『Pokemon Scarlet Violet”, among the three Pokemon that can be selected at the beginning, it has become a hot topic that the “Fire” type “Hogeta” is too strong.
Video distributor “PokemonChallenges” tweeted on November 24 that “Hogeta” was too strong after finishing the “Nasrock Challenge” in just 20 hours with “Pocket Monster Violet”. .
The Naslock Challenge is a way for players to set their own restrictions and play the game, and if their Pokemon is in a “cold” state, it can’t be recovered and is considered permanently dead. It is a rule that they must be released into the wild. Furthermore, only the first Pokemon encountered in each area is allowed to be captured.
However, according to Pokemon Challenges, choosing Hogeta would make the Nasrock challenge too easy. Pokemon Challenges tweeted: “Even among the Gosanke (three Pokémon you can choose first), Hogeta is too strong to use in Nasrock. Hogeta alone defeated 5 Gym Leaders, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, and a Champion. Other Pokémon.” But there aren’t any Pokémon from the Gosanke that are this strong.”
“If you want to enjoy Nasrok, you might want to ban Hogeta.”
Fuecoco is already easily the most broken starter in Nuzlocke history. Solo sweeps five gyms, an e4 member and the champion. No other starter in any game comes close. I recommend banning it for a more interesting run.

Other players reacted to the “Pokemon Challenges” tweet as follows: “Exactly. I was playing Hogeta for a while, but it felt like I was playing on easy mode, so I had to start over (choose a different Pokemon).”
Yet another player points out that Hogeta’s strength is due to his ability to “be immune to normal and melee attacks” and his ability to use extremely powerful moves.
Pokemon Scarlet Violet, released on November 18th, has been a huge commercial success despite numerous reports of bugs and other technical issues. This work is “god of war Ragnarok” exceeded sales in the first week of its release, and the total number of sales exceeded 10 million in just three days after its release.
The NME review gave it three stars, stating: “Pokémon Scarlet Violet is a frustrating title (with a lot of bugs). If you’re a Pokemon fan, you may not mind the technical issues or design flaws, but this kind of mediocre work makes me recommend it. No. There are some interesting ideas in the game, but I feel like the developers, Game Freak, needed a little more time to refine their ideas.”
In other news, an Activision Blizzard spokesperson said Microsoft’s acquisition of the company would only benefit gamers, calling the allegation that the deal unfairly hurts competition “absurd.” commenting.
