I won't lie, I caught all the pokemon and completed all the research and now I'm getting ready to perfect them, the story was okay and the graphics aren't that great, but the open world really saved the game

Indifferent guys. It's a game only with quests, no connection to the Pokémon we know. The truth is, I regretted buying it

Having abstained from Pokemon games (with the last one being black 2), I was amazed by the gameplay! The philosophy in the game is exploration, collecting Pokemon, missions, and not battles like in the older stories. It took me 52 hours to complete the main story, and there is still a lot to do. I think that with the way the game is set up, you can constantly find new challenges. The levels of the Pokemon increase easily, but it doesn't seem to play a significant role since even with a level 85 Pokemon, you can still lose to a level 55 Pokemon, especially in cases where 2-3 attack you at once. Overall, I think it's a great story, it entertains you, and it's definitely worth the money. As for the negatives, I would mention the multiplayer and online Pokemon trading since you need a subscription to switch online (which probably isn't worth it).

Comparing it to previous 3DS games, it is definitely better, the open world gives it a different dimension. However, I can say that it is quite more difficult than others, at the beginning all the Pokémon feel like they do a lot of damage regardless of your level advantage, and it requires a lot of time and effort to progress through the story (which is also not something wow) to the point where you get tired of playing. In terms of graphics, colors, sounds, etc. there is no problem. For me, as a fan of the franchise, the game is wonderful and despite its negatives, I would definitely recommend it only to people who are not bothered by these small problems that I mentioned above

Guys, the game doesn't exist for me....The gameplay is incredible, you can spend hours on it and after you finish the storyline by completing missions and requests...I hope they continue the franchise in the same style...It's worth the money...I highly recommend it

It is something completely different from what you are used to from this series! Very interesting game, you can easily spend hours on it! I hope they further develop this idea without any glitches, like what happened with violet and scarlet, which is definitely my next game once they "fix" it...

By far the best new Pokemon game out there... unfortunately, the online aspect is still lacking even now, and it has a crafting system (bleh).

But it has quality of life changes that were necessary for the game (like being able to evolve without trades, ease in learning and forgetting moves, and much easier level up).

The world is enormous and you can play for hours even after finishing the story. It's a shame that scarlet/violet isn't equally as good...

I will agree with the positive reviews that I see below, there is nothing for me to say that has not been mentioned. A very good effort for something different (towards the positive) from what we have seen so far from the Pokemon franchise.

Excellent game with great graphics but the price is steep! Maybe if someone found it used, it would be worth it

It's worth its money for fans of the genre, it's something different like Pokemon Colosseum for the GameCube

Certainly it was not exactly what we all expected after all the hype, but it is still something completely different from all the other Pokemon games. I consider it a very beautiful game that can keep you entertained for many hours! Beautiful graphics (more serious than previous Pokemon games), addictive gameplay, more interactive battles, nice minimal sound, and overall I hope the next generations of Pokemon will follow this direction! On the negative side, it could have been more polished in some aspects. For example, the animations of the Pokemon flying in the air and being caught look completely fake and their movements seem to "stutter". Also, when you throw the pokeball into the water to catch a Pokemon, it moves in a completely fake way. Despite all this, I give it 5 stars because it was a very original idea that I hope will inspire the upcoming Scarlet/Violet games!

The story is very bad. It lacks trainers and badges. It has the same pattern constantly, making it a very boring game. I have been playing Pokémon for years, and it is by far the worst

Ok, look and see, the graphics are not what I expected from Nintendo and the world is very empty. The story is boring, but I like the open world and crafting. I would recommend getting it if you're interested in hunting shinies, otherwise wait until the next one comes out. (I've spent 80 hours in the game just to find shinies, otherwise I would have given up before even catching Arceus.)

Very nice game, few complaints such as the fact that the AI of the Pokémon in the world is simply dumb, they don't do anything, and that sometimes the world seems very empty. Apart from that, the game is incredible, I've spent almost 30 hours in 5 days playing it, it keeps you glued to the switch screen the whole time, you'll always be looking for something to do.

Finally! After 20 years of waiting, the Pokemon game that many of us imagined has been created. And the execution is flawless: The new mechanics work smoothly and fluidly, allowing the smart gameplay to shine. Although it took longer than it should have, it is happy that this childhood dream has been realized, for the enjoyment of both the new and older generation

It is the Best Pokemon Cassette that has been released so far! Quite difficult compared to the others and several hours of gameplay even after completing the cassette, you have things to do!! Maybe I would like to have more Pokemon in the Pokédex!! It is something different from what we have seen so far in Nintendo Pokemon games, it is worth having it in your collection!

The best Pokemon game. I have no words to describe it. Flawless gameplay, open world, level up, you can see your favorite Pokemon live. I bought the Nintendo Switch just for this game. There is room for improvement in graphics and multiplayer, but those are minor details compared to the overall experience.

Coming from the blue in Game Boy and having played almost all versions, I will say that it is a pioneering in the field of Pokemon and a very good first approach to the open world game. It is definitely not something jaw-dropping, but it remains an enjoyable game. Let's see how far the journey will go.

I think it is the best Pokemon game available on the Switch. Since we are talking about Game Freak, unfortunately yes, the graphics are not very good and the performance is not what one would want, but it is at a much better level than Scarlet and Violet and Legends ZA, with far fewer bugs and performance issues, I would say. Not only that, but the battle system is more original and more innovative than the others. So yes, if you want a Pokemon game for the Switch, I would easily recommend this one.

Since I was little, I played Pokemon on the DS. Basically, it's the same recipe with different Pokemon and trainers. This one, however, has different playstyles like the strong/agile style, and it removed IVs and EVs, crafting, Pokedex, etc. It uses the Sinnoh Pokedex and there are some "ancestors" from the Sinnoh trainers. It's a very different experience but also risky for Game Freak. One downside is the graphics, low-quality rendering and repetitive textures. If you compare it to Sword/Shield or BOTW, it's a bit worse. It needed a bit more optimization, but when you play Pokemon, you don't really care about the graphics. And to be honest, it doesn't bother me much. I've played it for about 30 hours and I still enjoy it.

Very nice game, something completely different from the previous Pokemon games, its graphics are good with very nice gameplay and it seems that the game is very big. The only thing I would like is more Pokemon, but they might add more in future DLCs...

One of the worst Pokemon experiences I've ever had. The game has some good ideas like catching Pokemon in real time (sort of) and the Pokedex entries, but overall it's tragic. The boss battles are laughable, the battle system is equally laughable (one-shot everything, no reason to play with agile/strong style or defensive abilities), and the story is worse than what we're used to in the mainline games. I don't need to talk about the graphics and quality of this open world, everyone has already said it, even those who liked the game... Of course, it's not Game Freak's fault for this, but the world that nagged them to make a game based on this mediocrity called Breath of the Wild.

2 stars and let's go back to the old ones. We keep the third-person style along with the new animations, the rest is garbage.

Pokemon open World is what we always wanted. The graphics are not very nice, the truth is though that Pokemon never had good graphics and that is not the goal. The graphics of the Pokemon (monsters) are quite good. The music is wonderful, the gameplay would be improved if there was voice over. For me, it is worth it and shows that the next one will be even better!

A very "modern" Pokemon game. It abandons outdated techniques and adopts a fresh air and convenient mechanics.
It gives you a beautiful sense of exploring the world and you really want to collect and complete everything. It offers hundreds of hours of gameplay.
However, it also has its negatives such as bad graphics, lack of multiplayer, dead dialogues, and a poor story, lack of voice acting, which would really elevate it if they existed.
I hope the mainline Pokemon series continues like this

I had said it, it happened after many years of waiting, maybe we all expected an open world Pokemon like Zelda, but it was quite lukewarm and kind of a mediocre open world, I would say. What does beloved Nintendo do all these years? They just release games for the sake of releasing them. Out of the 10, only 2 are worth it, and even those need improvement. That's exactly what happened here, they released the Pokemon we wanted to see, but it's just mediocre, just like many others they released. It's average and that's it, Nintendo, you're exhausting us with these prices.

P.S. Finally, let the protagonists speak in the dialogues, we're tired of the mute and cartoonish graphics like in Phantom Hourglass with frying pan heads going around like the childish Noddy! Improve, we love you but you keep throwing the same things supposedly better here and for many years.
