Melodies & Mockeries: Two Perspectives

In this section, High Ground Gaming's resident trolls — the jolly Gurg and the angry Grundle — share their thoughts on Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

Gurg Grundle

Gurg

The Jolly Troll

In lands of Scarlet and of Violet hue,
A Pokémon journey, ever new.
In Paldea, wide and grand,
With Pokéballs at our command.

We roam through fields, 'cross hills, 'neath sun,
Seeking battles, fun begun.
With trusty partners by our side,
In every corner, wonders hide.

From classrooms bright to distant shore,
Each step a tale, lore and more.
We trade, we train, our bonds grow tight,
In every challenge, sheer delight.

So, lift your hearts, in vibrant sky,
On Pokémon paths, let spirits fly.
In Scarlet and Violet, dreams unroll,
A trainer's quest, an explorer's soul.

Grundle

The Angry Troll

Ah, Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.. just when I thought they'd run out of colors, they proved me wrong. Big surprise. The open world? Please, it's as empty and lifeless as my last online dating experience. Did they design this for the Game Boy? The draw distance is so bad, I'm half expecting to bump into a fog wall thinking it's a new type of Pokémon. And the new Pokémon designs – let's just say creativity left the building generations ago. The new Pokémon look like they've been drawn by someone who's only ever heard of animals in a game of telephone. Graphics that underwhelm, glitches galore, and don't get me started on the lackluster story. Can't wait to spend 60 hours 'catching 'em all' only to be bested by a 10-year-old with an oddly leveled Magikarp. Classic.
