Pokémon Violet and Scarlet are a bleak look at the future of Pokémon, filled with stuff to do, checklists to go down, and menus to fill out, but with almost none of the charm these games are known for.
and, Game Freak let players run wild this go-round. This region is a sprawl—a massive map players can tackle in any order, at any time. Each quadrant is littered with numerous one-stop Pokémon shops, with the Center and Mart rolled into a series of free-standing structures. From the get-go, players can freely fast travel between these points with no real consequence or feeling that they’re missing much.
This cheapens Paldea as a region. Previous generations relied on player’s shorthand knowledge and memorization of routes. It reinforced information in an organic way that, over time, taught players every last pixel on their screen. I can practically remember the location of a specific tombstone in—games I haven’t touched in years. But if you were to ask me a landmark, an item location, or what a town looked like in, you’d be out of luck.
Of course, this shift makes good business sense. In 1996, Game Freak was competing against other handheld role-playing games. In 2023, it’s squaring off against the likes offor children’s attention—tricky for a $60 console exclusive. To make matters worse, the Switch isn’t just a handheld, which means that Game Freak has to be cognizant of competition from Xbox and PlayStation.
Because above all, Pokémon will always capitulate to what makes the most money. There’s nothing sacred there—the whole thing has only ever been a cash cow exploiting children. It’s an ugly truth most fans don’t want to swallow, but the numbers don’t lie.
