Customer Ratings & Reviews

This Pokemon entry feels different enough to warrant it's purchase while still feeling traditional to it's franchise. After the Let's Go entries this game has taken a much needed step in the right direction as it takes some ideas from the last entry and makes she much needed changes and expands the traditional concepts of what makes a Pokemon game!

This game had positive and negative reviews, I'm on the positive side. This is a big change in the Pokemon RPG games with switching platforms. This was a great chance that The Pokemon Company and Game Freak took. If you're a pokemon fan or not, definitely a game to buy and try out. Don't go by everyone else's opinions with the negative reviews. Good changes were made!

A great game to help pass time. Best part of the game is the open area.

Bought as a gift for someone. They love Pokémon and games.

Prior to this game, I had only ever played the original Pokémon Red/Blue on but felt the urge to get back into Pokémon after seeing all the great review for this game. I can say that those great reviews were 100% accurate. This game feels both new and familiar at the same time and really makes me nostalgia for the good ole days of playing Pokémon on my Game Boy.

I didn't even finish sun and moon because it just wasnt fun or appealing. This one completely changes that. So many great updates and changes make this easily the best pokemon game in a while. For anyone complaining about not having every pokemon in the game, trust me. There are plenty of pokemon to catch and they come so quickly you dont even realize who isn't there.

This is finally the game that I have been waiting for. Let's Go was not very good for me because you could not battle wild Pokemon to level your pokemon up. I do not like the Pokemon Go style of catching pokemon. This version takes it back to the Yellow version play style but with new twists. The wild area is pretty big and great for the Raids (they are tons of fun).

It's somewhat different from a traditional pokemon game but there's also a lot of new things that you can do. In the beginning I heard some controversial things about this new series but despite that, I gave it a try anyways and my friends and I who also have the game would agree that this series is definitely worth a try and if not soon to be your favorite game.

Detail of the game is great. Keeps an 8 year old interested and not just because its a video game. Keeps you thinking too!

I love this game! The graphics are amazing and the pokemon are so cute.

Just like old school games but better, prettier, and more open world.

Absolutely LOVE this game and the graphics are next level compared to any previous Pokémon Game aside from Pokken Tournament this game is an absolute joy to play and get to catch all types of mons. I'm LOVING the new DLC's also they make the game so much more fun being able to catch a ton of new Pokémon.

Great game very fun to play alone or with friends !

Great game. Great price for the game. Hours of fun play. I recommend.

Pokemon Sword and Shield build on the Pokemon formula, but are steps back in terms of Pokemon Games. While the Wild Area is fun an exciting, the biomes feel lacking in diversity. Most encounters should be overworld encounters. Compared to the Let's GO series that predated them, the immersion is lacking. Pokemon no longer follow you and riding on them is completely gone as well. Battles are fun and the characters are enjoyable, but it lacks some wonder and whimsy and is a bit of a step back for the franchise.

great pokemon game can't believe I'm playing it on switch so much fun

My son got Let’s Go Pikachu & Eevee last year & was excited for the new games coming out this year. They are a nice change from some of the more violent & intense games on the market now. User friendly, mildly challenging & overall more relaxing of a game to play. One we can play with him on the Nintendo Switch, which gets us spending some play time together!

Though lacking in some aspects compared to previous main line pokemon games; sword and shield still provides an awesome experience for new and old fans alike. It's the best looking pokemon game ever, but it does have frame rate issues in dock or in handheld mode. Less skill moves and pokemon is disappointing, but there's still plenty to love in sword and shield. The story is as enjoyable as previous games and the gameplay is not super challenging (so easy for veterans of the series). Online aren't prefect and does have connection and laggy issues at times.

A fun and immersive game that brings me back to the old Game-boy Pokemon games, but with a new, 3D upgrade! The only criticism that I have of this game is the sheer amount of ime I've spent trying to fill my pokedex- something I've never done before- simply because the art style and the play of the game is so attractive. Simply amazing!

Haven't played a new Pokemon game in years, and they have really made some great improvements! I also love that I get to pass down this enjoyment to the next generation! I'm also impressed by the service of Best Buy here; the game was a great price and delivered within 12 hours with free shipping!
