Which Pokémon Game Should I Buy: Scarlet, Violet, or Mystery Dungeon DX?

-

I’m thinking about getting a new Pokémon game since I haven’t played since Pokémon Shield. I’m considering either Pokémon Scarlet or Violet, or maybe Mystery Dungeon DX, which I loved when I played Red Rescue Team ages ago. Can you guys give me some pros and cons for each of these games? I’m curious about which one has better gameplay and more content for the price.

Honestly, both Scarlet and Violet are pretty comparable, but Violet has a bit of an edge in the metagame. If you don’t mind trading for raids, you might want to go with Violet. But if you have fonder memories from Mystery Dungeon, then DX could be a good pick too. Just remember, they’re very different experiences!

I get that! I loved Arceus too, and it’s a totally different vibe. If you lack trading partners, maybe just focus on what you enjoyed more. Violet has slightly more gameplay variety, but it’s tough to beat the nostalgia of those old Mystery Dungeon games!
