    This is probably the roughest release I've ever seen for a Pokemon game. There are a plethora of visual glitches and the game crashes pretty frequently. The crashes aren't that bad cause the game auto save frequently. That being said, its the most fun I've had with Pokemon since Gen 5.

    A good modern take for a pokemon game. Lore heavy towards the end. The frame drops can be pretty rough. Kind of feels like they are on the right track.

    Man, I play a lot of small studio games, and these has more problems than an alpha build.

    Meh I return the game. It’s like the processing power of the Nintendo switch cannot keep up with the gameplay ability. Or vice versa. Just doesn’t seem like this game was actually made specifically for the Nintendo switch and it’s hardware.

    This game has it's flaws, and you've seen the negativity around the games' graphics, but don't blame the game for the machine it's forced to run on. This game continues the legacy of game-play over everything else in the Pokemon series.

    It's so glitchy. It feels like I'm paying to beta test this game for Game Freak. It's hard to enjoy it like past Pokemon games. I'd wait until they release a major update to get it.

    Not the type of Pokemon game I like. Open world is too large with too many cliffs and rivers to negotiate. Some areas are too hard to get to. New Pokemon aren't appealing, not even the starter I chose. But I keep playing.

    While any Pokemon can suck you 'cause you gotta catch 'em all, this game was some what disappointing. The graphics and glitches leave a lot to be desired.

    This game was not what i was looking for. This game launched with a ton of glitches and frame rate issues. Not what I expected from a Pokémon game.

    A different spin on a classic game, but it's an update for the new generation that bridges the gap with the old generation. Need it change overall. Any pokémon fan would love this game

    There is so much to do in the game which is great for long play times. The map is huge and there are plenty of Pokémons around and battles to have. Great game to pick up.
