Exactly what the Pokémon franchise needed. The open world aspect of the game is fun and addicting to get lost in. Hoping future installments of the series follows this formula!

Best Buy very helpful on price match with this. The story is basic to get the job done, graphics are not top notch but colorful. Lack of breeding and competitive mechanics limits replay value but it is a lot of fun collecting pokemon between the Alpha pokemon, outbreak mechanic and shinies. Certain pokemon are tedious to catch though.

Highly recommend this game , first game in the series that is fully open world, RNG on Pokémon locations and sitings. Tons of hours catching fighting and leveling up Pokémon.. “Gota catch ‘em all”

[Employee of bestbuy] It’s a different game play style than other Pokémon games. I like how it is an origin story to what Pokémon games are now.

One of the few pokemon as of late to get me really back into the game. While definitely a departure from the normal series, it gives enough variety and change that kept me playing for days.

I got this game for my daughter and she has been playing it nonstop since she got it, only stopping to sleep and work. She LOVES it and says it is very addicting. Very pleased with this purchase.

Love this game, i have only played gen 1 games for the lost part but i still recommend this to anyone regardless of your pokemon knowledge level

This the first Pokémon I played, after several feed up from online source that started that the games was a good game. I’m surprised it really is a great game

Pokemon at is finest, very good game, and a excellent entry point for new fans of the series.

I love this game so much. It really captures the feeling of being a Pokemon trainer and is possibly the best Pokemon game to come along in years. It really feels like exploring a new land again.

Was looking forward to this game since the day got announced. I’m a huge Pokémon fan and was so excited for a new generation of Pokémon games. I can’t help but being incredibly disappointed by this game. It feels incredibly rushed and half developed. I don’t understand why the most profitable franchise in the world still can’t release a full-fledged game that doesn’t have graphics from 2006. What is there is decent it’s a fun game and I refresh in Pokémon game but it just feels incredibly lazy. The game is down right ugly at times and theirs very little excuses when beautiful games such as Xenoblade Chronicles 1-3 and Breath of the Wild look beautiful on the system. All in all this game is not worth the $60 price tag if you can find it for less than that it’s a fun game that should keep you occupied for a while but Its hard to shake the feeling that it is half cooked.

This time around was pretty good. I enjoyed Arceus more than the previous versions. I felt they ironed it out a few more issues. It's an open world style game which is nice, but sometimes it's too open. I also felt that if you weren't in a town/village area the areas were too sparse.

Game is exceptional! First Pokémon game I’ve enjoyed in a long time because it’s DIFFERENT. I really don’t have much more to say because if you like open world games, Pokémon styled, THIS IS IT!

Excellent gameplay that really changed up the formula while still remaining distinctly Pokemon, candidate for best Pokemon game of all time

Its a great change up in terms of pokemon game mechanics. I enjoy the new way of playing a pokemon game, and hope to see more of this style for them soon.

Good game and like the change, but wish they made it longer and added more features. Online battles would be nice and some other features. Not done with the game, but looking to finish it soon.

One of the best Pokemon games in recent time. The story, characters, and setting are all amazing.

Don't listen to outside reviews, anybody with negative comments are nitpicky. This is different than your standard Pokemon, and it is really really good. Would recommend to anyone at any age.

A1 11/10 - game is a little bit different style from The other games but they did it perfectly. Give it a good hour into the game and you’ll be hooked once you’re past all the set up / intro

It’s like playing Breath of the Wild: Pokémon edition. I would say it’s one of the best Pokémon titles available on the switch at the moment
