    A good modern take for a pokemon game. Lore heavy towards the end. The frame drops can be pretty rough. Kind of feels like they are on the right track.

    Man, I play a lot of small studio games, and these has more problems than an alpha build.

    Meh I return the game. It’s like the processing power of the Nintendo switch cannot keep up with the gameplay ability. Or vice versa. Just doesn’t seem like this game was actually made specifically for the Nintendo switch and it’s hardware.

    This game has it's flaws, and you've seen the negativity around the games' graphics, but don't blame the game for the machine it's forced to run on. This game continues the legacy of game-play over everything else in the Pokemon series.

    It's so glitchy. It feels like I'm paying to beta test this game for Game Freak. It's hard to enjoy it like past Pokemon games. I'd wait until they release a major update to get it.

    Not the type of Pokemon game I like. Open world is too large with too many cliffs and rivers to negotiate. Some areas are too hard to get to. New Pokemon aren't appealing, not even the starter I chose. But I keep playing.

    While any Pokemon can suck you 'cause you gotta catch 'em all, this game was some what disappointing. The graphics and glitches leave a lot to be desired.

    This game was not what i was looking for. This game launched with a ton of glitches and frame rate issues. Not what I expected from a Pokémon game.

    A different spin on a classic game, but it's an update for the new generation that bridges the gap with the old generation. Need it change overall. Any pokémon fan would love this game

    There is so much to do in the game which is great for long play times. The map is huge and there are plenty of Pokémons around and battles to have. Great game to pick up.

    Bought this game for the kids so they could cathc pokemon. Entertainment for hours for them. Fun to watch and listen to the kids talk about who caught the best pokemon.

    Poorly Optimized and Rather Dull, but Open World.

    Easy pickup from BestBuy on release day so great job from them. Game was about average I'd say. Horribly optimized, mediocre story, the new Pokemon were hit or miss. A few missing features from the game like setting battle swap mode to set. It felt slow and sluggish throughout the game. Also pop-in is real. I was hoping for better from Gamefreak as I was lenient with Sword & Shield, but this game didn't improve much. I will not be purchasing day 1 next time despite all my friends doing so.

    Pokémon has been my favorite franchise for some time. It’s met the only expectation I have for a video game. Can the images be manipulated with the click of a button?
