    Been doing this since red and blue. Its crazy to think we (the fan base) wanted to get this back in the nintendo 64 era and finally we have a open world game in 2022. Pretty challenging since last game was a cake

    Disappointed with some of the graphics and scene transitions. Other than that it has a nice twist to acrceus and still feels like the gold old Pokémon that we all love.

    Super fun game, lots to do and dozens of hours of gameplay. I love the sandbox features of the game, you can make your own fun. Shiny hunting is cool too.

    I love this game, I’d rank it the best game yet of the series. I’ve had nothing but a blast, even when bugs and slow fps are apparent. If you can look passed these sort of things, it’s sure to give you a wonderful experience

    The game is very fun, very engaging BUT the graphics are super crunchy. Hopefully it gets better with updates but for now some sections are horrible. It's not unplayable, but it's unpleasant to the eye.

    Great idea but not we’ll optimized. The vision is there but when it comes to rendering the background at a certain distance you can tell the frames drop and it’s not as smooth.

    The open world is filled with things to see and do, and of course, tons of Pokemon (in this game especially). There's been a lot of lessons learned and new developments from past games, and this could have been one of the best Pokemon games ever. The only things holding it back from 5 stars are 1) there's a lot of glitches and bugs, a shocking amount for a modern Nintendo game, that Nintendo/Game Freak has not fixed yet and 2) Pokemon Legends Arceus did some things better.

    Pokemon, Pokemon, Pokemon. Pokemon never really changes but the open world experience is a fantastic one. With few patches to optimize the game this could be one of the best in the franchise.

    This is the best Pokémon game to come out in a long time. The open world and different missions are cool, it’d perfect if the framerate could be fixed soon. I personally haven’t had any major bugs.
