Its a great game. Fun game play. I like the battle system. Its fun and refreshing. The map is a little empty but I still love it so much.

Excellent Pokemon game! Took me about 30-35 hours to beat the main story, including some time spent goofing off, and up to 60 hours overall. Story is top notch for the series. Gameplay feels fresh with the new real time combat system, but it still feels like Pokemon. I wish the city was a bit larger, but at the same time I never felt liked it really needed to be. Overall, an easy game to suggest for any Pokemon fan.

I really enjoy the game. Graphics are smooth compared to previous games, battles are seamless without delay (no cutscene), same catching mechanic as Arceus BUT you have one chance to catch a Pokémon after its HP hits zero (can still fail). Just remember, while moves can be used as many times as they want there is a cool down and if you throw a poke ball and it doesn't hit a Pokémon you can see the guy outside a Pokémon Center to get it back

This Pokémon game on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a lot of fun. The visuals look great, gameplay feels smooth, and the open exploration adds a fresh twist to the series. Battles are engaging and it’s enjoyable for both longtime fans and new players. Highly recommended.

I have been waiting for this game for the longest time. I have enjoyed the mess out of it. One of the greatest pokemon games to have been created. Great Storyline, Amazing Mechanics, and overall has me glued to my screen wanting and excited to play it every night. Genuinely one of the best pokemon games for the switch since Legends Arceus. 10/10 Recommended.

Fun new twist on a franchise that has needed a new jolt excitement. Gone away is the traditional turn based RPG to now of a more of a action RPG in a sense when controlling your Pokémon. Graphics still aren't amazing for a switch 2 game when compared to the switch 1 version. Game does run smoothly and load times are almost completely gone. Nice step in the direction for the Pokémon company and hopefully something they build on in the future.

The game itself is good - I have over 40 hours in it already, though people were very skeptical before it came out. With new DLCs on the way, I’m predicting it’s only going to get better. Runs smoothly on the Switch 2. If only Nintendo had a small price tag on their Switch 2 games it would have been the best. If you’re into collecting physical games then go for it; else stick to cheaper, digital versions.

This game is trying to reinvent the pokemon gaming experience, and it largely succeeds. Really it's only shortcoming is the highly repetitive nature of all pokemon games, as well as the very small city map you get to explore. Hopefully future pokemon games won't need to be Switch 1 compatible and Gamefreaks can take greater risks with the game.

Heard a lot of negative things about the game, but I decided to give it an unbiased chance and actually really enjoyed the gameplay. It does leave you wanting to explore more outside of the city, though. Would recommend you giving it a chance and not letting others form your oppion for you.

I give this game a 10/11 because it’s fun and probably the best switch 2 game out so far. There’s a lot of content to keep you busy and the new game play is fun. I haven’t beat the game yet but it does have a good story. The few things that I wish the developers added was giving another form of transportation like a bike or skateboard like in previous games though you can fast travel to previous places you’ve been to as well being able to fly with your pokemon like in legends arceus to get to the rooftops you want to get to a lot faster it would have made the game that much more fun. If you’ve played arceus and didnt like it give this game a shot the game has a lot more content and mega evolution definitely makes it more interesting and exciting. Also if the developers are thinking about making a 2nd dlc from the one is already out. Expand outside of lumious city to go to the snow area of kalos and cave areas also it needs lakes and or beaches because the game is missing Kingdra and lapras and also Gliscor. But overall it is great game for the new Nintendo Switch 2.

I’ve been playing this game for awhile now, and even after completing the main story I am still finding new things to do! There are so many cute Pokemon to collect, and the new battle mechanic is so much more exciting than past Pokemon games! I love it, my only complaint is that i wish the map was bigger.

Despite what you read from people who haven't played the game, Legends ZA is a great addition. Lumiose City is a lot of fun to play through and the gameplay loop of the ZA Royale, Rogue Megas, side missions, and catching is a lot of fun. The Rogue Mega battles have been my favorite part!

I really enjoy the real time battle mechanics. It has a good story and greatly builds on the Mega-Evolution mechanics of Generation 6. My only major complaint is the online multiplayer is just a spam-fest of high powered attacks.

Great game with great new mechanics! Graphically it still looks like a switch game, and looks close to its predecessor Legends Arceus, but it does well to make the Pokemon and people feel much more lively. Catching is slightly more simple with less tools like smoke bombs and bait, but the new battle mechanics are amazing and exciting. Online battles are slightly more simple, but gives a smash brothers feel with a lot more of a welcoming for casuals system of scoring and strategy. I really love this game, it’s addicting and the constant danger creates a lot of memorable moments. Buy this more for the gameplay than the looks, but it does run smooth and load fast. Might be a bit more difficult at first for new and younger gamers but it’s a lot of fun and worth the effort to learn.

It's a good change of pace, but the world feels a bit small. The battles are fun, but the next game should combine those mechanics with an old-school turn-based system.

I have always been a fan of the older regions so I'm always a little skeptical when Pokemon releases a new game. I was worried that the difficulty would be too easy since that's the trend of games nowadays. I would say that the game did have some difficult moments like against alpha pokemon and rogue mega evolutions. But it was easy otherwise. I will say - do not train your pokemon over the level cap. I had trained my Lucario to be level 81 and he kept on disobeying over and over again. It wasn't too bad though. I just expected to be able to use him since I already caught him pre level 80. The battle mechanics kept me interested in the game. I caught every pokemon except for legendaries and the tradable ones.

Gameplay plays very similar to Legends: Arceus instead of the main Pokemon series. Performance is a step-up compared to previously released Pokemon games on the Switch (Scarlet/Violet and Sword/Shield. Game brings back mega evolutions with new and old additions.

Compared to the last legends game, the map is incredibly small, environments leave much to be desired, and while the new battle system is fun the lack of pokemon abilities is yet another mind boggling omission. But if your a die hard pokemon fan like me you can't miss a single game anyways.

I got this game on release day and ever since I've been playing it almost daily. I love the gameplay loop and the story was really good. I would definitely recommend picking up this new pokemon game

ordering from best buy was so easy! ready to be picked up super fast, show up, show email, and enjoy! Game is great. definitely a different take on battling. Wish there was voice acting. Otherwise, great game!
