Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is a fantastic Pokemon game let down by some disappointing graphics:

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet is the most ambitious and forward-thinking Pokemon game yet, but suffers from some frustrating graphics and technical features. The new Pokemon games represent a transition to the franchise's ninth generation of games and the first to truly feature an open world able to be explored however a player wishes.

One of my biggest criticisms of Pokemon Legends: Arceus, the first game to play with a more open Pokemon world, is how empty the Hisui region felt compared to other Pokemon games. There was little to do in Pokemon Legends: Arceus outside of the core gameplay loop of sneaking up and either capturing or battling wild Pokemon.

The new Pokemon additions may be divisive but I personally loved how weird and outlandish they were. There is a whimsy and weirdness to this generation of Pokemon that was delightful, and it was honestly a struggle to decide which Pokemon to put into my"final" team. There were very few misses in this generation of Pokemon designs, and I hope that they continue this streak of originality as they add more Pokemon over the next few years.

Game Freak has also shown a willingness to make even more quality-of-life improvements that remove the tedium of a Pokemon game. Some players might enjoy the grind of slowly leveling up Pokemon and finding the one NPC who can restore a Pokemon's missing moves, but I loved how the"Let's Go" mode lets Pokemon quickly gain XP while the player traverses large distances and lets players instantly switch out moves without hesitation.
