Got it for a family members kid and they loved it. Easy for kids compared to the main line games and also has mechanics from Pokémon Go which is also fun.

This is the first Pokemon game I've played since FireRed and LeafGreen. I tried getting into the 3DS titles, but just felt overwhelmed by the amount of Pokemon and features available. I decided to pick this game up to try and reignite my love of Pokemon games and it's definitely working! Yeah it's much more simplified than previous releases, but I don't mind at all. I do miss being able to battle wild Pokemon and then catching them. I love that you can see the wild Pokemon walking around in the grass and need to approach them in order to initiate an encounter. It also looks gorgeous. Can't wait for the next main title to release!

I love this! Takes me back to the red, blue, and yellow days but much more improved. A must-have for any Pokemon fan.

A love letter to the original Pokemon Yellow for the gameboy color. On the easy side but great game to add to your collection.

Love! Love! This definitely gives a lot of nostalgia. The only downside is not being able to battle wild Pokémon.

My son is 10 and it was easy for him to figure out and use. Lots of fun and hours of entertainment when he's allowed to use his free time on his switch.

Such an incredibly fun game! I’m not big on video games but this brings me back to my childhood and is such a fun way for me to spend time with the kids for game night. I wish we could explore more than the Kanto region in these games but it’s still such a fantastic time!

I really liked the game and overall upgrade of the graphics for the Switch. Outside of wishing for a harder difficulty it definitely fufilled my Pokemon nostalgia.

Got this game for my 7 year old niece. She absolutely loved it. I think it's the perfect introduction to Pokemon for kids who may not be familiar with the franchise. It's basically a remake of the old Pokemon Yellow that came out for the gameboy many years ago, but remastered for the modern age. The game looks great. The catching mechanic is easy for kids to grasp. She loved catching the different Pokemon and also having them follow her around the game. This also carries some nostalgia for people who played the original game 20 years ago. I think this is a great game and would strongly recommend.

this game is really fun to play, it has good story and great gameplay

Extremely fun game and super nostalgic!! Only thing I regret is finishing it off so quickly, but had a blast while I did !!

I am a huge fan of the first couple gens of Pokémon, the early games got so much right. So too, in suit, did let’s go pikachu, the spiritual successor of Pokémon yellow. Seeing the Pokémon alive in their world has been fantastic. The Pokémon go mechanics held me back from purchasing for a long time. They weren’t that bad when I started playing. handheld mode on my couch, aim and push a button. You could even get different sized mons for a little bonus and see shinies in the wild. However the motion controls in docked hold this title a little too far away to be a personal favorite. Docked mode will force a joy-con out of your hand in favor of a one remote play through. That along with no added support for pro controllers left this lacking. Don’t go into it expecting more than the “skyward sword” of Pokémon, unless handheld is all you play. All in all, worth a buy if a sale is on.

Kids, ages 15, 15 and 6, loved getting to add this to their Pokemon game collection. 15 year olds mastered it in no time at all.

This game is great, minus some of the new features. Like you can’t battle wild Pokemon... but it was still fun! 16 hours of gameplay if you rush a bit.

I grew up in the 90's. I was 13 when Pokemon Red & Blue dropped and 14 when I first played Pokemon Yellow (or Pokemon Pikachu as I called it). This game has brought back so many wonderful memories of my childhood and allowed me to pass a little bit of my childhood onto my little ones. My wife and I play this in co-op too, which is an awesome and totally unnecessary feature that I'm extremely happy they've added. It makes battles a little easy, but it's worth it to spend time together enjoying the game. The game is gorgeous. The graphics are great and probably my favorite thing about this game is seeing all of the old environments, Pokemon, and characters, recreated for today's console generation. The battle animations are awesome as well. If there's anything I don't love about this game, it's the soundtrack. The music is an orchestrated version of the music from the old Gameboy games, which is awesome, but it's just a lot more repetitive and a tad bit more obnoxious than it's 8-bit counterpart. I turned the volume down on the music so that the music during the longer trainer battles wouldn't get on our nerves. Pretty small complaint for such a great game, and a quick fix at that. I'm super stoked for the next big Pokemon game but this game is great in it's own way. Definitely worth playing for new and returning fans of the franchise.

I bought this in addition to the Eevee version, but quickly dropped this one since it didn't have the Pokemon I wanted in it. Either way, this is Pokemon Go, but as a full game. It's weird in that you do a lot of catching of Pokemon, but not a lot of battling. They really take the catchphrase "Gotta catch'em all" to heart! Because you will be catching every single Pokemon you come across to try to get the best stats- or maybe even a shiny. It's an alright mechanic, but can get rather boring after awhile. It's really no surprise the game is as polarizing as it is. You either love it, or hate it. The game is worth a try if you want something more casual, but given that normal Pokemon games are already pretty casual this might be spread too thin to really keep you involved for very long.

It’s esentually Pokémon yellow version but In 3D with Pokémon visibly running around the wild and Pokémon go catching mechanics. Having a blast with the game. Always fun to go back to Kanto and the original 151 Pokémon. And to the naysayers who said this game would be bad without wild Pokémon battles: it’s actually almost better. The reason being is you can see the Pokémon in the wild and avoid them if you wish. We all know the terror of running into 1 million zubats and caterpies randomly in the wild. In this game you get to avoid that mess. 10/10

Perfect for recreating the nostalgia of OG pokemon games in Kanto region. The wild pokemon catching mechanics have been taken from Pokemon Go and is equally disappointing, but everything else is great.

The game starts off very easy and you might think you’ll get past this thing in a couple of weeks, but there is so much more to the game. Despite making it easy to level up your team, the game becomes increasingly more challenging as you progress, but never feels overwhelming. I highly recommend this game to everyone! Also, you can acquire ALL of the original starters (Carmander, Squirtle, and Bulbasaur) just by doing some simple tasks. You might even be able to catch some duplicates too for trading.

Great game! Really enjoy it so far! Would recommend.
