Pokémon Scarlet is a massive leap for the series that finally stops holding the player's hand every five seconds. It’s got heart, a surprisingly decent story about school life, and enough creatures to keep a kid busy for a hundred hours.
Yeah, the graphics can look like a potato at times and the frame rate occasionally chugs, but your kid won't care. They’ll be too busy figuring out which type beats what. It’s a safe, smart, and genuinely fun time-sink that rewards curiosity over just following a gold arrow on a map.
