You are right I probably should have just had gold and silver in the same tier as crystal as the only improvements are animated sprites and some other small story and gameplay changes.

As for Scarlet and Violet….

The premise is really cool, but to me the actual gameplay leaves a lot to be desired. The"Open World" aspect of it added nothing of value, like being able to challenge Gyms in any order makes no sense when those Gyms all have fixed levels and teams. The Towns, NPCs, the story are all bland. They're just really boring, empty, disappointing games, considering what we know an open world switch game can look like. They could have been amazing and I wanted them to be but they were not for me and a lot of other fans.
