    For all the glitches and complaints I've read, another addictive Pokemon release. Arceus still best one I've played but this is solid entry. The glitches are actually kind of funny. Floating pokeballs where trainers are standing or randomly on screen :) Solid gyms and plenty of choices not just the traditional 8 gyms. Great play through. May even get the expansions.

    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.

    The game had and still has many problems but overall I still enjoy playing the game. I personally like the characters and story especially the fact that you can choose which storyline to follow first. But I didn't like the fact that you can't change your clothes as you can only use two sets of uniform and the only thing in abundance is the accessories.

    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.

    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.

    Buggy game, pre order bonuses aren't the coolest. Definitely are worse purchases to make. It's a Pokémon game, they could've waited longer and polished it up more, it would've been cool if it had more Pokémon. It's getting DLC and is still supported, compared to a lot of other games.

    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.
