The gameplay is pretty good. The graphics are not as good as Legends of Arceus and there are performance issues even on the OLED Switch.

Great game, the story is great and it is Pokémon what can go wrong, the only down side is the FPS drops and the graphics are a little bad, but it is a amazing game and definitely recommend Pokémon

Its a new pokemon game. But with sone interestings twists. The open world is nice, and the team star / path of ancients story lines are surprisingly moving. However technical bugs really prevent this gen from shining

Despite the performance issues this game is plagued with, this is an excellent entry into the Pokémon franchise. It is up there among my favorites. The revolution in gameplay and flow makes the game feel refreshing and fun. That along with being able to go where you want, when you want, gives much more freedom to the players. Not a perfect game due to performance and bugs, but a great step in the Pokémon franchise and what I would like to see going forward from future games.

The best Pokémon game I’ve ever played. The story is great and intriguing, the combat is action packed and visually pleasing, and the world is so fun to explore every nook and cranny.
I only wish GF had gone with the zones like they did with Arceus. Yes, it’s “cool” to have the entire game loaded up at once for you to run around in but it drastically takes away from the graphics and leaves the world looking blurry at range. Once I unlocked all of the fast travel points I mostly used them, which is a load screen anyways so having to load up difference zones in exchange for better visuals and performance would have been a welcome trade off.
Still a must have for Pokémon lovers and a great jumping on point for newcomers.

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Gold and Silver, and this one is amazing. I've heard if you don't have a switch 2 it's a bit buggy, but on the switch 2 it runs perfectly.

A very lengthy and enjoyable game! Aside from performance issues, there is a lot of content and the game steers away from the traditional pokemon formula, much more freedom within this game.

Great game and a new feel for pokemon games, just wish it could be on better hardware. There are technical problems currently with the title. Maybe a patch can fix it but who knows with game freak.

Great game lots to do and lots to explore. Very buggy and hoping they can fix the performance issues with a patch, but i dont think its possible. Seems like it needed more Q.A. testing before final release.

There are some technical issues but the game itself has been fun to play. It has a good story and some interesting changes in gameplay. It is the same experience as other Pokémon titles with some features.

It has it's flaws, both gameplay-wise and performance-wise (nothing gamebreaking), but it's still a decent Pokémon game that I think most will enjoy.

If you dont want to play a game that has a some bugs and crashes from time to time this is one you can skip but if you can look past the bugs and the framerate you will have a great time

This is a great game. Dont let the bad reviews let you down. The bugs in the game is the only complaint. And at best it will be patched later. People arent patient and that shows! Great game overall!

Gotta catch them all! It is a great game as other pokemon games before it. The battle scne had been revamp and pokemon updated. It still has the familiar game mechanics and the great storyline.

My girlfriend loves Pokemon games and this new one has improved graphics and gameplay that she loves. It's a little buggy even months after release, but still provides many hours of fun.
