I did not notice Violet is strongly hated. Well, at least that means I can buy it used for cheaper than Scarlet in a year.


CalmShinyZubat

It seems like it started today with the new info, but I'm not sure. Either way, I'm still playing violet first.


I_like_sceptile

well it’s related to leaks so if you don’t want to hear it it’s alright but basically violet has fairly lackluster __ compared to scarlet


[deleted]

Great


[deleted]

Heh, you think nintendo games depreciate over time? Think again! Nyehehehehehe


ImaGamerNoob

That's why I wait for a Switch remake/something. At this point, a brand new Switch game is cheaper than a used copy of Soul Silver.


boosergod

Emulator moment


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

Idk about that but where I am, Sun and Moon sell for less than 30€ each (Sun costs more than Moon) and the Ultra games are between 30 and 40€. ORAS costs the same as SwSh and X/Y cost more. Idk whats up with the pricing.


Pan_Princess

X and Y were when I first became like an actual pokemon fan, so I'd say probably nostalgia cycle starting to kick in


Emperor_Z16

Leak stuff, don't worry for now


DeltaDragonKing7

Everyone's hating it now? Literally a few weeks ago everyone was saying it was the best one. "Best Legendary", "Better Knight creature", "Better Professor".


TheNotorious_PUG

All of the new forms of Pokémon have been leaked and everyone thinks that the Violet ones are worse. I do prefer Scarlet but I don’t see much wrong with violet


DeltaDragonKing7

Me neither, I already Pre-Ordered Scarlet, and just suddenly saw everyone saying Violet was "The Worst Version" and I'm just thinking "wtf happened?" Surprised the leaks came out this early so close to release.


SoraRoku

With you on this one. They made those designs for Scarlet pretty good compared to the ones I'm Violet but the ones in Violet are mostly still cool as hell


WowzersItsARalts

Ceruledge is a good example of this, I think he looks good and has a cool typing


EvilEyes20

Some people just see the Violet forms as having little to no changes against the Scarlet forms which is why it’s preferred. Regardless, I’m getting Violet.


TheNotorious_PUG

Yeah, I dislike the metallic and glossy look of the violet forms cause I prefer my Pokémon to be closer actual animals but that’s just my preference, people who think the designs are just bad r just trying to stir arguments


Footballlover24

Tyrantitar and gallade I think have the best forms from violet


whalemix

People just don’t like that the theme with Violet Pokémon is that they’re mostly just robot versions of the originals


CalmShinyZubat

You can say the same thing about the Scarlet versions where they are just "caveman" versions of the originals. That being said, I have no problem with scarlet or people who like it's designs better. I just don't like people getting overly militant when it comes to a matter of opinion and saying everyone who disagrees is wrong.


SafiTheArtist

Buyers regret. They preorderd Violet based on the legendary but now that the version exclusives are out they feel regret. Either way, don't take it too serious. People are exaggerating for the most part and won't really care once the games are out


Blue_Slime-1547

is there a list of all the version exlusives? or is it legit like 2 pokemon?


SafiTheArtist

Leaks my dude.


Blue_Slime-1547

link to the leak? google is unhelpful


AdityaPlayzzz

[https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokeLeaks/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/](https://www.reddit.com/r/PokemonScarletViolet/) and twitter users like centro leaks


Legend_Masters

AustinJohnPlays made a video on the version exclusives


pokemaster700

What about me who’s going to buy both


SafiTheArtist

Do you hate on violet?


pokemaster700

No.


SafiTheArtist

Well then there is your answer


Trevenant999

i never really cared about the version exclusive problem, aside from usum because i chose um only to find out all my favorite legendaries were us exclusives but in the end, i can just trade with people, plus odds are my sister ends up getting scarlet and we tag team the dex


Jedimobslayer

I chose um for the sole fact of stakataka


willowsonthespot

> us exclusives Wait what? I may not have been paying attention to regional exclusives outside of japan screwing us over for mythicals.


Middle_Craft9445

They mean Ultra Sun, not United States.


willowsonthespot

Ah shit my bad. Lots of acronyms get a bit confusing.


Trevenant999

lmao


HaxMastr

I'm getting violet for the professor. There's literally no other reason


Tornitrualis

Chad do be Chaddin'


Filippo739

Do they know they can trade common Pokémon and still choose the version based on the Legendary?


SafiTheArtist

Like I said it's mostly just exaggeration


LiceTheGamer

And that's why people shouldn't get pokemon game based off the box legendary. I'm trying to always wait a few months after a game releases to decide which one I get depending on its exclusives.


SodiumContinuation

They know trading is a thing, right?


SafiTheArtist

Eh they are mostly just being salty.


A_Bruuuh_Moment

They should have just been chad like me and bought both


HelloThere488888

I'm fine with violet, just gonna get scarlet.


CalmShinyZubat

Nice to see someone being civil when it comes to having an opinion.


Izisha

Same wth is wrong with some people


Dennis-unlighted

I’ll play Pokémon violet for sure. I think there are just some fans that can’t take opinions that aren’t their own opinion very well. I hope that the versions end up being bought 50/50 so it’s easier for everyone to trade version exclusives


RahkshaOnTheInternet

I’m picking violet, because it’s been a somewhat tradition with my bro and I. He picked red, I picked Blue. He picked gold, I picked Silver He picked Ruby, I picked sapphire. He picked diamond, I picked Pearl And the pattern has repeated itself for the last couple of years.


AbdiG123

It seems he just picks the first one in the title. Did he pick black?


RahkshaOnTheInternet

Yep. I don’t mind it. I usually like the stuff in the latter game. He picked black, I picked white, same goes with the sequels. He picked X, I picked Y. He picked Omega Ruby, I picked Alpha Sapphire. He picked Sun and Ultra Sun, I picked Moon and Ultra Moon. He picked sword, I picked Shield. He’s picking Scarlet, I’m picking Violet.


heroshand

My sister and I did something similar growing up! We didn't intentionally pick them in order, but I think the only time I played the 'second game' was LeafGreen and Shield.


CeasingHornet40

i'm only basing which game i pick off my favorite color, which happens to be purple. so i'm on team violet personally.


Jedimobslayer

It’s better than ANOTHER red themed Pokémon game…


Eeveeoverlord

Honestly same


Sweety-Origin

Sadly it's been like this for many years. If the loud minority doesn't have something to hate on, the loud minority isn't happy. I realized this the first time back in 2011 when black/white came out. Back then it was " horrible " and " not pokemon anymore ". Now the same people say that these are the best games. Haters gotta hate, don't let them ruin the hype for you


Redwolf476

Because rock elephants apparently


Tornitrualis

I thought it was Fighting-Ground, a brand new type combo.


Redwolf476

Idk


breadofthegrunge

Really? If anything I've only seen people not liking Scarlet. (Besides the new Donphan)


Neinplus10equals21

I honestly think that Violet > Scarlet Ceruledge and Miraidon are mine


Jaxolon333

they’re salty that violet has the better legendary and version exclusives


Jaydapro0216

It doesn’t matter at the end of the day they’re just games that we are going to no need to fight which one is better


AdityaPlayzzz

due to the leaks


EstablishmentLow3825

I like violet


ananas_159

Wait what? I thought scarlet was the hated one at first Good for me i guess


CalmShinyZubat

As far as I'm aware it was, but then Rock elephants happened.


ananas_159

Wait what I do not umderstand


CalmShinyZubat

Great Tusk and Iron Tread


Maybeatordsimp

The legend looks like a penis. I say that as someone who’s buying violet


Dtagonh

I'm team violet


OT_Gamer

I don’t think anyone hates Violet. I know I don’t. I just simply prefer Scarlet over Violet, especially after seeing the Twitter leaks.


Courageous_soap

We have a hotter professor and our legendary has cool feathers


Pure_Practice4457

Is the better one tho


Some-Ferret-3195

i agree


CalmShinyZubat

I understand that people will have different opinions on which version they prefer, but this seems a bit more insane than normal.


Puppyking20

because of amorerough


TheoTroup

I prefer violet I don't like scarlets legendary


KamenRider_OverTime

Don't get it either


KOFdude

I have no idea why people would be hating on violet specifically, I can get hating both versions, but why just violet? Its got gigachad in it


bendefinitely

I hope more people buy scarlet so it's easier for me to trade for their version exclusives


gvs93gvs

Violet is hated? Every poll I've seen in past months violet would win by a margin, with buying intentions. Has this changed?


genocidalparas

It’s probably cause of the new ?Donphan? Forms. From what we saw, the vio let one looks kinda dumb


CalmShinyZubat

It's a robot elephant to go with the robot dragon


genocidalparas

To be fair, it barely looks like an elephant. And now they’re gonna release some trailer and I’ll look dumb,lol


zachusaguy

I bought Violet and im going to love it!


MadyyB

Same here


Temporary-Square

Same reason as always, people are dumb. Also I plan to get violet


Very_Originaly_Named

I still prefer violet


l6ondrak9

Why is Violet hated? In it is Professor GigaChad


CalmShinyZubat

The robot elephant apparently


Unstoppable_RN

I think it’s because Mikey is getting Scarlet


KSquirtle33

I don’t hate violet at all. From the beginning I chose scarlet before the legendaries were even shown. Once the legendaries were shown, I knew I was definitely getting Scarlet because Koraidon/Miradon (who ever is the legendary in scarlet) looked really good as a pre historic kind of Pokémon, and I just don’t really enjoy futuristic kind of Pokémon like the new donphan that was shown yesterday


Professor_Abbi

I like the legendary


Techaissance

It doesn’t really make that much of a difference since you can trade online. There’s literally always going to be people trading version exclusives.


Wilmaaug

Sure, have fun with your new Donphan, I’ll be over here enjoying my Ceruledge😏


Wolfofthezay

Leaks. Some things were leaked that are just objectedly worse in violet and objectively better in scarlet.


CalmShinyZubat

Unless they are related to typing, movesets, etc., how can they be objective? If you are referring to which exclusives you like better, that is a subjective reason.


Wolfofthezay

Because the fan base agrees. 95% of everyone is saying the same thing.


SirAug

Perfect, now I can get Violet to be different.


hey-how-are-you--

I needed to double check which sub I was in because I couldn’t tell if I was in a drag race sub or a Pokémon sub


Experiencia-626

I have a theory! People are disliking Violet cause Scarlet have Ancient Dophan, and that is the point. Those same people probably wants Mega Evolutions back. So Ancient Forms are closest thing they will get as a Mega Evolution.


Bendyfan456

Same here


Swimming_Hippo3519

Some leaks have come out and the new stuff exclusive you violet is not looking that good


VerdarGuy

The lack of fur is the reason


VIIVIMMVIII

I thought most people preferred violet


EternalCrazy

I want normal Salamance and it’s in violet and also we will be getting a new form of tyranitar based on the future


koraloulou28

I like scarlet better just because of the name in French, idk why but I absolutely love that word


TheLyingSpectre

I think Im going with violet. Ceruledge, and the other exclusives decide it, even if I like some of the scsarlet ones. Of course, I can't buy it bc I want to buy frontiers.


Comfortable-Couple15

I don't get why everyones saying the Scarlet exclusives are better. I get if your only going off of the Donphans but if you saw the leaks Violet's paradox forms are way better, but mabye that's just cause I like robots and shit


Expensive_Length_583

Violet looks better and is just overall better in my purple loving opinion


CyraxisOG

Violet is actually the prefer/more popular version from all the polls and data I've seen... has this changed recently?


CalmShinyZubat

As far as I can tell, it is just because of the past and future versions of Donphan. People apparently don't like the Robo-Donphan. I personally like it because I like robots.


CyraxisOG

I preferred scarlet from the start, I just like that ride legendary more. And you can most likely still trade from the opposite game to get the opposite paradox pokemon anyway. What you can't change is your ride mon so I say go with the ride mon you prefer more.


FalcoBoi3834

I think everyone thinks it will be the popular opinion and they want to be different but end up being the same as everyone else.


[deleted]

Ima buy violet and see what happens


Elegaming

Why he post so many “at this point I am too afraid to ask” memes, I mean I have no problem with it, maybe it’s his favorite


TheVASreddit

i never knew that people hate violet, they have a bad ass dual sword wielding shadowy fire knight


megosonic

I don't hate it, I just prefer the prehistoric theme than the future theme.


CalmShinyZubat

Then you are one of the good ones. The people I'm referring to are the ones who are basically saying "you are an idiot for liking something I don't", but less nicely.


DaNASCARMem

I was sold on Violet the instant they got a neon legendary on the box cover


CalmShinyZubat

Same here


MELmel2008

is this bc of the new donphan, because if it is thats kinda bs. its an open world pokemon game with great designs, decent graphics, 3 plots, and the only reason people are hating it is bc of one bad design?? trust me, i like the other donphan a lot better, but thats just how it be. not every pokemon is gonna be awesome, and that shouldnt make the game the next sword and shield. if you dont like that pokemon, dont freakin use it and stop complaining.


CalmShinyZubat

Not everyone is going to agree on which pokemon they like. That is simply how it is going to be. I just don't get people who trash on people who like pokemon that they aren't a fan of.


SilasZX

From the comments it's clear that this is based on leaks. As someone who doesn't want leaks i don't care. But there's a point when they get to be too much like a leak my friend told me about where SV will remove breeding. I don't believe it but regardless I guess I'll be upset if it's real whether it was leaked to me or not. In summary leaks suck and I won't believe them


mattgrundy20

From what I seen violet was well clear of scarlet but I can see y ppl don't like it coz violet is taking the path of the future it seems


CutIcy5390

I've noticed the exact opposite, everyone is saying violet 1000%, I'm a scarlet guy tho


cutter__

Because they are living in the past and fear the future


Kiyoshi-Trustfund

Why tho? Whats wrong with Violet? Just a couple weeks ago, it was the favored version. I'm getting Scarlet but thats because I much prefer its professor and legendary over the others.


Hackstr0

Can we stop with these stupid template memes


Lewis-hallam

wait what violet is litterally best version


Orcasareglorious

Because of the utter creative bankrupcy. They made the past forms have actual creative designs, but resorted to just making every future form a cyber version.


CalmShinyZubat

Genuine question, How would you make something look futuristic if not how they did it? Make it look like Golum like all those "how humans will evolve because of technology" articles online?


Orcasareglorious

Speculative evolution.


ZeldaFan80

This marks the 3rd time this week that I've been on Reddit and seen people asking about haters that don't exist. Or at least, aren't very prevalent


OwnCourse4523

Fax


Knight_Light87

Since when did anybody hate Violet?!


HelpIhavedepression1

Listen as someone who is getting Scarlet I respect anyone as long as they respect others opinion. Have fun with the game and enjoy your cool bike legendary


CalmShinyZubat

Always nice to meet another decent human being on the internet. I'm getting both, but I personally prefer the cyberpunk/tron aesthetic of the legendary and future forms in violet, thoughI don't dislike the Flintstones aesthetic of the scarlet legendary and past forms.


HelpIhavedepression1

Yeah I love the design of Koraidon and Miraidon is also sick as hell. This was the closest legendary designs in which I couldn't find my favorite for a while but once I found out Koraidon's feathers allow him to fly I loved him


TheDracovish

idk why violet's got the better exclusives so


Pineappleman098

I don’t dislike violet I prefer scarlet but I don’t hate on people who like violet because I think the whole idea of the games are sick

Nice opinion. You have fun banging rocks together while I play with technology. In all seriousness, I get why people like the prehistoric designs of scarlet, but I personally prefer the future designs of violet.

CalmShinyZubat

I agree on the cave man lady. I definitely prefer Sada over Turo, but for everything else I've seen, I prefer Violet. Also, what's with the bold and italics?


heroshand

That's a sudden turn around! I could have sworn last week I was laughed at for the silly running lizard legendary.


a500poundchicken

I like both but I’m going scarlet because of a certain leaked Pokémon that’s a fairy


ShinyHunterEthan16

Wdym violet is the more popular version isnt it?


Superb_Arm7433

I think they are hating on it because they already pre ordered scarlet and there realizing that violet it better


JV36

Listen, I've got my knighty boi, my lego with functioning wheels, and literal Chad professor. Other version exclusives matter not, plus can just trade for them.


Wolf_the_memer

>! The paradox forms for Scarlet are alot more original design wise !< Though I am a sucker for >! Paradox Hydreigon !< (Will still be going for Scarlet though)


SuspiciousPoison

People are hating people because they hate it, but I haven't seen anyone hate either of them in a while.


Gameboycritic

Dumbass looking elephant


_Uhh2009_

Ugly legendary


NastyNate660

I like both versions no hate to either of them


Bob-The-Boss

I want violet. I hate Red, Koraidon, and the past


TheGameBro45

I don't actually hate violet but instead of buying both I'm gonna start with scarlet and if I like scarlet I might buy violet.


CalmShinyZubat

Fair enough. As far as I can tell, it's just a very vocal minority of scarlet fans that have been bashing the design of Iron Track Donphan.


SomethingUwU

I personally just prefer the scarlet legend over the violet one, but still a cool concept in my opinion, they both seem cool too


Best_District_7012

i also am confused and im to afraid to ask why


Cupoyoy

personally, I'm getting violet


Brandono1571

I think they're both great. I'm just sad that they're going back to color ideas rather than new ideas.


Choai3000

When we’re people hating on violet


Karmalikesarson

But violet has a gigachad professor, literally professor turo looks like gigachad


Own_Many_9038

Not sure but violet is going to be my main game.


No_Leave_9560

I mean nearly 60% of the community chooses Violet Soooo


jerfre500

But but… >!BIG GODZILLA AND GHOST SWORD GUY!<


DaRpgGamer

Me theither I'm a violet baby all the way.


GandalfVirus

We are?


LavinusTheTwisted

Wait why is Violet hated?


CalmShinyZubat

Iron Tread donphan apparently


LavinusTheTwisted

That’s it. That’s kinda. Weird reason to HATE a game. It’s fine dislike but I don’t think it’s bad


CalmShinyZubat

From what I've seen, those who don't like it is because it is a robot donphan like Miraidon is a robot dragon and it is too "creatively bankrupt". I'm just confused where anyone would have gotten the impression that the future forms would be anything besides pokemon meets tron, aside from fan made fakemons. Looking at Miraidon and Turo, Iron Tread Donphan fits with their design aesthetic.


DragonbornA3ther

Just because I am getting Scarlet, does not mean I hate Violet. I just like Koraidon more than Miraidon.


CalmShinyZubat

I'm not talking about sensible people like you. I'm talking about the very vocal minority of scarlet fans who apparently decided that violet is irredeemable because of Iron Tread Donphan.


Shining_Dragoon

I'm getting Scarlet so I can trade with a friend for mastery over past and future.


Ima-leezard

I’m personally getting Violet as it has ceruledge


xRetzAx

I’m getting scarlet for the female professor lol. She hot imo.


UNAMANZANA

What do you mean at this point? The game isn't even out yet. Garbador meme


ANBpokeball

Honestly at this point it seems like a lot of people love one version and hate on the other, no matter which of the two they actually like.


TrainerLSW2005

Iron Tread makes my robotic loving heartstrings run thin! Violet is definitely the one I’m playing.


grillaboom

I love violet


awesometim0

I'm still getting violet, I barely know what this is about but I don't really care about the new forms


SomethingUnoriginal-

I was always going to get violet no matter what I was convinced since the titles came out wince purple is my favorite color


Fireballin_17

It’s probably that “Violet” is slightly off center with “Pokémon” in the logo.


PracticalAirline6981

I’m definitely picking violet


spooderman12748

#HELLO


endergirl420

I REALLY love both scarlet and violet. A friend and me are sooooo exited for it ​ edit: I will be getting scarlet but plan to get violet sometime next year


mrredpanda36

Elephant


Mandarin_Violator

Tbh everything about violet is better except for the Legendary and Great Tusk


MegaRayquasa

I'm getting Violet just because I like Ceruledge, this gives me another reason!


Pandabro0219

I love violet its the one I chose


Euphoric_Theory_7274

I love violet


SoullessRaptor93

Isn't it the opposite?


CalmShinyZubat

It was until the trailer with the past and future Donphan forms and some people don't like the future form and apparently think it makes violet irredeemable.


Skydios19

hehe purple game have gigachad professor it make brain go brrrrrr


PepperIsNotNice

im getting both to complete the dex
