S Tier and Magical Adventure with Endgame Content for Months

This is the best Pokemon game although all stand out in their own way. The soundtrack is amazing (Toby Fox masterpiece), and the story and dlc is hilarious and exciting! The characters are very colorful, well written, and non-bland. The dlc lets you trade with almost all the trainers from the story, which is so cool and holds tremendous value. I can't wait to trade the Elite Four's pokemon into future games with their special marks and ribbons. Other than that, there is endless content as far as weekly 6 star tera raids (very hard) and shiny hunting (very easy with the picnic table method being official by Gamefreak on twitter). So yeah, I love and still play this game a lot and it's the best one of all time. Online battling is too hard-core for me, but there's other social features people sleep on, like the team blueberry hunts in the dlc. So yeah, this game is goated.

This game is awesome!

This game is a great one with little flaws in the story. Although it has it's fair share of glitches and bugs, it isn't too bad!

Meh but worth getting

Ambitious open world concept but it does not keep up with the Switch at all. Pop-ins, glitches, crashes, etc. Great game and decent story but horrible player UX.

Glitchy, But Still Fun

Despite the glitchy graphics, it’s still a super fun game. Hope Game Freak takes all the negative reviews seriously for the next open-world Pokémon game they create.

An over all fun game, that while it suffers from graphical issues, is just fun to play. A good number of good pokemon new and old are included in this new region.

Just update the software! This game is 10/10

Give it a chance! Now that there have been patches and software updates I LOVE this game. Hadn’t picked up my switch in almost a year until I got this game. I seriously played for almost 3 days straight. It’s like Breath of The Wild, but Pokémon! So much fun. It’s occasionally a little laggy and the camera is sometimes not the best, but I’ve had a blast.
