This is a great game for small children. My son is 5 years old and loves playing it. It helps him to learn to read as a side bonus. I suggest getting it with the Pokeball controller. Keeps him engaged for a while. I like to join on the fun too every once in a while.

It's like playing the old game boy color games. The one thing missing is playing combat with the wild pokemon. Instead you just catch the wild pokemon. You DO get the experience catching them but its not the same. I hope in future installments that they restore that feature.

This game has Nostalgia paired with real improvements on the original. The new wild pokemon encounters streamline the most grind driven parts of the game and let you spend more time doing what you want to do whether it be Shiny hunting, leveling up, or trying to Catch all the pokemon

The latest Pokemon games were pretty good. They had decent story, very similar to Pokemon Yellow. However, the game ended very quickly, and there is little to do after becoming the champion. If you are willing to spend hours attempting to catch Pokemon without battling, this is the game for you. Also this game is relatively easy to complete the Pokedex, so I recommend you try if you've been frustrated that there are now 800+ Pokemon to catalog.

Played this game on the Yellow Pikachu gameboy color years ago. This has the same basic setup, but with pretty graphics along with Pokemon GO catch mechanics. Big problem with this game is that you cannot backup your saved data to the cloud, or a micro SD card. I paid for Nintendo’s online membership just to back up my data because my switch had a problem and needed to be returned. Guess what, your saved data cannot leave that switch. So if it breaks you have to service it through Nintendo if you want to keep your data. That assumes Nintendo wont wipe your data if they try to fix it. That is basically what you are getting. Is it worth the $65 they charging ... no. However, I got mine on sale for 45 plus tax which is still too high. This is really a 30$ game. However, it is fun to play, and you can play multiplayer on the same system. The switch Joy con set can be shared to play with an additional person. However, multiplayer is a bit of an afterthought, the second player has to follow where the main player goes no matter what. It will switch to the next screen even if you doing something. Well the core game is fun to play which is the most important part. I do not think it has online multiplayer either which is bad.

Pokémon has gotten too complicated over the years. The Let’s Go games simplify the Pokémon experience in such a way that’s inviting to newcomers, yet still fun for the seasoned Pokémon master. Bonus, if you play Pokémon Go, this game directly connects to that experience.

“It’s so fun I love this game it’s fun and more fun and I just don’t want to stop playing it.” That’s the words of the 6 year old that I purchased this game for, needless to say it’s a little above his level in some aspects but he loves it.

I bought this game as a early Christmas present for my son. He loves it and even got my wife and I to play it. It's not complicated at all and a great overall family game. I recommend purchasing the pokeball plus controller for the simple fact your child will get an unlocked Mew

Got this for my 7 year old niece for Christmas. Spent the entire day collecting Pokemon with her uncle who is also a Pokemon fanatic. Highly recommend.

It’s way easier than the original game unfortunately (gameboy) but the graphics and concept is great!.

Just like old times. Playing on my game boy jee wiz

Very fun and addicting. This might be a hit or miss on some players who might be hardcore pokemon fan, but for someone like myself who has not played a pokemon game since red/blue this has been a lot of fun and addicting to keep playing and farm for more pokemon.

M son enjoys playing this game. he is now an official Pokémon trainer.

A nice remaster of the original games, with functions of the Pokemon Go app for catching the pokemon rather than fighting them. Enjoy being able to see what I'm attacking before i fight it. Great game for both beginners and people who have been with the series for a while.

This is a good addition to the Pokemon franchise. It is my first time playing on a console and I have enjoyed it. I found it pretty easy, although the motion controls can make it a bit hard at times. If you swap to hand held catch mode you won't have to worry about that.

I love this game, it is fun and offers a good amount of gameplay. You can always train and catch more Pokémon to find the best one. The integration with Pokémon Go can help you grab pokemon not in your version of the game. They only thing I dislike is that in TV mode your have to use a single joycon of the pokeball plus that is extra. I would love to be able to use my pro controller but this game doesn't offer that.

Amazing graphics and gameplay for beginners. Love that you can see the Pokémon out in the while. Though you can’t level up by battling wild encounters you can battle trainers and gyms and it’s the same as it’s always been. I also like the coop mode. Def recommend to all.

It’s basically Pokémon yellow for the game boy color , refreshed for the new gen. Easier of course

It is the same game from before I was in middle school, if you like Pokémon, you will definitely be into it, it is slightly disappointing they didn’t go the full extra mile for what the switch is capable, but it is truly the first competent home console Pokémon RPG!

This game is beautiful, it's incredible to walk around have the Pokemon just be there. It's refreshing to not have to grind so much to get the Pokemon you really want! Don't fall into the trap of listening to people that are too negative about this game. Give it a try!
