, then I rather wish they hadn't gone this route. I mean... Legend Arceus was also pretty bland and boring with its environments. Otherwise, battling and catching Pokémon is no different compared to previous mainline games. Fight your Pokémon in turn-based battles, catch them if you want, etc. In addition, trainer battles are now optional, which works because we usually didn’t want to be distracted from just riding around in the wild — you're able to initiate fights by just talking to the trainers. We’re lamenting the loss of Legends: Arceus’ ability to catch Pokémon by simply throwing Pokéballs at them, but we love the addition of something we touched on earlier: 'Let’s Go'. Truth be told, yyyyyup, this is poor game optimisation. The Switch has managed to run stuff like Doom, Wolfenstein, Warframe (even with its "open-world-esque" maps), Breath of the Wild, Bayonetta 3, Xenoblade Chronicles Remastered, 2 and 3, and a long etcetera. But, there is one caveat... Does this limited edition Nintendo Switch come with a copy of Pokémon Scarlet or Violet?

They could have established new studios or contracted existing ones years ago to start working on games to be ready on a yearly cycle like Activision do with CoD. Instead it seems we’re going to forever get games that have lofty goals but are hamstrung by GF constantly trying to keep up with tight deadlines. Shame. Another great thing about linear RPG's is that you can usually go into an area you aren't ready for, take the risk and if you win the reward will be greater.

But it all is awfully hindered by mediocre game developing, it's like playing Cyberpunk 2077, when everything works the game is awesome, but things start to go south very fast. It's even worse if your game session starts to get longer, I did a 6-7 hour session and had to reboot the game because textures just failed to load and the game world just disappeared. The mechanics themselves are everything I wanted in a pokemon game so I am excited to try them out. The new dex also looks great from what I have seen. From this point on, I am really interested in the remake situation, I assume we are going to get B/W then B2/W2 but it's about time we had a johto remake.

It's the same on the Switch, there are plenty of high demanding games on the Switch today that have been properly coded and optimized for the system, who both look and perform much better than any of Game freak's games.

GameOtaku Level scaling is terrible. It is a necessity in open world games though which is a critical flaw of open world games IMO. What's the point of getting stronger if the enemies' level with you? May as well stay at level 1 but then what would be the point of levels at all, may as well just be an adventure game instead of an RPG. SV is worse in that regard but that's because 3 years later it has the same issues plus more while Arceus already fixed some of them the very same year it came out. No need to level scale bosses either, bosses are the walls that keep you out of map areas that you have no hope of surviving. If you can't beat the boss, you can't go forward. Beat the boss and you can move into new places with harder enemies. JRPG's have been doing this for decades but now all of a sudden, they can't remember how to do it?

Which is a shame really. I have a feeling user comments are going to be broken down to, those who can cope with the problems and stay positively overall anyway, those who can't cope with the performance issues and it has to be a bad game for them, and those in-between these two sides. Jeronan I agree that SV have lot of dissapointing issues (the fact that there isn't even a Battle Tower says a lot) but launch SWSH was also quite bad. TMs aren’t the only thing you can make, and Pokémon’s culinary step forward from Galar’s curries is sandwiches. You can set up a picnic out in the overworld, interact with your Pokémon (including giving them baths), play ball, and make tasty bocadillos in a cute, if awkward, little minigame. You can follow set recipes or try and make some unique flavours. Depending on the ingredients you use to construct your succulent sub, you’ll get different benefits, such as boosting experience for one type of Pokémon, or increasing the drop rate of items from a particular type, and even Tera raid boosts. There are tons of these to experiment with, so even our wonkiest sandwich felt like it helped us fill our bags and our Pokémon up a little bit. No. Unlike the Animal Crossing version in the UK, the Nintendo Switch OLED Pokémon Scarlet and Violet Edition does not come with either game included. The whole game world of Scarlet&Violet looks very amateuristic where you see for example a big grass plane and they just placed a city right on top of it, without putting any effort in blending it more into the environment and make it look more natural, like they did much better in Sword&Shield.

You can clearly see it in the above review video where he rides/walks around on the vast grass land and enters that big city that looks like one big asset they placed straight onto the world map, without any blending/finishing. Until then I stay clear from Scarlet/Violet until I see a clear roadmap, first patches and if/when they going to add DLC content (and what it will contain). When you’re inside buildings and in battles, the game can look pretty good. You can see streaks of hair in characters, the stitches and threads in your clothes, and even the shiny slippery-ness of Wiglett and the texture of a Mareep’s wool. In battles, characters and Pokémon look relatively crisp and clean for the most part, and they all burst with personality through their stances and interactions – though many battle animations are still incredibly stiff and look like an afterthought. Pokémon models sometimes disappear in thin air, or appear and drop from above you too. There are times Scarlet & Violet almost look like a real step forward visually for Pokémon, but it then loses itself in a mire of pixelated textures and technical issues, especially if it’s raining or snowing. I enjoyed the changes of Arceus, and I know some folks wish they'd brought more of those mechanics over, but I think part of the point of Arceus is it's a different time when we were first discovering partnership with Pokemon rather than fearing them, and thus things work differently than modern times of Pokemon. I like that it's rather unique. What do you think of this new Pokémon themed Switch OLED? Grab your starter Pokémon and let us know in the comments!It's high time that Nintendo steps in and starts shaking up Game freak real good! As Game Freak just keeps on riding the Pokemon IP alone doing all the sales for them, instead of putting some "real" effort in their games. The flagship of the new Nintendo console is, without a doubt, the 7 ”OLED screen. Significantly brighter than older LCDs, it ensures vibrant colours and impressive contrasts. Crisp and fluid, the display reaches a maximum resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels, but it is unfortunately not anti-glare and may show some gaps when playing outside. The sound also takes a step forward compared to the previous model thanks to larger and more powerful speakers. New Developments Under the Body This is absolutely a pathway to a good pokemon game in the future. SWSH was pathway to its demise of the franchise, this revives it for sure and the next gen can go so far learning from it but its sad to say we'd need to skip this generation for the quality pokemon experience we've been waiting for. I do believe scarlet/violet desperately need DLC for replayability, for more to do, more to catch, cause they did go all-out for the story part of the game, which is always just the one time novelty part of what pokemon games content truely consist of.
