Hey, so I'm gonna do 2 today. 5 and 6 are basically a tie for games that I feel are REALLY good and would highly recommend, but 1-4 are genuinely among my favorite games I've ever played. I would put all 4 of the top 4 in my top 20 games ever, at least. Now. I'm putting Pokémon Scarlet here because the other one being in the top 5 just ~feels~ right. If you don't like the game that's at #5, though, feel free to consider this #5 instead lol.
Hey, so, guess what game I have open right now on my Switch as I type this! lol. Obviously, I'm a big Pokémon nerd, haven't missed a single one of the games since I started with Silver back in the day. I've gotta say, this is one of the most fun games in the franchise. The characters are all great, the new roster of Pokémon is fantastic, THE ENDGAME IS FUCKING WILD YALL I NEVER WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT SHIT COMING. I was counting the games on this list that made me cry, and 5 of the top 6 managed to, this included. If you've played through the Titans storyline and the endgame, you'll know why. Also the SHINY HUNTING in this game is insanely satisfying. My shiny box is already half full.
I'll address the elephant in the room now. The performance, the bugs, the glitches, the crashes, etc. Now, I'm not saying what I'm about to say to try and devalue anyone else's experience, I've seen enough videos to know that these are real issues. For me personally, though, I haven't experienced ANY of this aside from a bit of lag when entering certain new areas or when there's a ton of Pokémon on the screen all at once. It's ran pretty nicely for me overall!
Overall, yeah I'm having a fucking fantastic time with this game!
Iono is the gif today because she's so funny, I adore her
