    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?

    The first Pokemon game to ever make me question whether I’ll get the next one. Horribly optimized and obviously rushed. The last couple hours are good

    The game runs pretty poorly but was fun. Anyone who likes the series would probably like this performance aside.

    I loved how it took into consideration aspects from previous games such as the raids, having your pokeman battle for you, outbreaks, all of it.

    The Fps drop was nuts, with the update most of it has been controlled. It still happens here & there but the game was pretty good.

    Game content is pretty rich. There is always something to do post story quest completion and the late game content is challenging. However, the game's performance is terrible when it comes to graphics. There are a lot of areas where the game graphics lag and performance is slowed down. Some of the menu UI is terrible and feels clunky.
