Fantastic. This is probably the most fun I’ve had playing a pokemon game. I love the characters, story, plot, and of course the pokemon. Totally worth a play through. 10/10 I love it

Finally can play pokemon on the big screen. The wild area is fun to roam around and you get to see others there too. It makes the game feel more lively. I wish we could interact with each other more though.

Good pokemon game wish it was longer and not so easy but the more open world style is cool.

My 6 year old son loves Pokemon and owns Shield already. He loved this one too. Different pokemon than Sheild in the game. I wasn't convinced until I saw him play the game.

There has been a lot of controversy surrounding this game...but I didn't let it keep me from enjoying it! Great new Pokes and the Wild Area keep you coming back plus its easier than ever to train them.

As someone who has played many pokemon games this one has the makings of one, it does hold your hand more then it should, granted it is meant for children but game freak should know that alot of their players are adults now, so i wish they coudlve had an option to skip the doulage faster cause there are moments where it ask you to go somewhere and part of teh joy is finding the placve after searching but the map bassicly tells you exactly where to go and theres alwasy someone waiting for you, but the asepct of cachting pokemon and having battles is still there, althouth id opt for mega evolves over dynamax

East and fun, simply a classic game. All ages can play this, and it seems actually possible to fill out your Pokédex with the easily accessible wild area.

The only reason this isn’t a perfect is because of all the Dexit controversy...but if you put that aside the game is amazing. So much to do, it looks great, and the game made a lot of tedious things convenient. I hope there’s updates along the way but if you take it for what it is, it might be the best Pokémon game so far.

I stopped playing up to diamond and pearl version, then returned back to moon and sun. Though was not found of pokemon pikachu/eevee go. The mechanics were not traditional and pretty bland.
So after hearing about Sword and Shield and it's future developments I decided to give it a go, honestly I was not expecting much but was not considering in getting it until I heard about the online installment. The max raids are fun and the pokemon mechanics are traditional, breeding is easier, whether you are breeding for shines, competitive, or to have then all.
The story is amazing and interesting, not going to spill it.
A great game to have in your library digital or hard copy.

So far this game is great! The story line goes by so quick but also I haven’t been able to put it down. Definitely gives me Zelda vibes with how everything looks

You get a great game with a great adventure but it feels incomplete. DLC has been added but at a price.

I haven't played a main line Pokemon game in years, but Sword has been such a great place to jump back in. The graphical flourishes that they can do with the power of the Switch are beautiful, and the story is more evolved and in depth than I've come across in the main line games I have played.

I've played all the Pokemon games from the beginning until now and I don't care about the national dex or the cutting of Pokemon from the game because I love playing Pokemon games and this is a very fun Pokemon game and can be at times very challenging especially when it comes to catching the Pokemon . I've already put over 20 hours in to this game to complete the gym challenges and only catched a little over 100 Pokemon and I'm not going to cry about it like other people that it wasn't the exact game I told gamefreak to make and this game is definitely a great start for gamefreak to improve on with graphics and adding more Pokemon to future games.

I really like how it has more of an open world feeling, and although the graphics are limited on the switch, I still think it looks beautiful and is the best Pokemon game so far.

I haven't played much Pokémon, but the kids have been having fun playing. Decent graphics and pretty good music. Doesn't seem too difficult but they are still early in the game.
