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.

I purchased this game as a return to the Pokemon systems after not having played since the GameBoy Color days. It's a good entry with some original aspects of gameplay. A great addition to the roster and fun on Switch.

Sword and Shield are a nice edition as the new generation of Pokemon games. I do miss not having the entire Pokedex, but its understandable with the growing number of Pokemon overall. I had to skip a couple of generations for a while so this has been very refreshing to get back into.

I highly recommend this game to anyone. You won’t be disappointed and I recommend buying from Best Buy. It’s everything I wanted in a new Pokémon game for a main console.

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.

As my first Pokemon game, this is an amazing first game to start off. A lot of people were mad at them reducing the size of the Pokedex, but this game was fun. It is a fairly easy Pokemon game, so it is good for a first game.

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.

Not the best pokemon game by any means. It is very short and has TONSSS of cutscenes. Some people might like that, I did not. If you are a pokemon fan though, I would reccommend.

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.

Awesome game! I’m not the biggest gamer in the world, but I do gravitate towards Pokémon. They’re so fun and useful for taking out stress (during battles of course)

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.

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.

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.

A great addition to the Pokémon franchise! But the after main story is lacking majorly.. not much to do after.. but was a good take on the series!

Good game i bought this ro play because getting the Playstation 5 was extremely hard to get and still is luckily i was ablento get one but before that the only way to stay occupied was by okaying the Nintendo switch with the Pokémon game that was interesting and a good way to kill time

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!

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

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.

Just like the game you remember as a kid only better
