Customer Ratings & Reviews

My son has been playing Pokemon games for years. He was so excited when Pokemon Sword came out on the Switch. So far, he has put more hours into this game than his recent faves, Let's Go Pikachu and Fire Emblem Three Houses.

Gameplay is fun. Not that long though, takes about 6 hours to beat the game. Would recommend getting the Nintendo online subscription with this so you can trade/fight Gigantimax Pokemon with them. There are a lot of glitches in the game as of now to help you progress faster than normal. Would start earlier than later incase the glitches are going to be patched.

They are Pokemon fans, so they pretty much have every game. They LOVE this one. Got it for Xmas and each finished the game just a couple days after. They specifically liked the character customization and other new dynamics.

I’m not this game’s audience but I still had fun with my nephew playing this game. The graphics and gameplay blow away any Pokémon games I’ve played with him before. We didn’t pick up Shield yet, but I think We’ll have to know.

One of the newest features in Pokémon Sword and Shield is the introduction of the Wild Area. Each area has its own weather condition, and certain Pokémon only appear in such areas depending on the weather.

My boys wanted this as soon as the preorder started. The order was delivered on the exact day it was released. Great job Best Buy. My boys have been playing a lot and so far they only have great things to say about this game.

Awesome and fun game! Game shipped quickly from Best Buy and I had no issues. Great addition to the Pokemon game lineup and now there is a dlc for it. Looking forward to putting many hours into this game.

Was better then I anticipated. I haven’t played a Pokémon game since I was a little kid and playing them on the game boy colors and the see the difference of it is spectacular and soooo addicting!

This is a good Pokemon game after a lackluster Generation 7. That being said, many people complain because of the graphics and lack thereof a national pokedex. The biggest downfalls in my opinion are that it's one of the weakest stories of all the Pokemon games, and a lot of the areas in the game just feel empty. It's a big world with nothing to do.

This game is a lot of fun so far! It had classic elements of the Pokémon games we know and love but some new items as well. Great graphics on the switch lite. Very happy with this purchase, a must for any Pokémon lover!

Lots of open world to explore, great batter sequences, tons of fun!

Straight off the bat.. yes there's over 400 Pokemon missing from this game which is a huge blow to fans. With that being said, this game is still trying to bring some fun into those frustrated fans. I myself find the wild area to be the most distracting part of the game which is a lot of fun. But the sense of missing Pokemon is still a conscious on my mind.

This is not machine for amateurs it is meant for those professional gamers to love to play Non-Stop and who have a collection of hundreds Pokemon games this machine works fast and efficiently Deliverance the best graphics

Bought this for my son along with a new Switch. Overall an enjoyable game if you are a Pokémon fan. There are new Pokémon and they brought back the gyms. Graphics are way better than the games we used to play on the DS.

Just like the game you remember as a kid only better

I know Pokemon: Sword and Shield had a lot of controversy leading up to the game's release, but I actually enjoyed the game and had a wonderful experience catching the new pokemon and exploring the wild area. Great game!

Fun to play, Graphics is good and easy to navigate for playing

The game offers the usual excitement and pursuit of collecting that we all love. The updates make for a much faster paced game, which was long overdue. It will appeal to old and new players. You won’t regret your purchase.

A solid Pokémon game even with the controversy. I am not extremely into the competitive scene but can recommend this game as a fun experience that evolves the Pokémon series slowly toward a more open world. It may become obsolete when Scarlet and Violet release in 2022.

Great game, I should have gotten the 2 pack and played with others. I enjoy Pokemon and this is no exception. The index has lots of space for all the Pokemon you will acquire. It's a great game and amazing on the Switch.
