    My almost 13 year old son is still obsessed with Pokémon. This game was a XMas gift and was a slam dunk of a purchase. He plays it on the Nintendo Switch as often as we will let him. He loves this game

    Got this when the priced dropped to $30 bucks. I dont think this will go any lower than that. The game has some new features that the original game did not have so it actually made the game play interesting.

    Pokemon games are my daughter's favorite. This one did not disappoint. Best Buy makes it convenient to carry all the new releases and also offers digital downloads.

    It’s Pokémon and so the kids really wanted it. They played it less than a handful of time and lost interest fairly quickly. It seems like every other Pokémon game out there. You play one, you’ve played them all.

    As usual, Game Freak has done a great job of porting this DS original to the Switch. It was a blast playing this again!
