    I started playing Pokémon on the Nintendo DSI all the way up to the 3DS, but unfortunately, was unable to get the switch so my Pokémon journey ended there it seemed. As of last year I have since been able to get a switch (but for the family…) seeing an opportune I bought the latest Pokémon game to try out (even with mixed reviews) and I have to say I’ve been enjoying it greatly, ignoring the performance issues which of lately have greatly improved (at least on my end) on this 4g+ update. So I would recommend checking this game out if you like Pokémon!

    Haven't played Pokémon in awhile and figured I would give it a try, this game is fantastic and the advisors helped me find the last copy in the store. Amazing purchase.

    Game is very enjoyable. Gave it 4 stars since the switch is not that powerful and the game does look a bit old even though it is a fairly new title. Love Pokémon, you pay for an amazing experience!

    I’m enjoying the game so far. No major glitches yet, but haven’t gotten too far in the game so I dunno. I’m enjoying the gameplay catching Pokémon and exploring.

    An amazing game through and through. The mechanics definitely revamp and reinvent the classic Pokemon formula. The game does have its quirks though, such as some slight stuttering and minor texture and model issues. The ending is amazing and incredibly worth experiencing.
