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.

    This game brings the franchise beyond its handheld predecessors with great style and a bigger world to explore, as well as creative "quality of life" improvements that really respect your time.

    The game really did a good job making the Pokemon come to life. Character customization has never been so creative. Made the game more convenient for players thru new mechanics within the game.

    I love Pokémon and I am over the moon that this is more along the lines of the original Pokémon. I’m not a huge fan of the Pokémon go but this is spectacular!

    Beep beep Pokemon go big. Risk it for the biscuit. Fine game to spend a pandemic with. Plenty of updates to keep it fresh.

    This has been quite a bit of fun on my switch. I like the faster travel and other quality of life improvements they’ve added. Things feel less tedious and let you get to the fun stuff faster.

    This is my first Pokemon game since Diamond and Pearl back on the DS, I am so happy to play the series again and especially with a semi-open world aspect to it.

    Likes to catch cool Pokémon - battle trainers. Took awhile before he got comfortable with it and I certainly can't walk him through it. Gets to battle any type Pokemon' he wants.

    Just bought a switch and this game has been fun to play. Good game to add to the collection or just starting out. It’s also 2 player so you can play with others online.

    Great game, fun new additions to the Pokemon universe. My only issue with it is the fact that DOC is a thing now.

    The smaller pokedex is a major drawback but the game itself is very solid. Teaming up with others to fight anpokemon is fun new feature. It's awesome being able to play pokemon on the TV!

    Such a fun game to play and a great way to introduce a new generation of Pokemon on a non-handheld console. I had my doubts about the new Pokemon but they proved me wrong. So much fun.

    Having now played it for awhile, I can honestly say I’m hooked. The free roam feature was much needed in the Pokémon world. I can say this is by far the best Pokémon game I’ve played.

    Got on sale for $40. Do note in the future there will be a variant that includes the DLC on the cartridge if you want it all together without having to download it.

    A very fun Pokémon to play through and a lot of things to do in the endgame. The story is very interesting to play through with a fun endgame raid mechanic to play with friends after.

    I’m having a blast with Shield. The graphics are true to Pokemon, and are nothing mind blowing. I do feel like it will take Game Freak some time to get up to speed on better hardware.
