I grew up playing pokemon red, blue and yellow. Pokemon sword was like traveling back to that past. I feel like a kid again and I'm almost 40. Everything I wanted back then has come to an reality. This game did not disappoint at all.

I usually love taking my time with Pokémon games there’s so much to explore with so little time. It’s like an updated version of their GameCube games (Pokemon Colosseum/Gale of Darkness) but with the formula of every other Pokémon game. I felt like I’ve been waiting for this my whole life I absolutely adore it. However I don’t like there online features, it’s a bit harder to grasp and it’s annoying at times when you wanna do things with your friends but nothing a patch or two can’t fix.

The game has various issues, especially for a console game. Cut Pokemon, unpolished, archaic online capabilities (no GTS), minor performance issues (online in wild area), outdated textures, etc. It just feels really rushed.
The wild area is fantastic addition as well as the over world Pokemon encounters. There's plenty of quality of life changes such as seamless land to water travel, no more "would you like to surf?" prompts. Competitive players will welcome the new nature mints, exp. candies and egg move transfer features. Max raid battles are very rewarding albeit the AI trainers can be frustrating to play with. I also love the OST. While still super easy, it cuts back on the forced tutorials from previous entries of the series and long cut scenes (looking at you Sun and Moon).
All this said, it's a very safe Pokemon game. People who haven't played in a few generations will find many new Pokemon and some familiar faces. Veterans of the series will still enjoy it. While I don't think it should be $40 like most people argue, it shouldn't be $60 either.

A lot of Pokémon to capture the game is huge. I heard the game map was small compared to Legend of Zelda but i was so wrong the map of the game is huge when you play it. The graphics are great for a Nintendo Switch. Overall in my opinion I think this is the best Nintendo Switch game out there. I’ve heard so much negative comments about this game but those people are just haters always complain about everything. Can’t wait for a new Pokémon game.

The newest Pokémon game is pretty good. It has no national Pokédex which makes it had to know if it’ll have your favorite Pokémon. Plus side is the Pokémon camp but beware the lag. If you plan on having it online often it will lag.
