Heavily plays on nostalgia but in a good way. It’s a great pokémon game.

I was feeling really down one day. So I took a nap. During my nap, I had a dream that I was Pikachu. When I awoke, my heart told me to go buy the Pokemon game. So I hopped on my scooter and went to Best Buy and bought the best game ever. It was my life savor. I am no longer feeling down.

Bought this for my 4 year old she loves to play pokemon go with me but she uses all my pokeballs on one pokemon. We have really enjoyed playing this together. She gets so excited everytime there's a pokemon to catch and it usually only takes her 1 to 2 tries to catch. And now momma gets to keep her pokeballs!

This game is great for the Nintendo Switch. Right out of the box you can start to play and capture all the Pokemon you ever wanted. This supports two players at a time if needed in couch coop. That's a rare thing in this day and age. The whole family will love it. Highly recommended for experienced Pokemon trainers and even newcomers. You have to catch them all.

If you enjoy the first generation pokemon games and/or Pokemon Go, you will likely find enjoyment in these games, but if you are a fan of the more complex mechanisms and newer pokemon of more recent titles, you might find it to be a little bit lacking. This is a good Pokemon game for first timers as well, because it teaches the basics without getting convoluted.

I love this game. The graphics are great. The price was fair as well!

Charming graphics and music, packed with nostalgia. However, the battle system has been oversimplified with the removal of mechanics like Abilities. The inability to use a Pro Controller is also a major hassle.

For those who enjoyed Pokemon in the 90s and are looking for a simple nostalgia trip, this is a blast! For someone looking for the depth and nuance of a full fledged Pokemon title, you're going to walk away disappointed. A lot of the staples of Pokemon games (like battling wild Pokemon) have been replaced by simplified elements from Pokemon Go. It's a little disappointing, but it may be a decent way to introduce the next generation to Pokemon. I've enjoyed playing it myself, but I could see how die-hards could be upset by this iteration.

It’s a great game to buy for your kid and be able to help them out for it. Very nostalgic if you used to play the original red and blue.

Remake of yellow a lot of fun, don't believe the negative people.

Great graphics. Easy to use. Great for video game loverS

Amazing just amazing, brought back so many memories of playing the OG games just amazing, Nintendo needs to let the original games on the switch.

Such a great game , great story and great gameplay features

My two boys are elementary aged and they have Pokémon cards. This was a natural progression for them to play this game on screen. I don’t know much about Pokémon world but it seems cute and age appropriate. It keeps them engaged for the few hours a week they get to play as a treat.

I was first a little skeptical about the game since i never played pokemon go. I decided to get this game and try it out. I have not regretted it once. I love that you see what pokemon are in the wild and they are to scale with your character. I love that all your pokemon get shared exp. The game is a little short to be truthful. its very easy to obtain almost all pokemon in a single play through. Ive been playing pokemon for awhile now and this is the first game i actually completed the pokedex 100%. I recommend this for pokemon players of all ages..

Great graphics good story line, interesting mini games

Bought this for my 2 kids (7&4). Great that it has a "partner" that can join and battle with the main character. So my 4yo could participate without feeling left out. Very basic RPG for the 7yo, with reading comprehension. They were disappointed in the lack of newer Pokemon, but still enough of them they know of.

To me, the best remaster for the best Pokémon game of all time. I hated grinding Pokémon as a kid and hate it now. I absolutely love the way you catch them in this game and love being able to see them in the overworld. It doesn't feel like a chore to play this, it feels fun. And that's what I want out of a Pokémon game. Highly recommend!

The game is basically the original series but with the added option of playing with a second player and being able to throw pokeballs with your remote. I have always been a pokemon fan since the 90's so it was very nostalgic to play. I havent had time to finish the game because of college but will definitely get back to it soon.

If you liked playing Pokémon as a kid, you will love this. Now your kids can play the newer version of the Pokémon you used to play as a kid and you can even assist them as a supporting character. My son loves playing this and I help him battle and catch Pokémon. Definitely a great game.
