I have yet to do a single gym, titan or challenge. All I've done so far is go around the map unlocking the Pokestops and catching all the Pokemon I wanted for my team. In my little explore I somehow found two shines with in ten minutes of each other, a Hoppip and a Skiddo That's some pretty amazing luck. I've largely just been running around catching stuff myself, though done some stuff for the main plots. Have like 85 Pokemon caught yet only done two gyms, two Titans, and one Team Star base.

Have to say, Nemona's the best rival in ages, but whoever made the call to have Hop praise you in every f***ing fight with him for using a super effective move should have been fired, and whoever made the call to still do it with Nemona should've been blacklisted from the industry. No respectable game, even one aimed at kids, should be going, "Who's a good boy, who's a good boy!" to you 20 hours into it for understanding basic gameplay mechanics.

I'm of two minds in that on one hand I am very much digging Scarlet and also I'm recognizing what a buggy pile of shit it is. Not had any of the outrageous stuff myself like people turning giant or their player starting to run around in circles during a battle (though those clips are hilarious) other than I got stuck in a bus stop once and the game had to reset my position, but you still definitely notice how slow and choppy the thing is. On the whole do definitely think they need to find some kind of way to space out the production schedule more. SV's a lot of fun and adds some really cool new stuff to the series but it kind of just barely functions and it feels like without more time and care and polish this problem isn't going to get better in future games. I think part of the problem is despite Game Freak having somewhere in the ballpark of 300-ish in house full time staff, they have two internal teams, and they are effectively making two games at any given time. Asking 150 or so people to make a full on open world game, especially for the first time(Arceus pulled a Monster Hunter of just large zones, not a giant continuous open world), is a recipe for disaster. Cyberpunk 2077 was made with a team of full time in house people around 500 people in strength, and we all saw the results of that(and that’s a studio with open world experience!).

My third party Joycon, which was a replacement of the original pair, started drifting mid-play last night.
Nintendo Switch is just such a wonderful system and not a scam for you to buy $80 controllers.

Most controllers cost around that much And all have the issue with drift It's a generation wide issue, and it sucks.

That $80 purchase of new Joy Cons fixed my game right up, thanks Nintendo!

I've had some frame rate issues (the Sunflora hunt, oh boy) but otherwise I find the game a lot more enjoyable than not.

Finally have my full planned team together of Quaquaval, Toedscruel, Tinkaton, Annihilape, Glimmora, and Espathra. Rest were mostly quick but it took me absolutely forever to find a Glimmet to the point that Pawmot's basically the seventh member of the team at this point after how long I had it holding the slot I had planned for it.

Just ran into my first Scarlet shiny. ... It was a Gabite so by the time I evolve it it might as well not be.

I've only done one gym because I keep getting distracted by catching all the Pokémon. 😅

Idc what the reviews say this rocks. And being able to run around with multiple People also freakin’ rocks.

Now that people are starting to settle in, I’m noticing that the narrative around the game is starting to firmly change from “LOL look at the glitches” or “Hahahaha look at how they are releasing a PS2 game despite being the highest grossing franchise ever!” to “It has some performance issues but this is the most fun Pokemon game possibly ever” or “What isn’t broken makes the game fantastic, what is broken makes the game hilarious.” Also I think many started realizing the glitch fervor was being stoked by like the same 5 videos being repeatedly shared. Idc what the reviews say this rocks. And being able to run around with multiple People rocks. Kotaku did a really great article about how it is the best co-op/multiplayer experience in Pokemon yet, and I agree.

I do think that it is pretty unacceptable that they released the game in this broken and chugging of a state, plus it's kind of annoying how blatantly you can see the parts where they held stuff back for the DLC we probably won't get for a year, but in spite of the game's obvious problems I'd say it's still easily the most I've enjoyed a Pokemon game since BW2 other than maybe Legends.
Think where I fall on it is that it really should have been delayed but I mind more intellectually than emotionally that it wasn't.
