Brings back Pokémon go nostalgia, great time and super fun, a easy game to chill out to.

My son is over the moon about this game. It was a little difficult for him on the first day, but now he’s playing like a pro. I love that the levels are difficult because he will be able to play this for months before beating the game. There’s nothing worse than a game the kids love, but are able to beat every level the first week of playing. I will likely get him the poke ball so he can use it playing this game and playing on my phone. At bestbuy I even got a beautiful silver case for the game with eevee and pikachu on it.

The game is over all good with it's graphics and story. However, it's not like the traditional Pokemon versions I have played since day one. It's a mixture of both Pokemon yellow and Pokemon go. And that's not bad at all; it's just not that great for me.

This game is a way for any new players to get into Pokémon. It’s not very hardcore and better suited for casual players. But it is a great experience nonetheless. The motion controls are a little buggy and delayed. It is still a fun game.

Guys, please do some research before buying this game. It's more of a casual game that's meant to catch pokemon, especially shiny types. You don't really battle other pokemon or trainers like sword and shield, but you do, do some battles. This game is not meant for everyone. But, if you enjoy catching pokemon and want to hunt for shiniest, give this game a shot.

My son loves Pokemon and this game did not disappoint. It was easy for him to play. He seems to enjoy it quite a bit.

My 7 years old loves this game. It is her first Pokemon game and she is able to navigate it with little to no help.

I had my doubts about this game, because going into it, I knew it wasn’t going to keep a lot of the same aspects of a typical Pokémon game. It will feel very different from what day-one Pokemon gamers are used to because of the catching and training mechanism, but it’s similar enough that you will still grow attached to your team, if you actually take the time to build it. That said, there are no caps/limits to your Pokemon’s stats, so you can get away with having oddball picks—I beat the game with a Farfetch’d! Kanto looks beautiful on the Switch’s graphics capabilities and this made me that much more excited for what’s to come for the next generation of Pokémon games. I am only giving it 4 stars because your Pokémon’s moves are very very limited in comparison to classic Pokémon games as of late and abilities don’t exist.

This is a nicely done, and graphically updated version of Pokemon Yellow. My 6 year old already has 2 gym badges and can't even read what is going on in the game... lol. I was afraid it would be too complex for her, but she's having fun, especially playing and interacting with Eevee. I personally rushed to get to the GO Park to be able to trade with the Pokemon Go app, and it didn't take too long, did it in a weekend. Now I'm going back to the beginning to take my time and hunt for shiny pokemon.

This game is really simple, fun, and designed for all ages! It’s a good remake from the original but with better graphics

My 7 year-old son and I bought this to play together. He has watched the show but never played the games. We are loving the easy transition and introduction to the Pokémon world. The only negative is that it is a really easy game so far.

My 10 year old is having a great time playing this game. Fun and easy to learn, but challenging enough to keep you engaged.

Fun game for the entire family. Easy to play and adorable Pokémon

I admit that this is my first experience playing a Pokemon video game, I did not play any of the Game Boy or DS games. As a casual Pokemon player I enjoyed playing this game. Its a relaxing experience and I would recommend this for any one who is looking for something that can be easily picked up. The game play loop is simple, you throw your Poke balls to catch Pokemon. Caught Pokemon are added to your team, your team also gains experience for leveling up each time Pokemon are caught.

A fun remake of classic Pokemon games! Just a lot of fun and they take out a lot of the annoyances of the classic games.

Fantastic, lighthearted, great controls. Has a good balance of nostalgia and new features.

Great graphics and and updated kanto region. Hate the new catching mechanics though and that you can really only battle trainers and not wild pokemon.

I’ve been playing this game for a few days now and I have to say I love it!! It’s brings back all the nostalgia of playing Red, Blue and Yellow as a kid while adding some fun mechanics from Pokemon Go. I had a little trouble figuring out the best way to catch with the joy con controller, but once you get the hang of it it’s not so bad.....also, you can skip this issue by simply playing on the little switch screen. Looking forward to discovering what else the game has to offer!!

Before I start the review I have a couple of points to make. One im a beginner in terms of pokemon adventure games. Two, this game was stated at the start to be for beginners and introduce new people to pokemon. That said, this game is fantastic, a dream come true for me. I have a bad neck so handhelds were out. So I always wish that a pokemon adventure game would come out on a console. Finally its here. So this game is a re-imagining of pokemon yellow. I love the fact that you start out with eevee which was one of my favorite pokemon. Two things that I dont like which made me deduct a star are 1) You cant battle wild pokemon, you can only try to capture it and hope for the best. 2) you have to use a joy con, cant use the pro controller. Cant wait to built my collection.

I love all the Pokemon games! I saw this for the switch - which I had just bought, and knew I HAD to have it! I have had all the nintendo ds games as they were originally released and I loved Pokemon go! This game is great too I just dont have much free time to play! I would like to add friends to play with online and since getting my online switch membership - hopefully Ill be able to look into that!
