OK, first and foremost I am unironically autistic (diagnosed) and have played every gen of pokemon. Played the game 3 solid hours, already blown away. Scarlet and Violet is by FAR the best Pokemon game of all-time, and it's not even close. I actually managed to evolve my Sprigatito into Floragato in less than 2 hours just by mass autobattling 100+ Psyducks. You can basically fight 20-30 pokemon a minute. This game will DESTROY the autistic community. Worse than crack ruined black people in the 80s or HRT is ruining nerd communities today. There will be Pokedens where autists will just autobattle and breed pokemon for weeks and months like opium addicts. I have never felt this fiercely addicted to Pokemon before. Yes the graphics suck dick, but the game design has never been better. Like Breath of the Wild or Xenoblade 2 if it was a PS2 game.

Also just that opening with Koraidon... damn. Never has the presentation of story in a Pokemon game been this good either. This is the Joker of Pokemon games. Reviewers will hate it, the Pokeautists will praise it to high hell. Will absolutely shatter all sales record, get a 9.0+ Metacritic User Score and so on.
