    When researching whether to preorder from best buy they claim to ship games to arrive on release day or atleast close to it. and yet when i check the day before the game is released it is not even shipped. When I try to cancel it claims that I cannot cancel once the label has printed despite not shipping yet. Possibly the worst place I have preordered from out of every major website. The game arrived 5 days after release day btw with not option for priority shipping.

    Cant stand this game. Theres not a traditional pokemone storeyline. Its a weird research game to fight and capture so many of certain pokemon. I pre-ordered it, unfortunately opened it, and was let down by the gameplay. Omce opened you cant return it, so now im stuck with it.

    I pre-ordered this game under the assumption that I would get it on release day like how pre-orders are SUPPOSED to work. However, bestbuy seems to think the best time to send out the game is late evening of release day from several states away. Never buying a single thing from bestbuy again and just going with Amazon because as bad as amazon is at least they get the packages to you on the promised date.

    Placed the order which specifically claimed arrival on release day. Come release day I got notification it will ship and arrive Tuesday the 1st. Immediately cancelled all other pre-orders with BB and will walk into the store Tuesday with the game still in it's shipping bubblewrap envelope and return it for a full refund. For the record I ended up going digital thru the e-shop on release day.

    The best Pokemon game in a decade or more

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I admittedly went into Legends with low expectations, having been burned on sub-par Pokemon experiences as of late. The only truly exciting Pokemon game since X & Y for me had been New Pokemon Snap, due in large part because it wasn't an RPG and didn't play like a traditional Pokemon game. Legends, however, strikes a great balance between exploration and the RPG roots of the mainline titles. The areas to explore are much bigger than I anticipated and every square inch has items to collect or Pokemon to discover. There's nothing quite like seeing your first alpha Pokemon after turning your camera, and the fear it puts into you as you sneak past it (or engage it in battle and swiftly meet your end). Even 25 hours in, I am still getting that feeling of almost limitless discovery, of fear whenever I stray onto the territory of a new intimidating alpha Pokemon. Legends wants you to explore its world but always do so with caution. Its best you to take in your surroundings, line up your target Pokemon, and throw your ball at it (which always is satisfying no matter how small or large the Pokemon is). And I thought it would get old after a while, but it just doesn't. The plot is nothing to write home about, and neither are the visuals. It looks fine, honestly better than I expected after seeing the trailers for almost a year, but it doesn't have the jaw-dropping visual spectacle of something like Breath of the Wild. But it doesn't have to, with a gameplay loop as satisfying as it is. I won't go so far as to say that this the best Pokemon has ever been. But its definitely up there, and definitely something new and exciting for a franchise that has stagnated in recent years.

    The game is not like the original Pokémon and there needs to be more fighting of other trainers. Too much story conversations and barely any battles
