Awesome Pokémon game. Super engaging and fun to play.

I absolutely loved this game, it's been so great to play!

This is a good game very entertaining with lots of stuff to do. I beat the game in less than a week and have not put it down it’s great!

I haven't played a Pokemon game since Gold and Silver, and this one is amazing. I've heard if you don't have a switch 2 it's a bit buggy, but on the switch 2 it runs perfectly.

Pokemon lovers unite! This is a new open-world Pokemon and I couldnt find anymore fun to find! So interesting to see every Pokemon in the while and trying to find them! Im only so far but I know already I am going to enjoy this game!

It has a few bugs and like always it's graphical inferior to other games on the market. But it's still Pokémon.

Bought this to play on my switch 2 and them game doesnt disappoint

Honeslty perfomance asside the game is one of the most enjoyable pokemon games to come out on the switch . Good mechanics and the world feels lived in. Paldea and gen 9 feel alive and i really enjoyed battling the gym leaders!

The best pokemon game to date. I was hooked on day one for hours

The state that this game released in is not acceptable and downright insulting. I could understand if this was a fan game or a cheep copy of Pokémon but it ISNT. How could Nintendo even allow the product to ship off in this state is beyond me. however this game isn't freshly released anymore, it had 2 whole years t bake and......its passable. But that is such a low standard for, again, THE WORLDS BIGGEST GAMMING COMPANY. As it stands Unless you are a hardcore Pokémon fan dying to see Pokémon's take on a full open world, I wouldn't suggest it. In fact Id go as far as recommend lets go over this game, at least that game had SOME effort put into it. Im only being so harsh on this game bc it has standards to maintain, which unfortunately it didn't. I hope I can speak for everyone when I say we wouldn't mind waiting an extra year or 3 between games if at bare MINUMIM they are functional. As it stands, if you want the fresh open world gameplay scarlet/violet were ATTEMPTING to go for, just buy legends Arceus, quite literally everything (besides the graphic) are outstanding.

Its a great pokemon game the only thing im really not a fan of is the size of the pokemon in the game i wish it was like arceus where pokemon were their actual size a little thing i personally didnt like but overall its an amazing game i think you should play this if you want to get into modern pokemon .

Game freak has done it again! Overall a would-be great game, spoiled by outdated graphics, glitches, poor textures, and inexplicable game crashes. The art style of the game is great; true to what Pokémon has become known for. The game mechanics work as expected, and the game alone is a lot of fun. This game, however, is plagued by frame rate drops when too much is happening, or if you're too far away from a moving object it looks choppy. The grass gym test was a nightmare, as there is "too much" being processed at once. Hopefully they fix these issues with patches and updates; but Game freak isn't exactly known for actually caring about their fans.

It's been years since I last played a pokemon game, and was very glad this was the first such game I immersed myself in after so many years. It's a very fun version that is free world so you can do quests in whatever order you like or just wander around collecting pokemon (there are over 400 types I believe). The graphics are great, you can take classes at the academy in game, and there are many character customization options. My only issue is that there are very limited hairstyles (there are no long hair styles at all) and you can only choose from four uniform outfits (all academy uniforms). Other than that, great game!

The gameplay is pretty good. The graphics are not as good as Legends of Arceus and there are performance issues even on the OLED Switch.

This game really brings out the joy of having an adventure in a true open world experience with amazing music and characters. Not to mention new game mechanics that spices up the play style compared to previous games.

Great game, the story is great and it is Pokémon what can go wrong, the only down side is the FPS drops and the graphics are a little bad, but it is a amazing game and definitely recommend Pokémon

Its a new pokemon game. But with sone interestings twists. The open world is nice, and the team star / path of ancients story lines are surprisingly moving. However technical bugs really prevent this gen from shining

Despite the performance issues this game is plagued with, this is an excellent entry into the Pokémon franchise. It is up there among my favorites. The revolution in gameplay and flow makes the game feel refreshing and fun. That along with being able to go where you want, when you want, gives much more freedom to the players. Not a perfect game due to performance and bugs, but a great step in the Pokémon franchise and what I would like to see going forward from future games.

The best Pokémon game I’ve ever played. The story is great and intriguing, the combat is action packed and visually pleasing, and the world is so fun to explore every nook and cranny. I only wish GF had gone with the zones like they did with Arceus. Yes, it’s “cool” to have the entire game loaded up at once for you to run around in but it drastically takes away from the graphics and leaves the world looking blurry at range. Once I unlocked all of the fast travel points I mostly used them, which is a load screen anyways so having to load up difference zones in exchange for better visuals and performance would have been a welcome trade off. Still a must have for Pokémon lovers and a great jumping on point for newcomers.

This is my second time buying this game, I recently bought the Nintendo switch 2 and I am very pleasantly surprised with the upgrades the game made to look and feel smoother in the new switch
