The game is pretty fun once you get over the catching mechanic and the lack of battling wild pokemon. A pretty good buy for your children or if your nostalgia makes you want to relive your fav childhood pokemon game in better graphics.

So incredibly good. It’s like they took the original game boy game, deleted all the annoying stuff and added in even better stuff! Highly recommend. Playing with my 7-yr old has been very rewarding.

If you've ever wanted to know what a beefed-up version of Pokemon Yellow for the Gameboy would've looked like, this is the title to buy. It's also a fantastic game to play with families and friends that recognize this iconic game franchise.

I purchased the Pokemon game for my son's Switch and he absolutely loves it.. He started getting into Pokemon about 6 months ago but I couldn't help him much since I knew zero about how to play.. This game has helped him tremendously!!

This might be the best Pokémon game for the switch console Nintendo got it right and it’s great timepass for any Pokémon fans It’s value for money if you get this on sale

I went into this game pretty skeptical after learning it had been dumbed down a bit compared to old Pokemon games and will be incorporating elements from Pokemon go. I decided to give it a chance anyway and I've enjoyed every minute of it. It is easier than previous games but you still do need to know about the different types of pokemon and what's weak or strong for the opponent you're battling. Being able to see the pokemon while walking around makes the game feel less grindy since you knew exactly when you were about to get into catching a wild pokemon. My one complaint is regarding the controls. I've mostly played the game in handheld mode, but playing it docked only works with a single joycon or the Pokeball Plus so if you were hoping to just play it with the pro controller. Hoping an update fixes this

Haven’t played a Pokémon game in years but this one captured the fun of the original and made some greaT QoL adjustments.

I’ve been a fan of Pokémon since I was little, so playing this game is like returning to the days of gameboy color. It’s more detailed and closer to the original anime, too. Definitely recommend.

This reminds me of the early days with Pokemon Red and Blue on Gameboy Color. Very similar to the original with modern features that came from Pokemon Go involved. Being able to see your pokemon pull off attacks in a better graphical way then the gamebody gave you, and also the interaction with them on a personal bonded trainer level makes this game very amazing. its nice to be able to relive this on the big screen. Overall i have been addicted to playing it since i got it! You can even send pokemon over from GO to this game! Although careful what you send because it tends to be random and will nerf their strength! But overall very pleased, very fun game, and will be even better when i need to take my switch with me on the road to keep myself entertained at times!

At first, I wasn't going to get let's go due to the focus on it being even more kid friendly than most pokemon games. However, the nostalgia and slight differences were enough to make this a charming game for me. Having pokemon appear in the overworld is a godsend, though I could do without the new capture mechanics. Recommended if you have a lot of nostalgia for the originals.

I be been waiting for this to come out since the release of Pokémon Yellow! An already amazing game with amazing graphics! The only complaint I have is you can’t use a regular controller with this game. Other then that it’s a must buy!

While it is a rehash of the original Pokemon Kanto region, it offers some new mechanics to keep the game interesting. I have used this game to bring some of my favorites into Sword and Shield via Home.

This game on switch is amazing. Its just like the old days playing pokemon gold except with extra features and amazing graphics and effects. Only con is i wish you could battle pokemon in order to catch them seems too easy to just throw the ball like pokemon go. Im excited to play sword and shield since they have addressed almost everything i feel this game was missing.

I was hesitant to get this game at first due to the catching mechanism being similar to the Pokemon Go mobile app, but the game is fantastic. If you're a fan of the classic Pokemon games than you will not be let down by this purchase.

I have been playing every generation of Pokemon since Yellow. This is absolutely the truest incarnation of Pokemon in recent years. Pokemon games have slowly turned into a dull grind. But this game breathes fresh air into the series.

A blast from the past that still holds up. Didn’t think I’d get back into Pokémon as much as I did jumping into this. Spent 60+ hours catching and training and enjoyed all of it. Great modern day improvements to the formula as well.

Very addictive and nostalgic games with a new view HD and the new mechanics. I am not a super fan of pokemon series but this game is very addictive and you just want to catch them all since you can see them walking on the grass now.

It's not the same as current pokemon games, but it brings back fond memories of the original. Just know that it's different in that you don't battle pokemon to catch them. Instead, it's more like pokemon go.

Fun game but didn't realize you don't battle to catch pokemon. It's using the Pokemon Go functionality. I think that takes some of the fun out of it but you do get to battle when going against other trainers. It was still worth the pickup and enjoyed the nostalgia with a fresh coat of pain and features

From parent to child, everybody in our family has enjoyed this game! We each play on our own account, so we can each move through the game at our own pace. We also like that there is purpose in what you do throughout the game.
