However, the performance issues are notable and would likely be off-putting to a new player. Scarlet/Violet are great game entries for experienced players, as they take great ideas into a franchise that sometimes gets stagnant. I don't think it's actually a great snapshot of the core Pokemon experience. Let's Go are not games for new players so much as they are for taking Pokemon Go players and recasting it as Gen 1. I think Sword/Shield is the clear choice for a new player. I think a lot of people are suggesting games they like from their perspective, rather than from a new player's perspective.
