Best of 2022: Pokemon Scarlet and Kelsey’s other GOTY picks

[ad_1]

2022 has been a slow year for games, but by no means a bad one. This year, I got to spend plenty of time with games that I’d of never seen myself playing beforehand, and finally held hands with some games I’d been waiting an eternity for. On top of that, it’s been a fantastic year for horror games and reveals, which I’ll always gobble up eagerly.

Amongst it all, however, I experienced something that I didn’t expect; I fell head over heels in love with the Pokemon franchise again.

My personal game of the year for 2022 is Pokemon Scarlet. The release of Pokemon Sword and Shield in 2019 left a sour taste in my mouth, and saw me turn away from the Pokemon series for a while. While it may be a series primarily aimed at children, Pokemon has a large adult fanbase too, and Pokemon Shield truly took the piss when it comes to hand-holding. By my third gym, I couldn’t handle it any more, and didn’t look back.
