    Nice timely deliver for a great game!

    The delivery came exactly on the day that was predicted. I haven’t played the game yet, but I enjoyed the older game on the DS, so I have high hopes that this will be a great game as well!

    Bringing Back the OG Team!

    I was so excited when this was announced during the Pokemon Direct! Easily one of my favorite remakes for the Switch! Gameplay: Plays almost similarly to the original, though recruitment has been made easier through certain rare qualities. Controls are straightforward. Difficulty increases drastically in the post game. Story: It's short but sweet, it took me less than a week to make it to the post game. No changes from the original other than some camera angles being played with during certain events Art Style: Adorable! Matches well to the illustrations made for the original Difficulty: Story dungeons feel easy but post game is much harder. You will need to grind later in the game. Overall this is a great game! Definitely pick it up if you played Red/Blue Rescue Team, you'll enjoy it!

    Timeless

    Timeless classic and great redux. I do miss the IQ system but the Rare Qualities mechanics is definitely preferable. The music and artwork, along with great gameplay make this a must buy. It does feel a lot easier then the originals, due to the Dojo changes and rescue rewards at low levels often having big buffs. As a casual game, it's perfect for the Switch and now even better for traveling due to the new auto-save.

    listen.......

    i’m not going to bullshxt you here. this game is gorgeous. and i’m not just saying that because i played it in the seventh grade with my friend sara. i’m saying this because it is the truth. the art style has been updated and the classic dungeon crawler with a pokémon tint is HERE and it is here to stay. well, at least until animal crossing comes out. i mean, come on, so they not have a release schedule buffer? animal crossing is right around the corner guys, i can’t finish this before it comes out. and you already know: when animal crossing comes out, everything else goes to the cosmos. i’m talking divine separation from my ability to concentrate on anything else that isn’t animal crossing. alright bottom line this game is good. it’s pretty. old school dungeon crawling rpg game for the switch. it works for kids. it works for me. my dog i’ll eventually grow up and play this game too. if the regular pokémon games were too hard for you then this will bemuse you as well, just in a different way. 5/5 stars. would take a test to become a mudkip only to get totodile like an idiot and then retake the test to get my desired outcome again.

    Love this game and can't put it down!!!

    Do you like cutesy games? Do you like puzzles? Are you trying to incorporate tactics in turn-based combat? If so, you will love this game! It is a remake of Pokemon Blue Rescue Team from the Nintendo DS and Pokemon Red Rescue Team from Gameboy Advance. The graphics are updated and the music is crisp. It's also great that some newer features like Mega Evolution are incorporated into the game. The nostalgia factor is very strong and I feel like a kid again.

  • Can multiple characters be created. Like I create someone and play. Then my sis create someone and play?

    Sadly the game doesn’t support multiple saves :( If you did have an SD Card you can save a game save on that and keep on switching saves which is a hassle. But 1 character per switch.
