Not all of the 600+ pokemon are in this game which is something a lot of people were upset about. I can see why that can be a bummer but there are alot of pokemon still in the game and it took along time to finish the pokedex. There are alot of new, cool pokemon with a ton of old ones. A satisfying story and a good mix of pokemon. Still entertaining 20 years later.

It’s all about the wild area and raids. Story is mediocre plus you have an annoying rival, but it’s the wild area that keeps me coming back. I have Shield and I need 64 more Pokémons to get my 400.
After I get 400 I’ll be purchasing the DLC.
It’s a fun Pokémon game for people that can afford it. Bad reviews are from cheap people.

Overall this game was amazing. I wasn't expecting to like it so much. The last pokemon game I've played was pokemon emerald since then I haven't really played any pokemone games but, I can say it is a great game. It brought back the Pokemon memories I had back then. It's a fun game that continues to a new adventure if you buy the expansion pass.

I've been waiting for Pokémon to finally come to the big screen (of the living room) for 20 years, and with Pokémon Sword, in no way have I been disappointed.
For context, I completed the original Pokémon Red/Blue games back in the day, and played some of the Pokémon games after, while skipping some generations entirely. Many people are upset that you can't catch or have every pokémon possible in Sword/Shield, but to be honest, this didn't bother me, because I thought you always had to start over and re-catch pokémon with each generation/installment. There is always the possibility that this is comes via game update/patch anyway.
The game systems have been streamlined to make things less tedious, like traveling, or switching out Pokémon between your party and storage boxes. There feels like there is a lot to do in the game. I have at least 45+ hours into the game, but only have 3 of the badges so far. I haven't tried out any of the multiplayer features, but hope to do that soon.
If you're a fan of Pokémon, this game is a no-brainer in my opinion. I'm curious to see how they advance the series in future installments!
