Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the fun and easy gameplay, along with the product's strong overall performance and ease of use, often evoking a sense of nostalgia. Many appreciate it as a fun remake of the original. However, some customers find the game lacks sufficient difficulty, and motion controls can be finicky. There are also criticisms regarding the leveling up process and the new encounter and catching mechanics.

    Evee goes on sale for much cheeper than this version so if you only want one, I'd recommend Evee.

    It’s a good game for kids, only bad part about this game you can’t play with Nintendo Switch Pro controller.

    My kids love this game. It says it’s two players but the second player really just follows along. Not truly 2 player.

    Stroll down memory lane by revisiting this re-imagining of Gen 1 Pokemon with the (optional) pairing of Pokemon Go.

    It’s a good game. It’s mostly for a one player since the “second” player has to follow around the first player.

    My only complaint is that you cannot travel to another region after becoming a master trainer. But a very good balance of peokemon go mechanics and the classic yellow storyline

    Basically a remake of the original Pokémon game just watered down for the younger generation. Still very fun!

    This is Poke'mon Yellow with a few tweaks. A lot of it is Nostalgia, but it is also a lot of fun. There is enough new stuff to make up for the lack of wild Poke'mon battles.
