Personally, I'm of the mindset that this is just the kind of shake up that the Pokemon franchise needs. Keep in mind that the mechanics are experimental so they do not work perfectly, but it allows for a foundations to move out of the archaic gameplay system that we have had for the past 25 years or so.

A great and fantastic PokeMon game, and it would be a delight if they made more in this style with the open world mechanics and persistent world battling system. This Poke'Mon game feels more alive than most of the other ones at this point.

Just started playing this based on recommendations from friends. Best way to describe the game is like a Pokémon open world version of Breath of the wild. I went with this game instead of Scarlet/Violet waiting till they fix their bugs and glad I’m giving Arceus a chance.

Since I grew up with the pokemon franchise, I pretty much played all the games that have come out. I stopped at "Let's Go Eevee/ Pikachu". It was the same copy and pace for every game. This is a lot different; which for me, after 20 years, is nice to have. It seems like they might change up the play format and that would be nice.

Huge step in the right direction for Pokemon fans everywhere. 20 years of playing pokemon and this one has sucked me into 40+ hours in the first 5 days. This is a must buy for any fan! Open world is a nice change, dodging is a lot like dark souls and stacking your team with alpha pokemon just seems right! Off to catch em all.....

A new experience with Pokemon gaming! It takes Professor Oak challenges to a new level.

I love that in order to fully beat this game.You had to collect all two hundred and fifty eight.Pokemon really gives you something to do throughout the video game.Super happy with this game hoped that the rest come out just as good

Love this game. Great price. Would absolutely recommend

Restored faith in the pokemon franchise a breath of fresh air after all the lackluster titles nintendo has been pushing out def worth a try as its one of the better side entries for the series

Absolutely the besg pokemon ive ever played on switch! Visuals were amazing on my switch 2 and the pace was amazing!

Fun new experience for pokemon battle against the god of pokemon (or with him) gotta catch them all

pre-ordered and purchased as a Christmas gift. Received it a couple days after release. A little frustrating, because when we have pre-ordered stuff in the past we actually received it ON the release date (maybe there was just a general issue with shipping).Either way, always happy with BB purchase. GReat game

This game brings hope for newer Pokémon games. It changes up things that have been the same for years. The game itself is fun and countless hours can be poured into the game. There are issues with this title, but many of them can be ironed out as GameFreak improves making more (semi) open-world titles and similar games.

Solid game, but nothing special. Pokemon Arceus delivers that old school nostalgia that us old school Pokemon gamers love. While it delivers a different game style unlike the traditional storyline Pokemon games, Arceus still packs a beautiful punch with giving trainers lots to discover!

I am really enjoying this game as somebody who's been very disenchanted with pokémon for many years now since the early DS days. I wanted to give this product my full recommendation as something that is truly different in the pokémon franchise, with a caviar of course. The game is pretty dated in terms of how it runs and how it looks, but if you can look past that you'll find something enjoyable.

This is one of the best Pokémon games. The pixels and animations are awesome!

This game is a lot of fun and I love playing it with my Son. We have such a great time running around and catching pokemon. Very unique game style in the Pokemon universe. I highly recommend it.

This game has so many quality of life improvements that have plagued the game since basically the beginning. They slightly changed how combat can work with the "styles." Gone are the days where you have to spam A every few seconds thanks to random encounters. I really hope the next gen sticks with this formula

I bought the switch recently solely just to play this game. It definitely has not disappointed me. I love the fact that you can either progress through the story or just roam around as you please. I spent the first couple hours just collecting every pokemon and exploring the map. If you’re a pokemon fan, its a must grab. Hundreds of hours of gameplay easily if you wanna complete the game entirely.

Great Game, different than the other Pokemon games but better in some ways!
