Customer Ratings & Reviews

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

The bugs are not as bad as I heard they could be, but the graphics are indeed a step backwards from Sword/Sheild. Im enjoying the experience so far, but i am treating this game like an early access game rather than a complete one.

This game is open world and is good for those who like to explore. One of the best things of this game is being able to play with friends or family at the same time. It does have a couple of weird visuals but overall a good game.

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

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

A step in the right directing and enjoyed the game itself despite all the bugs and performance issues. Stories were good, systems are good, open world is good. Don't care for the active time Tera Raid design, but oh well.

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

Laggy, glitchy, most areas with people walking around it looks like a slideshow. No joke like 2-5fps on alot of things. Shocked this passed QC at nintendo. The story is otherwise amazing. I just finished it today. But still that being said a total crappy experience in 2022. Nintendo shiuld be ashamed.

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

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 .

Great game!! Good storylin!! Has a lot of new exciting things and one of the best open world games! Great first step for the pokemon company. The only problem is the bad graphics and slow framrate! Pokemon lovers will love it anyways

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 Overall a would-be great game, spoiled by outdated graphics, glitches, poor textures, and inexplicable game crashes.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.

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.

Awesome open map! Love that style. Just graphic glitches but still not enough to ruin it at all!

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

I pre-ordered this game and was disappointed when reviews were saying this game had major technical issues. So when I started playing, I kept this in mind, and prepared myself for the issues. To start off, I've only ever played Soulsilver on my DS lite when I was a kid, and Pokemon Moon on my 3ds, so I'm by no means a "huge pokemon fanatic." - However, contrary to the reviews, I didn't see any technical glitches at first. After about 6 hours of game play, I only saw three glitches: the floor disappeared when I was battling a pokemon (2x) and part of a pokemon's body part disappeared. And that's it. The people in the background are stuttery, yes, but I'm sure that's going to be patched out. The game is pretty fun so far and the characters are pretty likable. - However, my MAIN issue is the lack of detail! In Pokemon Moon (and Yokai Watch 2), the world was so detailed. Stores and houses had things on shelves and have cute, well-thought out touches. The towns look so plain and basic, it's crazy that 3DS games had more detail! And by detail, I don't mean "realistic-looking textures", I mean seeing books scattered messily on a shelf, and empty soda cups and crippled paper piled up on the floor next to a garbage can. This game lacked all of that. Those little details are always so appreciated. You can't go into stores and can't go into other homes. And the trees all look the same, there should of been variety. The water at the beach looks so weird, it doesn't have the white fuzz like a normal tide would have (even pokemon moon had detailed beaches!) - I'm disappointed. Not because of the technical issues (since I barely experienced any), but because of the lack of detail. Other than that, it's a pretty okay game for a casual player.

Great game lots to do and lots to explore. Very buggy and hoping they can fix the performance issues with a patch, but i dont think its possible. Seems like it needed more Q.A. testing before final release.

There are a lot of bugs and glitches in the game, but the story and gameplay were amazing. Havent played a main series game since Black and White 2. This game really brought me back into the franchise

This is a great game. Dont let the bad reviews let you down. The bugs in the game is the only complaint. And at best it will be patched later. People arent patient and that shows! Great game overall!

The story is really good, got me a bit emotional. But either way the play through is well made. There were some graphical bugs in the beginning but with the new updates its running smooth
