Customer Ratings & Reviews

It plays good and is good fun, but not as good as the other Legends game, Arceus. They put too much into the battle system and the graphics are meh even on the switch 2.

I enjoy the overall game even though it seems it was produced kind of last minute. But one thing Im most sad about is the fact that I wasn’t able to get the preorder item, despite preordering. I will not be preordering from Best Buy again. They should mention Preprder is while supplies last, cause at that point if they were giving the preorder item to people who didn’t preorder and bought game day off, without prioritizing preorders is such a SmH moment.

The one star review is for Best Buy. Dear Best Buy, be better. For this game you promoted a pre-order “bonus” and fell through on your promotion. A small “disclaimer” of ‘while supplies last’ is garbage when you keep the promotion advertised while you know you have already met the quantity of mats produced in comparison to pre-orders placed. I made my order in September for the pre-order after seeing the marketing for the bonus mat. If you knew you had limited quantities then take the promotion down once that has been reached, its called best practice. Pokémon Center did it, take notes. Very disappointed in the lack of simple math, coordination and business practices you have shown during this game release. Not to mention my game was LATE and did not arrive until the 20th of October when the game released on the 16th. I regret not ordering from Pokémon Center and giving Best Buy a chance. But anyway I returned this game, and bought it else where so your loss not mine tbh. As for the game its 10/10 super fun and a great game to play after completing Pokémon Violet.

This game couldve just been a switch 1 game graphically and most of the game feels very uninspired. The game is technically open world but theres not really much interaction with it. For example you cant go in about 95% of the buildings and the npcs have less lively interactions than the early generation of pokemon games. If youre a big fan of the series this may satisfy you. If youre looking to get into pokemon for the first time.... look elsewhere.

Pleased with my purchase of this game, prefer over digital version.

I am a pokemon traditionalist and was not the biggest fan of Legends Arceus but this game is incredible. The gameplay, story and setting will keep you hooked.

Bought it for my brother for his bday. He has been in love with the game! Package sadly arrived a day or two later than intended, but it also came with the preorder bonus, so no complaints.

Amazing Game. Graphics and processing power on the switch 2 really bring this game to life.

Definitely good but it's a little too much of a change for my taste. I liked the new combat mechanics but some of the open world aspect and just having one city got almost boring.

Good game for the Pokémon fan. It is also backward compatible with the switch one

Game is exactly aa promoted and BestBuy was quick and easy in providing my copy. The extea preorder bonus they provided was a very nice quality game mat

Good game and has alot of new features to try out and going to make this game last hah.

Fun game. Works great on my Switch 2. Provides me with ours of enjoyment.

The best Pokémon game in years. It finally feels like there’s something to do in the game rather than just meander around like the two previous Mainline generations.

Love the game! Its new mechanics make it a fresh new experience for pokemon fans. I would highly recommend this game if you were thinking of getting it

My 6 year old lives it, great Christmas gift! Anyone who lives pokemon will live this

It’s Pokémon. Easy to play and an excellent choice for kids and adults alike. My only gripe with the game is the 4 move limit. I think it should be 5!

Very good intro to pokemon if its your frist time playing any pokemon game

Grandsons love this game … ages 11 & 9. And I love seeing the smiles on their faces!

My God what were they thinking? Complete laziness. The game takes place completely in the city. The worst part about the game is the graphics. Get use to game freak sticking to dated GameCube graphics, because that’s basically what it is with a 4K upscale. The gameplay, however, is ok. Had I known how poorly the game was done I wouldn’t have paid full price.
