While the game clearly has some performance issues, like drops in frame rate and bugs, the storyline and some of the mechanics are pretty great. I recommend for long-time fans of Pokémon.

You've probably heard about the performance issues, which are truly bad, but the game is so fun that I still think it's a 4/5 star experience. Love to see the ambition from Game Freak

Groundbreaking Pokemon game. Massive open worlds you share with Pokemon seamlessly unfolds as you explore alone or with friends. It's one of the main reasons to own a Switch and a must have for Switch owners, especially Pokemon fans!

Only downside, as everyone else has mentioned, are the small technical issues here and there. Doesn’t bother me as much, however. Overall good gameplay, it’s Pokemon.

I spent launch weekend playing this game. Overall, it’s fun at times, and it’s nice for Pokémon to be in an open world. However, there are several technical problems. Frame rates are horrible and all over the place. This shows most often in NPCs walking or the windmills turning. It’s very choppy. The Pokémon storage boxes will fade to black and take a second to load all the Pokémon you’ve caught. People and shadows will flicker in and out. Camera control is a little wonky. There are times when the camera will show what’s underneath the world. This game could have spent more time in development. On the plus side, after doing the beginning part of the game, you really can go anywhere and do the three main storylines in any order you wish. There is no level scaling so that means you might meet a Pokémon or a trainer who is beyond your current team. Bottom line: the game does just enough to be engaging, but the performance issues are too numerous to ignore. If you are a casual player, I recommend waiting to see if Game Freak issues some patches before buying. If you are devote Pokémon fan, then you will enjoy this game despite the warts.

The story and base game was slightly above average with plenty of things to do this time around, although somewhat overwhelming. However, the grahpics pedrormed very poorely on certain parts of the map. I defiently had below 15 frames per second at many points and the game would run slow

I really like rhe story and that it has 3 different path ways. You can either face a abnormal pokemon, face gyms or face a bad team like team rocket.
