    Despite all of the negativity the games have recieved in the past few weeks. It doesnt perform as awful as people seem to over exagerate. Catching pokemon with friends in real time is very fun. A step in the right direction, but more time was needed.

    I was skeptic about getting this game because i do love the series and hearing the reviews. So why not try it myself and boom, getting pass all the bugs like in Cyberpunk 2077, it was enjoyable & funny.

    Amazing game! Would highly recommend this for anyone who’s a fan of Pokémon. While it has some bugs that could use an update to iron out its not unplayable. It’s very playable and worth every penny!

    The game is a little glitchy i will say that. However the ability to go where you want when you want is great. I love the multiplayer aspect. My wife and I get to play together and help each other out

    I am sure if you are wavering on getting the latest pokemon title, you are potentially swayed by the bad reviews you are seeing out there. Are there technological problems due to 2 gen old hardware? Of course, but it will only get better with patches. What you are getting is the latest, biggest, and maybe even best gen of pokemon yet. Gone are the days of linear A>B>C>D gameplay. Want to take on the water gym first? Go right ahead. Sure there is a level cap, but you can do anything in any order you want. Remember the wide open parts of Sword and Shield? The entire game is like that now. Nintendo and GameFreaks most ambitious title yet will only get better and is pretty good for launch!

    Can't go wrong with Pokemon! I understand everyone not being too thrilled with all the "technical difficulties" But through out the game, I experienced maybe one and it was such a minute thing i honestly forgot what it was. Don't let other people influence your want to play a game

    The game may have its bugs but this is the most fun I've had with a pokemon game in a while. It's got a lot of quality of life changes from the last set of games and the story was really good.
