    This game is awesome, I hope they take what they have made so far and develop a really great game. I just wish they would take more time to make these games.

    As with any pokemon game, you start off your journey in a new region paldea. With a whole new variety of pokemon to battle and catch, its a worthwhile experience

    Very Good, But Not Great - Still Worth a Buy

    One of the best installments in the Pokémon main games but not the best. I sincerely did not run into any glitches or technical issues. However, there are some aspects of the game that could have been better. For example, you are not able to catch mon by just throwing a poke ball at them like in Arceus. Why? Even though the game is not linear, you pretty much have to follow the story line in order to obtain enough gym badges to get higher level Mon to obey. You also have to take on some bosses to progress to new areas. TM building is tedious and unnecessary. Raids are too easy. With all of that said, this is still one of the best entries in series yet. Tons of new noteworthy Mon. A decent story/plot. More freedom than all entries other than Arceus. If you’re a fan of Mon just pick it up. You’ll be pleased but you’ll likely have some gripes.

    I almost didn't buy this because of all the complaints about bugs and glitches in this game, BUT after 25 hours into this game, I haven't really experienced any noticeable bugs or anything that has really impacted my gaming experience. The open world and story progression freedom is a lot of fun and incredibly rewarding. If you love Pokemon and an open world experience, don't hesitate to buy this.

    This game is great for that child that just won’t shut up when you’re trying to nap. Hours of fun for them and you get to sleep off that midweek hangover.

    First off, this game is worth buying if you can look past the performance issues and poor optimization. This is a good pokemon experience, and I can still play 5 hours at a time no problem, despite the issues. I haven’t had the game crash on me yet, but I have seen it happen to other people. So save often. Would be a 5/5 if they fix the myriad of issues plaguing it.

    The game does suffer from some weird clitches like floating Pokémon during battle. I think they should have delayed the game to work out the kinks.
