    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.

    All these reviews saying it is unplayable... It is and there are some choppy areas. NPCs are very choppy, but gameplay is fun. Seeing all the bad reviews and videos, I went in with low expectations and am having a really fun time playing.

    I love Pokemon, but for the first actual open world Pokemon game it was a let down graphically. The render distance and visual quality was not great. Terastallization is a decent mechanic, but nothing will ever beat mega evolution.

    Despite some "peformance" issues, the game is fairly fun to play. Catching and battling pokemon is fun and so is hatching eggs. Graphics could be better but the nintendo switch isnt that powerful to handle better graphics.

    id say im a casual when it comes to pokemon. I played X and omega ruby on 3ds as the last pokemon games ive touched. This game does not disappoint. It was hard to get into at the start but once your main adventure starts its easy to lose track of time because of the exploration. however it does drain switch battery insanely quick and fps drops here and there.

    I have been playing this since launch and it’s been a fun experience. I enjoyed every minute. I experienced bugs here and there but the gameplay and stories are engaging. Like helping Arven with titan quests and battling gym leaders.
