    40-year-old who hasn't played since gen 3. Couldn't ask for a better experience, all the magic of learning new Pokemon and playing for the first time again yet still capturing the nostalgia of my high school years. My alpha Snorlax is named King Buffet and I love him.

    Super fun free roaming Pokémon game. Complete the Pokédex in ancient Husui! Downside is a lot of dialogue in the beginning.

    I bought this as a birthday gift for my 24 year old son. He is a Pokemon fan and looked forward to receiving this game. He hasn't stopped playing it since he got it, other than to eat or sleep! That is high praise from him. He has not complained about any game play that has problems or is glitchy or could have been done better. He says the game is similar to Breath of the Wild, but with Pokemon. The artwork in the game is beautiful. I have peered over his shoulder while he plays a few times.

    At a decent percent off on a fairly popular and enjoyed game, this was a no brainer. I couldnt even find it used that low. Now the game itself is a good addition to the brand and adds new mechanics and has a heavier focus around the classic “catch ‘em all” phrase. The end boss being directly related to having done so. A wonderful game. The hidden boss surprised me, which in a Pokemon game is refreshing.

    Legends Arceus marks quite the departure for the typical Pokemon formula. It allows for exploration like never before.

    Incredible game so far, and the story line is quite interesting. This is definitely the Pokémon game I have been waiting to play, especially with the portability of the switch. The game that made squeezing every free moment you had to play, saving over and over, just evolved. Side note, why the one star on a game because it didn’t ship in time? If you can’t wait, go and pick it up. -_-

    I grew up during the original Pokémon craze, and played regularly up until Sun and Moon. I have just not been able to get into the most recent games, but this one changes things up and makes me feel like I’m 8 years old again. Tedious menus and grinding are gone, and the joy of catching Pokémon in a wide open area is what I always thought Pokémon would be when it came to consoles. Can’t recommend enough, especially if you were a big fan that has felt left out over the years!

    What a breath of fresh air from the stagnant monotony of the current gen Pokemon games. Open world, time travel and Pokemon. It's a good time. Would love to see more Legends. Maybe with traditional battles added back in

    This game was very fun to play and a nice change of pace from the traditional game play I've been playing since I was a kid on the original Gameboy. I didn't beat the game all the way, but it was still a lot of fun!

    Bought this game for my partner and he loves it so much that now I’m going to have to get the next games as well! He has always loved playing Pokémon games and plays this game almost every single day and I believe he has already completed it. It is a beautiful game and I was lucky for the chance to have it. We came from Indiana to Kentucky for it as, everywhere else was sold out. Thankful for that Best Buy and it’s employees for the excellent customer service.

    Im in love with the game. It brings a new, fun story line with modern graphics to a beautifully designed world. While the game does not have all pokemon or traditional trainer battles, there are opportunities to catch tons of pokemon and interacting with other characters. The game isnt super difficult but has a ton of content to keep players busy and challenged.

    This pokemon game is one of the greatest in the series! Scarlet and Violet falls behind compared to this game. The graphics are beautiful, the world is lively, and there's always something to do! In s/v there isn't much intresting stuff to do after post game and it's rather disappointing. This game is a purchase you will not regret!

    This game looks wise is the best we have had on the switch for pokemon games but i feel it is kind of slow paced compared to the rest of the titles in the beginning, at least for me because you get so side tracked catching pokemon. Honestly despite this its a great change of pace from usual Pokemon games and is the closest we have gotten to being in the world of Pokémon
