    Loving this game. The open world is so fun, especially sneaking up behind Pokemon to chuck a ball at them.

    This pokemon game is one of the greatest in the series! Scarlet and Violet falls behind compared to this game. The graphics are beautiful, the world is lively, and there's always something to do! In s/v there isn't much intresting stuff to do after post game and it's rather disappointing. This game is a purchase you will not regret!

    I love it! The game places you in a sort of a realistic version of reality in the game. If you let your guard down you're fish bait. This has a strong rpg feeling where you have more control over the game. Plot line is a bit lacking but sticks to the original gba version. The graphics are very similar to the zelda games for switch. I feel that the same group works on both. There's a lot of similarities between the two for graphics and sounds.

    What a breath of fresh air from the stagnant monotony of the current gen Pokemon games. Open world, time travel and Pokemon. It's a good time. Would love to see more Legends. Maybe with traditional battles added back in

    Fun new pokemon game! Remakes the formula so less trainer battles, and a bigger emphasis on catching.

    The Best Pokemon Game of the Past Decade.

    Pokemon Legends Arceus is the best Pokemon game of the past decade. This new style of gameplay has taken the wornout formula of Pokemon and finally brought refreshing new game mechanics to the franchise. Yes the tutorial section is a bit too long, but once you finally find yourself free in the world of Hisui to explore on your own you'll understand why fans of Pokemon have asked for a shake up in the series.

    This game was way better then i anticipated going in. I thought it was going to be the same old thing but i was pleasantly surprised.' The game follows the same basic formula but branches out from the norm and makes it unique. The stealth aspect of the game when trying to capture pokemon really brings it all together then the exploration of " oooo whats that over there" i really thought this was going to be boring but i was completly wrong

    This game was very fun to play and a nice change of pace from the traditional game play I've been playing since I was a kid on the original Gameboy. I didn't beat the game all the way, but it was still a lot of fun!

    This game is amazing and i definitely would recommend it. Almost left a bad review due to shipping times not being upon released as promised for elite plus members. Asides from best buys shipping methods being a let down once again, this Pokémon game is amazing and theres not other game like it. I see some people whining about grinding but if thats not for u don't go for it. I'd give this 9/10. Cant give a full 10 for what they did to palkia

    Interesting gameplay and new Pokémon catching experience. Might leave hardcore rpg fans and Pokémon fanatics itching for more, but I am genuinely enjoying Pokémon Arceus. I haven’t even finished because I get sidetracked stalking these new “alphas” for an hour. If you’re an old or new fan of the series I would I highly recommend this game, especially if you are a casual like me who was getting bored of repetitive cookie cutter games.

    This is an incredible game! I’m not a huge fan of pokemon and have not played many of the games. This is the perfect game to get me back in the franchise, it is an intuitive game that flows very nicely, always something to do, the battles are quick and easy to figure out. The open world is alot of fun, the day/night changes is cool as different pokemon come out! This game is not 100% perfect, but for Pokemon I think it is the best game.

    This game looks wise is the best we have had on the switch for pokemon games but i feel it is kind of slow paced compared to the rest of the titles in the beginning, at least for me because you get so side tracked catching pokemon. Honestly despite this its a great change of pace from usual Pokemon games and is the closest we have gotten to being in the world of Pokémon

    Being that this game was definitely rushed, it's still amazing and absolutely one of the best Pokemon games ever released. I have played almost every Pokemon game, but this one is so much different and it made me feel like I really need to catch them all. Much more mature too in my opinion. If you haven't played a Pokemon game in years because they feel like just repeats of the games before- Try this one out. It's a fresh start.

    Gotta be honest, when this game was announced and promoted via trailers, i thought the game looked empty and bland. So i avoided it... And ignored it.. until 10 months had passed and i decided to impulsively buy it. And i gotta say, this game is pretty amazing. I never knew this is what ive been longing for from a pokemon game, but it is. Please give this game a chance!
