I love this dumb game so much. Yes it’s buggy. Yes it’s unfinished in A LOT of areas. But it is by far the best Pokémon game since White/Black.

This game is fun. I had never had so much fun with a pokemon game. When it works, it works.
The story is semi open world. You can go anywhere but things don't scale. I did everything except the gym challenge.
You have 3 storylines that lead to one big finale.
When it's bad, it's bad. Frame drops heavily, glitches everywhere. There are disappointed battles and animations.
They took chances and that is great but they need to learn to stay consistent.

As always the Pokemon bundle pack delivers. It's a good way to easily get both games and some goodies. SV have a unique, fresh approach the series and take some inspiration from the amazing Legends: Arceus spin off game. My main complaint with SV is the graphics and network issues. The game looks worse than Sword and Shield in a lot of areas and the Terra Dens can be harder to connect to than the Raid Dens

One of the most fun main line Pokémon games I have played in a long time. Besides all the glitches and bugs the story is great, game play is fun, and the open world is a great step in the right direction for Pokémon as a series.
The double pack is great because you get the extra Pokéballs to make the start of the game easier.

I had an absolute blast playing these games. I do wish Game Freak spent a little more time and love on it before releasing with all the bugs, but the style of play is exactly the direction Pokémon needs to be going on. If only they'd head in that same direction graphics and function wise...

This has probably the best story and characters of a pokemon game in recent memory. It's also the most fun I've had in a pokemon game that I can remember. But it's horrendously broken, with frame drops being the norm and many many bugs with varying levels of severity from a visual bug to full crash or inability to move

The 3 story lines are great with an almost open world feel and traditional pokemon gameplay with new and improved mini games and quest. It is now easier than ever to farm and trade with the online features. I love the terra raids which provide a challenge for end game. Only real issue is performance and bugs. The game at time feels under developed at times

Game is good, but just a lot of stuttering and low fps at times. Pretty fun but the hardware of Nintendo switch is reaching its peak maximum performance.
However, purchase experience from Best Buy sucks horribly. There are no free gifts on pre-orders, and they deliver the product to me late after the launch day. Extremely disappointing.

Very fun games. The farming to levels your pokemon gets a little tedious but other than that it is as fun as any pokemon game.

This is probably the best Pokémon game they have ever made, it is graphically not the best, some sections look good some are rough around the edges. It could use more time to get polished and programmed. Aside from that it is an excellent game and probably the most fun I had in a pokemon game sense the initial release when I was a child being mesmerized by this franchise. They changed so much about th usual fromula but in a good way and they keep a lot of the same elements that you know and love but just make it better. I believe they will patch and optimize the game with update like they did with sword and shield when the dlc comes out in a few months.if you love or enjoy Pokémon games you will love this and if your a new to the franchise it’s easy enough to jump right in and have a blast, tons of content and hours upon hours of fun!
