    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.

    One of the best Pokémon games I’ve played. I’ve been playing Pokémon since I was a kid and I liked the open world and ability to pursue your own storyline

    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.

    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!

    I got this game for my other nephew for Christmas (bought Scarlet for his brother). They both really enjoyed the game(s) and honestly watching them play made me wonder if I should buy a copy for myself to play at home.

    The story line is good, tons to explore, new pokemon, decent story lines with actual character development. Sure the graphics are not great, and there are some glitches but it's pokemon for the switch, not an fps for a pc

    Best Pokemon game in a long time. Be aware of some extreme performance issues, both docked and handheld. Still, hard to put this game down once you start playing it.

    Absolutely fantastic game and fun with the new switch 2 to play with. The switch 2 update that is free for the game allows you to play Pokemon the way the creators intended.

    Other than Pokemon Arceus, I have not been overly wowed by any of the newer pokemon games as of late, but this game has exceeded my expectations. I finished the game rather quickly because of how much fun I was having.
