Customer Ratings & Reviews

Great game and I'm glad to see the devs finally adding some modern gameplay features and concepts (just need to go all in on the next one!).. The game itself is still very much a traditional Pokemon game with an ever so slightly more engaging story at it's core. Had lots of fun playing through the campaign. Didn't stick around for raids or "end-game" content. Definitely DON'T like to see this franchise going the DLC route, but it is what it is and everyone is doing it.

I had heard bad and good things about this game, so I was a little iffy at first. But I gave it a shot and loved the game. It gave me a sense of nostalgia from when I used to play on gameboy and the nintendo ds. The only thing I personally did not like was a small part of how the story played out, but that’s not enough to give it a bad review. Sure they cut out a lot of mons from the pokedex, and there isn’t a national dex, but still a fun game nonetheless.

I haven’t played a Pokémon game since the GBA so it’s been a while and this one was a great way to get back into it. There didn’t seem to me any overly complicated mechanics and the shared xp helps alleviate some of the grind. Some of the Pokémon being visible In the old and the ease of avoiding wilds battles also streamlines the process when I am not hunting for new catches. I am very satisfied and the exclude pokemon I’m sword made it worth the double purchase of both for me.

A good addition to the Pokémon collection, I had a lot of fun with this game. I enjoyed it better than brilliant diamond

My son loves this game. He plays it regularly for long periods of time

Great game, first pokemon game I've played since gen IV, lots of new pokemon and great battle graphics

The game is fun. There is nothing wrong with it. I will play ther other game, Shield, as well.

Whether you are new to Pokemon or revamping an old love affair with the classic Game Boy games (or any of the more recent versions), this game is absolutely fantastic! The concept is generally the same--you start your Pokemon journey with a single partner Pokemon and battle your way through the 8 gym leaders across the region in order to face off against the reigning Champion to become the Champion yourself--but the game itself has evolved (no pun intended) to make it a much more enjoyable experience. The Pokemon appear on screen so you can pick and choose among those you want to catch and/or avoid, and also has a mystery component where you walk through certain areas (e.g., tall grass) and get surprised by different species of Pokemon. Tons of added features and A TON OF NEW POKEMON! There are a few select differences between Pokemon Sword and Pokemon Shield, which include but are not limited to 2 alternate gym leaders and a few different species of Pokemon only available in the respective game. Definitely worth the purchase! Even after you beat the game (i.e., become Champion), there are still plenty of places left to explore in order to find, catch and/or evolve all available species of Pokemon to fill up your pokedex (i.e., Pokemon encyclopedia of sorts) and finally become the ultimate POKEMON MASTER!

This game looks like its gonna be weird but once i gave it a chance i loved it!!

Havent played a Pokémon game in years and decided to pick this one up. I havent been disappointed.

The title pretty much sums it up. This game is an amazing piece of the franchise, I was sad about no national dex but it was all worth it.

I am a huge pokemon fan. I originally started to collect the cards when I was 6, then started watching the show. I got into the games when Sun and Moon came out. Of course, I obviously loved this game as I am a huge pokemon fan. It was great to see the Dynamax and Gigantamax pokemon because they are massive and look epic with all the red glowing stuff. The new pokemon are awesome (especially Appleton) and the gameplay was great.

Only Pokemon game I've enjoyed, I feel like Pokemon fans are just miserable

Awesome game, definitely recommend, especially Potter heads!!

Gave this as a gift for a little girls birthday. She loved it.

I enjoy playing the game and it has a good replay value. I feel it is just another Pokemon game but it is fun to play and has a decent storyline.

For years I’ve dreamed of a full 3d pokemon adventure. It’s finally here! And pokemon adventure we can finally play on the big screen thanks to the versatility of the Switch :)

This game is great. I grew up with Pokemon Blue/Red and my 6 year old enjoys it just as much as I do. Easily one of the best Pokemon games released as well as one of the best switch games. If you've played Let's go Pikachu / Let's go Eevee then you'll be familiar with the gameplay and graphics. This is a much more open world though. If you have a Nintendo Switch you're going to want this game. Also FYI Sirfetch'd is Sword exclusive.....

Daughter loves it. She couldn't put it down, and even after a few other games she's acquired she still always goes back to this.

Fun game and good graphics it has a lot of story and many open world locations .
