    Yes, there are glitchs. No, many are not game breaking, but certainly can be annoying. Do me and my whole family still enjoy playing the game? Hell yes we do!!

    Best Pokemon Game for Catching/Collecting

    Really fun game. Collecting the pokemon is the best in this game with the open world and seeing what Pokemon are spawned. The battling is more optional in this game outside of story battles which for me is a plus. Not that I dislike the battling and it’s still there if that’s what you like but for me it’s more about the collectathon and I enjoyed the fact I could focus on that instead of battling NPCs constantly

    If it not for a mediocre at best in the performance category it would be a 5/5. Its pretty rough even for a Pokemon game. Hopefully it gets cleaned up but frame drops and glitches are just a normalcy at this point. If nothing else, this was a huge wake up for Nintendo to ramp up development of a more powerful Nintendo Switch which is likely around the corner.

    I love this dumb game so much. Yes it’s buggy. Yes it’s unfinished in A LOT of areas. But it is by far the best Pokémon game since White/Black.

    As always the Pokemon bundle pack delivers. It's a good way to easily get both games and some goodies. SV have a unique, fresh approach the series and take some inspiration from the amazing Legends: Arceus spin off game. My main complaint with SV is the graphics and network issues. The game looks worse than Sword and Shield in a lot of areas and the Terra Dens can be harder to connect to than the Raid Dens

    I will start off by saying there are performance issues with this game. The framrates drop and there seems to be a memory leak, however this game is SO FUN!!! I love seeing pokemon try a true open world adventure and I think they did an amazing job. The multiplayer is done so well and the raids are great! Highly recommend this game! I cant wait for DLC!

    One of the most fun main line Pokémon games I have played in a long time. Besides all the glitches and bugs the story is great, game play is fun, and the open world is a great step in the right direction for Pokémon as a series. The double pack is great because you get the extra Pokéballs to make the start of the game easier.

    I had an absolute blast playing these games. I do wish Game Freak spent a little more time and love on it before releasing with all the bugs, but the style of play is exactly the direction Pokémon needs to be going on. If only they'd head in that same direction graphics and function wise...

    This has probably the best story and characters of a pokemon game in recent memory. It's also the most fun I've had in a pokemon game that I can remember. But it's horrendously broken, with frame drops being the norm and many many bugs with varying levels of severity from a visual bug to full crash or inability to move

    Very fun games. The farming to levels your pokemon gets a little tedious but other than that it is as fun as any pokemon game.

    Game is good, but just a lot of stuttering and low fps at times. Pretty fun but the hardware of Nintendo switch is reaching its peak maximum performance. However, purchase experience from Best Buy sucks horribly. There are no free gifts on pre-orders, and they deliver the product to me late after the launch day. Extremely disappointing.
