    The game is a buggy mess on release which sucks because the gameplay itself is awesome. If you don’t mind slowdown and clipping through walls this game is a fun one.

    Wonderful story, great gameplay. Full of bugs and glitches but that makes the game more enjoyable because of how funny it is. Overall its been a great purchase for myswlf and my oldest kid.

    These games bring me back the Pokemon excitement I was missing with the latest releases. It is a new adventure filled with enough new adventures and paths to make it exciting. Recommended!

    Both games are fantastic to play but there are glitches and some visual issues that need to be fixed. The games are worth playing even in current state.

    A delightful mix of the traditional gym challenge oriented games, with interesting new features and the gameplay style of modern Pokémon games like Legends Arceus. 9.5/10

    Despite bugs in the early release, this is one of the best entries in the Pokemon series. A vast open world, 400 Pokemon, and 3 main quests. I had a lot of fun playing both
