Customer Ratings & Reviews

This game is great. Awesome game on the console! Get it now!

It's just what a seasoned pokemon fan would expect nothing more nothing less. A lot of people complained in the lead up to release, but it still delivered as the first implementation of the series on the switch.

Bought as early Christmas present for my daughter who is a Pokémon lover. Also a great experience with music and gameplay upgrades. We like the new Pokémon and the graphics are upgraded a great family entertainment game.

To be open the last Pokémon generation I played was the original gen 3, so the graphic updates came as a welcome sight. The game was fast as well as short, but the rework of how the gym system works almost made up for it.

My son is 12 and a big Pokemon fan. He loves playing Pokemon GO on his phone and as soon as he got this game it was all he would play. He is saving his money to get the expansion pack

While alot of moves were cut as well as pokemon, there is still plenty to enjoy with Gamefreak's first console release. Its has the right amount of balance between fights and doesnt feel as bloated as some previous titles.

It’s a good game. Could be better, but still very enjoyable

A truly enjoyable game to the fans new and old wanting to immerse themselves into the world of Pokemon. With the new way of encountering pokemon it gives you the true feel of going on a journey in a world of wild pokemon.

I liked the game. Fun and short story. It seems that Nintendo is testing new graphics and game play with Sword and Shield. If you enjoyed prior pokemon games, you will enjoy this one too.

Excellent installment on the latest Pokemon title. If you want the full Pokemon experience, get this instead of the Pokemon Lets Go spin off titles. Those aren’t part of the mainline series.

The detail and uniqueness to this game is amazing, I've thoroughly enjoyed this addition to the Pokemon series. I've been a loyal fan of the games since the original generation one games and this one did not disappoint!

Really like the game hard to play but I will keep playing

My 10 year old son saved his money up and purchased this game. He has been playing it as much as we will let him since he got it. He's already saving up for Pokemon Sword because he loves playing this one so much.

I'm just a little bit past the first gym, but - unlike "Pokemon Go Eevee/Pikachu" this is a REAL Pokemon game, and it's so much fun to play it on the big screen! And still be able to take it with me on the small screen!!

Graphics are good, the overall game is pretty entertaining.

While I won't say this is the best Pokemon game to ever come out, I will say that I love playing this on my Switch. The game doesn't really change up the formula or reinvent itself in astounding new ways but, that is part of the charm of it all at the same time. If you've loved past entries you'll definitely enjoy giving this one a go

My son is 10 years old and has always loved pokemon.... this is by far his favorite one, he can barely put it down! As a fan myself I highly recommend this one!

Our daughter received Pokemon Shield for Christmas 2019. She absolutely loved the game she beat it in about 3 weeks she loved it so much. I highly recommend this game for anyone who loves Pokemon like she does.

Love the updated graphics, gameplay was fun and enjoyable.

This is my first Pokémon game ever and I love it. It’s simple but intriguing and keeps me wanting more. Such a fun game and easy to pick up if you’re a newbie. Highly recommend for anyone.
