    As for as a Pokémon game goes it fulfills all that you would want in it. Only reason that it isn’t going to be 5 stars is because of the occasional performance issues it has. The game is still very playable these just cause minor inconvenience.

    Insanely fun game and great start to Generation 9 of Pokémon. Aside from the occasional glitches and lag this is a solid open world game for the Pokemon franchise

    Probably the best Pokémon game, but the worst at technical level. Lot of graphical and performance problems. Pokémon has never stood for their graphical quality, but in my opinion, this is bad even for a Pokémon game. Basically, you have to play this in handheld mode and keep closing frequently to have an acceptable experience, which I cannot pass. The gameplay game loop is fun, and really saves the game. But honestly after so much mediocrity lately, I don't think these games are recomendable, at least in this state. If you are interested, wait for patches.

    One of the best newer pokémon games that has come out! So many hours of game play and the DLC’s were loads of fun, too.

    The concept of the unique pokemon is kinda odd, and they didn't get names. But the game as a whole is well done and enjoyable. There are a lot of the old mechanics mixxed with all the new stuff. so after several decades of Pokemon it is still suprising me.

    Solid gameplay features but definitely has bad frame drops and lag. Graphic quality is way less than GameFreak is capable of, but still fun.

    I love this game personally. I know some people don’t like it though. It does have some frame rate issues and pretty often honestly, but I still have fun.

    really great addition to the Pokémon franchise...it seems like they get better and better but also remain true to the originals from the 90's

    Excellent game. I ordered it to be picked up from the store but it took forever (possibly because it is a very popular game) so I decided to get it delivered. It came to me in a relatively short time. It was packed very nicely.

    The bugs are not as bad as I heard they could be, but the graphics are indeed a step backwards from Sword/Sheild. Im enjoying the experience so far, but i am treating this game like an early access game rather than a complete one.

    Very good game , graphics are not so great but I like the new concept and direction pokemon is going with these games. Very easy to catch a lot of shinies but the bugs could get a little bit frustrating

    This game is open world and is good for those who like to explore. One of the best things of this game is being able to play with friends or family at the same time. It does have a couple of weird visuals but overall a good game.

    Takes pokemon in a good direction but can be a lot better. Performance is terrible, not a lot of content but open world concept is cool.

    Does the game perform poorly? Yes. Does the game have bugs? Yes. Is it the best Pokémon game weve had in years. Also yes. Its fun. Its new. Its exciting. Focusing on the good, its really enjoyable. Its awful and i cant stop playing it.

    I liked the open area, customizability, more pokemon interactions etc. I expected for the price and the terrible storyline it would have more setting options. some bugs.

    Don't buy into the over critical nerds who have to complain about everything and youll find another super pokemon adventure here. Lots to do and tons of pokemon to catch, it will keep you occupied for much more than just a weekend!
