Customer Ratings & Reviews

I had my doubts, significant doubts, about this game. I didn't buy Pokemon Legends: Arceus because of them. But I have completely finished my copy of Violet and wanted the newest entry. Because I love Pokemon. It hits all the things I love in a game, and I could avoid the elements I don't like (they're there, but they're not required). I started with Pokemon Gold, and I've been playing since. So, let's be clear. This is different than what I like, or what I want in a Pokemon Game. It's like Pokemon Go, only worse. There are elements I like - I like the flexibility to change moves and change names. I like the rewards for catching pokemon several times. I like some of the complexity. And there are meh things that are promising, but just don't float my boat. I like that looks aren't gender-locked, but the vast majority are feminine or genderless. I like masculine clothing. I'm sure there are other people who do. There isn't any, but there are very definite feminine outfits. Maybe it's the art style. I like that when you miss with a pokeball, you get it back. I don't like that you can miss. I like the number of quests. I don't like that so many of them are platform activities. And I hate that you can be directly attacked by pokemon. I'm at the very end of the game; and I can't complete it. Because I am really bad at hand-eye coordination. And I've gotten stuck over and over in this game because a key element of the gameplay is that you have to dodge direct attacks. I got through the game by really overleving my team (and that's easy to do, so there's that), but of course now I have a team of 90+ trying to beat the final (technically post-game) thing, and there's nowhere to level to. Yeah, the solution to my frustration is to "get good" as the kids say. But that's not my jam with Pokemon. So here's the summary: if you like platformers and games where you dodge and jump and run around the screen and you like Pokemon, you will love this game. I love Pokemon because I don't like games where you have to jump and dodge and run around to succeed, and this game ain't that. I should have bought Scarlet instead. I would have scared my cat less.

Legends ZA is a game that asks itself, “Legends Arceus was excellent— how can I be that and more?”, and it delivers. The condensed setting of Lumiose City was the perfect choice, as it allows you to become engrossed in this city & its people. The real time action gameplay is a far cry from Pokémon’s standard turn based gameplay, but is a necessary breath of fresh air. I cannot recommend this game enough.

I love this game and really like how to made that seasonal battle grounds and the battle in game it great

A fun and unique entry into the series that has taken an entirely new twist with its fast-paced combat. Any fan of Pokemon would likely be very entertained with just how immersive the world feels. Just know that competitive battling is much easier on Switch 2 due to its higher framerate.

Best Buy makes getting last min needs easy, I was able to order this game for my brother online and pick it up the next day! He loved this game so much he convinced his friends to get it as well so they could all play together! Great purchase

Great game. A new and refreshing take on pokemon. A definite play.

Love its new way to play pokemon. New battle mechanics and new mega evolutions.

Excellent game I love, the way of combat, the catch Pokemon I like everything.

One of my favorite games on the Switch. It has been really relaxing and enjoyable to me after playing it for already a few months. There is a lot to do and the storyline actually has me hooked! I really love all the characters in this game as well as the selected Pokémon and Mega Evolutions.

Great game with awesome story and graphics. Store made buying it a breeze.

This is not going to fancy every single pokemon fan but once you go 3d for pokemon, then you are probably not going to back to turn base. The combat and item gathering is rather fun to do, it gets you exploring the main world. You require battling at night, which is where you get a day and night shift. This occurring all the time can be annoying sometimes

Great game, awesome mechanics despite other reviews

I will never understand why this game has gotten so much backlash, it is so complete, as enclosed as some people might feel about the size of the game; I'm not going to be the one to complain about it because I've enjoyed it very much. I just got the Switch 2 so I got the upgrade package and the game ahs never looked and felt better.

Love the new graphics and play of the game. Would recommend for a Pokémon fan

Fun game overall, with lots of new shiny Pokemon available. Campaign/story is a bit basic, but the battle system is high-octane (for a Pokemon game) and each battle goes quickly. New Mega Evolutions are a mixed bag, with a few standouts and some very odd designs. This is definitely a game for Pokemon collectors/shiny hunters and not anyone looking for a particularly gripping story or depth of character.

Partner preordered it and has been playing nonstop since! They love all things Pokémon, especially when it comes to games, and they’ve been all over this one. I’m not a Pokémon gamer myself, but if you have someone in your life that LOVES Pokémon, I definitely recommend this game.

The game itself is very good. But unfortunately, I had trouble with the delivery. They said it would arrive the next day, so I thought I could buy it and it would arrive on release day. But the next day it changed to almost 5 days later than advertised, and unfortunately, I played the game long after its release.

Really fun mechanics - like Arceus before it. A fresh take on the Pokemon franchise that I’m enjoying a lot. My one gripe is that they changed some things that make the game easier - which is not a bad thing by itself - but I just wish we had a little control in that (like some settings) where we could adjust the difficulty to our liking. Even with that, I am having a ton of fun with the game

This game is somewhat controversial, many of the criticisms are valid.However, I found myself playing it nonstop for a week and a half. Im someone who hasn't touched the series since sword and shield originally dropped, it was a fun experience. If you love pokemon i recommend it. If not pass it up .

Runs great, looks greats, fun combat. A must buy!!
