The game has a good story line, well thought out, and is better on the switch due to portability.

First try at a pokemon game - i just cant get into the turn based mechanics of this game. Only thing i like is the semi open world and when you fight the boss pokemon it has some action where you throw some bean bags at it - but then it goes back to turn based combat. Just not the game type for me.

good game. open world style pokemon. fun and easy to get going

Honestly, at this point, I think Gamefreak just doesn't have it no matter what they do. I'd love for them to put out another banger but I just don't think it'll happen. Not a good game here though, just more of the same.

Very nostalgic as I remember playing my game boy with a friend and seeing how Pokémon has evolved, this was a game us “older” folks wish we had years ago. Oh and my 7 year old loves this game too….

My son has been looking forward to this game. He just got it in his but the last couple of hours entertained. He enjoys playing this game as a distraction from his studies and uses it often when he takes breaks.

Changes up the old formula of the traditional Pokemon series. Love being able to free roam and see the monsters I'm trying to catch. Nice to see how this connects to Gen 3.

This game will challenge the best players in the world. The game is both fun and hard all at the same time. Once you start, you can’t put the game game. Shiny hunting is easy once you figure out the pattern.

Love this game, i have only played gen 1 games for the lost part but i still recommend this to anyone regardless of your pokemon knowledge level

This game is by far my favorite, I like how it is different from the other Pokémon games, the storyline is also good. It is also nice that you can capture both legendary Pokémon from pearl and diamond.

I am late to this game but absolutely love the modern open world design of this game. finding pokemon out in the wild is such an awesome experience.

Excellent gameplay that really changed up the formula while still remaining distinctly Pokemon, candidate for best Pokemon game of all time

I think this was one of my most favorite Pokemon game. It was quite refreshing from the long time same gameplay we get every year.

Huge fan of everything Pokémon! This game hooked me as the rest of the Pokémon games did!

If you grew up playing Pokémon and enjoy an open-world experience, I highly recommend this game. Ended up buying two copies because my girlfriend and I got competitive shiny hunting.

Center your chi in this wild world full of overly aggressive pokemon. 10/10 game slaps.

The game is great. It's a fresh breath in the Pokemon series. It's genuinely fun to seek out and catch pokemon and to try to fill out your pokedex. Entering new regions and discovering new pokemon is exciting! It's held back by graphics which are at times distractingly bad. The landscape draw distance is poor and objects pop in as you run. Still a lot of fun. 8/10

Worth the buy, great game. Felt like a breathe of fresh air compared to playing the Pokémon games that having been coming out.

I love this game!! I feel they should have newer version of Pokémon Arceus. Also I like the new features of the world map gameplay. This should be integrated into new Pokémon Arceus 2 that’s in the near future.

It's a good game. I have fun playing it. I recommend you buy it.
