Customers are saying

Customers are impressed with Pokémon's engaging gameplay, captivating story, and expansive Wild Area. Many praise the game's ease of use and accessibility, while also enjoying the open-world exploration and additional downloadable content. Some players, however, found the game's challenge level to be too simple and expressed concerns about the number of Pokémon available and the overall amount of content. Despite these criticisms, the positive feedback on various aspects of the game is significant.

    He is 6 and learning to read....you better be prepared to read a lot of conversation between characters. Most other games are intuitive, but this requires a lot of intervention to explain what needs to happen next.

    It's Pokemon. Another entry of Pokemon. Don't expect a lot of new content or a re imagining of the franchise. It does have some good quality of life changes that make it more enjoyable/less grindy.

    It's just more of the same from Gamefreak, granted the game is running on a handheld engine when it shouldn't be, it looks fine and works fine, but could've been so much more.

    High Hopes Fall Flat

    The transition from the 3DS to current gen handheld with the high poly count is just not the vibe. I will never get over the N64 trees, hamfisted "wild areas", and downright lazy implemention of pokemon animation (including the moves in battle). It's just not at all what I envisioned. Was it so wrong to hope for Pokemon Stadium meets flagship Pokemon game with graphics on par with smash at the very least?

    Just Another Pokémon Game

    It’s just another Pokémon game. That’s it. If you or your kid loves Pokémon, then get it. If you’re on the fence about Pokémon then avoid it.

    If you are into pokemon you are getting more of the same thing for the most part. Not saying the game isnt a good time it's just more of the same on a new console.

    Sword and Shield are actually fairly enjoyable, but they feel like something is missing. What's missing is probably half the pokedex, and the routes feeling barren.

    Broken Promises sadly on stuff they said they were going to do in the game and never did and not all the pokemon in the game is a massive disappointment for the hardcore

    It was an alright experience. Being older, I’m blinded by nostalgia of the older generations. Nintendo needs to revert a bit to some classic styles.

    Although this game is pretty fun and exciting, finishing the story only takes 1 to 2 days and I wish it could have been a longer story.

    It's not good and its not bad but at least it's a new gen pokemon on a console. I should have retired many years ago but I keep coming back since Pokémon Blue

    If you must try the new Pokémon game you’ll have no choice but not nearly as great or as memorable as before. Too easy, not all Pokémon available.

    Missing Key Features from the other games

    Missing the national dex and taking out a lot of other features really made this game useless after you beat the game. Otherwise it’s a decent Pokémon game.
