Review: Pokémon Scarlet and Violet are the most feature-rich entries in years, though there are some performance woes. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
Instead of one main story quest that largely involves collecting 8 gym badges and facing the Elite 4, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet have 3 main story paths. One path is dedicated to the traditional Gym system, one has players chase down enormous titan Pokémon , and a third has you take on a horde of 30 Pokemon while running through an enemy base.
The Path of Legends sees your character hunt a series of massive Pokémon that have been reportedly been spotted across the map. This usually involves entering a new part of the map and being contacted by a character to tell you you’re near the huge Pokémon, and that you should hunt them down. What makes these battles unique is that instead of normal Pokémon battles, players will send out three of their Pokémon to run around and automatically battle hordes of enemy Pokémon, with the aim of defeating 30 of them before time expires. This is an interesting twist on the formula, and it’s novel getting to run alongside your three strongest Pokémon, but they’re all very easy, and each follows a similar formula.
Battling itself gets an interesting new gimmick with Terastallizing, a new mechanic which allows Pokémon to assume a new, completely different additional type, meaning that a water type such as Quaxly could theoretically adopt the type advantages and disadvantages of a Fire-type, should it be found with that Tera-type.
You can, however, use it as your mode of transport, as it becomes your bike, glider, dingy, and rock climbing apparatus. While this may, unfortunately, saddle Miraidon and Koraidon as the legendary Pokémon that are treated with the least difference, their place in the overall story makes them feel like a much bigger part of the game, rather than the tendency for box legendaries to essentially be a bit of post-game fluff you catch to round out your quest.
