I love this double pack! I am a big pokemon fan and have purchased every pokemon game for the switch. This is no exception. There is a slowdown and such because this game is not greatly optimized for the system. Keep that in mind. But issues aside even with the patch, the game is enjoyable. I don't regret my purchase.

The game is actually pretty good !! I personally think its better than sword and shield but it still has glaring problems. There reall is no benefit to getting this double pack unless youreally want the extra pokeballs that you can easily fet in game or you intend to get both versions.

ignoring how many glitches there are this is the most innovative a pokemon game has been since x&y. If you like open world rpgs and pokemon the game is a must buy. The double pack comes with 2 redeem codes for 100 pokeballs each which was dope so you can start the game ready to catch a bunch of critters.

Games got bugs, and is relatively easy if you know how to play. If you don't that's okay. It is really good for beginners and shiny hunters, but not that great for hardcore or OG players. Maybe a Nuzlocke? I don't know man.

It's had a lot of bugs when i played it on it's released date. Overtime nintendo probably fixed the bugs. Unlike the other pokemon games this one had several different story plots. The stories was ok, i think it has more potential to be better. Most of the new pokemon i didn't like but I'm an og pokemon fan. I got 200 pokeballs so that was great. Compared to the previous nintendo switch pokemon games this was a downer, especially after playing arceus. You can tell they was in a rush to make the money than putting work into the game. I would've rather the released date pushed forward a few more years so they could've put more effort into making the game.

Performance is lacking because of the switch itself but the gameplay is great! I stopped playing pokemon since gen 4 and this did a good job at making an open world version of the series i used to love. Tasks feel rewarding and the direction of the story is up to the player. Sweet game!

Despite what many say, this is an excellent entry and evolution in the Pokémon series. Yes, there's some framerate issues and pop-in but they're not nearly as bad as people make it out to be. This is just fun.

So Pokémon games arent primarily known for story in the main series, however these at least to me are up there with the mystery dungeon games (specifically explorers of sky and super mystery dungeon). Well worth a play through, terra raids are a nice twist as well.

Fun game with great graphics. The story line was interesting even though it was a little predictable. I enjoyed exploring the world. Even my video game challenged wife has a lot of fun playing.

Dont let performance issues derived from rushed development and huge ambition keep you from the most fun and reinvented the series has ever been. Everything that was previously locked behind needless scarcity and grinding is now attainable and achievable

What can I say? I'm a pokémon fan, haha. Very casual player over the years. I know that they're bugs and drama over the game, valid, but I just like it because it's pokémon. That is all, thank you for coming to my ted talk, lol.

Despite the numerous shall we say, “quirks” this game possesses, it’s the most fun I’ve had with a Pokémon title in years. It’s an open, sparsely populated sandbox like BOTW, but unlike the former, I found myself going out of my way to see how far I could take it. The new lineup of Pokémon is alright and there’s a story in there somewhere, but the focus mainly lies on exploration and largely doing whatever you want with little standing in the way. Certainly not 10/10 but it’s a good start in the right direction for the franchise.

This has one of the best stories of any Pokemon mainline game. The glitches are the only thing that stops me from giving this 5 stars but it didn't stop me from enjoying the game.
