Super happy about Pokemon Sword and Shield. In my eyes and I am sure a lot of others agree with me, this game is fantastic in every aspect especially with the new update allowing you to get a bunch of the old favorites.
It could much be better, overall this was lackluster compared to past titles. There were new gimmicks in this version, the new dynamax pokemons are like any other gimmicks from mega evolutions or z-powers. I was really hoping for something like HGSS with multiple regions and a expansive story with trailing pokemon. Honestly the Pokemon Go app shows more promise as a company than GameFreak with its development. And now SWSH is releasing a new DLC making you buy some of your old pokemon back.
Pokemon Sword and Shield are the only Pokemon games I've played since Black and White, so the game seems amazing. However I do have some complaints. There is a lack of a post game, and I don't want to pay more money for what should have already been in the game. Also, the fact that we need to pay money to use a bad online service that doesn't work half the time when good a good online was around in the previous games for free bothers me.
Pokémon Sword & Shield have made many improvements from past Pokémon titles. Open world and camera movement, a more diverse character customization system, 4 player max raid battles, and better scaling. My only complaints that there isn’t a ton of postgame options. I do believe that this will be solved in the DLC however.
Not the worst Pokemon game, but by far not the best. The implementation of open world areas and raids does it justice, but poor animations and lack of content do not. However, this should all hopefully be solved with the expansion pass, we'll see!
I have spent hours on the endless training and fun I can do in this game. Brought back a lot of old love and I can’t wait for more.
Best thing to ever happen to Pokémon in my opinion. Open world areas, character customization, raids, and and some awesome visuals! This game actually makes you see how big or small Pokémon are and kicks up gym battles and the cinematic for battles! Excited for the expansions and to see what’s next for the series!
This game is the pokemon game I've been looking for since downloading Pokemon Go, after X-Y and Sun-Moon This takes the best of those games and makes them even better!
it is good, but paying like 30 extra dollars for maybe 200 pokemon is not worth it, I will propably buy the extra anyways but nintendo is so money hungry
Awesome game and would recommend it but game is getting slightly more expensive due to DLC, online, and Pokémon home but overall fun for hours

It's not as bad as sun and moon, but there is no National Dex which is annoying af so it limits its competitive scene and flips off completionists who want to collect all 1,000 or more pokemon. The leveling system is mediocre since it spoon feeds the casual player to keep playing and not do a grind, like the grind is half the fun in my opinion.
This game is TIGHT. Was a little skeptical of new features as well as new Pokémon but overall the game grew on me way more than I’d expect. Only going to give 4 the game 4 stars tho bc it was too easy. Probably the only critique I would give bc I love a challenge and the games story was just way too easy. A great game for my son to start playing now that I think about it.
Really enjoyed but would like to see some old features like other folks. Mostly the secret bases, contests & pokemon walkin beside us in the game. Would be awesome
I wanna see some old features return. Most people probably forgot about things like contests, secret bases, battle videos and frontier badges. Or even the Pokémon races and mini games, having a Pokémon walk alongside you too. It’d be cool to see any of that incorporated in the future.
I’m not going to lie, I was skeptical. Maybe I’m being generous because I love playing all Pokémon games but I was completely blown away. Did I think they made the game excessively easy? Sure! Do I wish a difficulty setting would be put into place for more experienced players? Absolutely. But the new Pokémon grew on me and Dynamaxing is fun and creative. There is plenty of post-game content that doesn’t have specific rules. The journey is truly never over. Can’t wait for the extension!
Great game overall, still has plenty of features I’d like to see improved in the future (y-com related mainly), but I look forward to sticking with the franchise for years to come and seeing these things improve! I liked having a rival who was a jerk to me for the first time in so many gens lol. All of the characters were really well designed too. At first I was worried dynamaxing was just the new mega evolution, and it kind of is- but dynamaxing is more fun than I thought it’d be.
This game was good finished In 4 days or so. Can wait for the dlc though , wish it was longer
This is a pretty great game. Also I am excited for the new DLC that sort of fixes the National Dex problem.
Expensive but good. Both the core game and the expansion look ok the lack of pokemon is bad. Gameplay is like all of the other games but dynamax is gold. The best part of the game is the story, it’s in my opinion the best story of all the pokemon games.
@Jaster:) Yeah but it’s way better than paying for another fucking game , at least it adds on to the Pokédex we already completed or not
Amazing game!!! They are definitely some flaws, but there is in every game. This Pokemon game is very similar in many ways to the old Pokemon games, but there is now a sense of freedom within the wild area where you never know which Pokemon you're going to find next. I can't wait for the dlc with even more new gigantamax Pokemon, legendaries, mythicals, and so much more!!!
Great game and definitely worth the switch buy/wait and i love the new den feature!
Pokemon sword and shield are good pokemon games and are perfectly fine for the move to home console, but there is still some glaring issues with the game. One, the selection of Pokemon you get in game is pitiful. I’m fine with not all Pokemon being in the game, but the selection they chose was lacklustre. Second, postgame kinda sucks, not much to do but complete the pokedex and play the battle tower, but they can get stale. Despite that though, the Pokemon look wonderful and more alive than ever
the game is just amazing but not perfect. sure more than half of the pokedex is missing and its the only thing i ever see in pokemons twitter replies. sometimes it feels like the story isnt there. and i feel like i move thru the gym challenges way too fast. but on the other note, the new pokemon are amazing. the camp feature is amazing.
Pros: The aesthetics and characters were lovely, absolutely adored some of the new mons as well as the new gameplay mechanics featured (like camp and Gigantamax), and it's MUCH easier to make competitive teams. Cons: The game as a whole was short and the post-game felt quite lackluster, along with some of the battle animations being lazy (that's more of a nitpick though). Not to mention the wild area being notorious for its god awful lag whilist online. Bad game? Not necessarily, although I find that there isn't too much to do after the post-game and it gets boring quickly. Abundantly overpriced for what it's worth in my opinion.
Great gameplay and characters, but lacked many features. The main story was Exciting to play but the post game was under average. I hope the dlc will be good
have to admit loved it and can't wait for the dlc I am 3 Pokémon away from completing the Dex
The game is great tho I feel like they put less effort into the game, USUM has way more features and exploration
why the fuck do you need 16$ a month for basic fucking services people have been asking for since launch
@R3Ruiz there's a service they wanna charge almost 20 dollars for when it's legit the most basic trade feature to have in the game yet we have to pay for it
@KiefytheVeteranChild ohhh you mean pokemon home? theres a free version. the only difference is that you have only 1 box and can only do 1 online trade request at a time.
Great game, lot more fun post game making competitive teams, shiny hunting and doing the max Raids with people. Can’t wait for the DLC.
the plot is non-existent and pretty rubbish, and the dex cut hurt the game even more But the online’s pretty good and it’s a well designed game
Pokemon sword and shield are both wonderful games with wonderful new mechanics that add flavor to the traditional styled Pokémon game. Now as with any game it has a few flaws such as playtime and difficulty. Contrast to the last Pokémon game on the Nintendo switch the game has more difficulty. My personal question is what has happened to your rivals? Instead of picking a Pokémon that is better than your type they choose the weaker one. Overall a solid game.
I enjoy Pokemon as general. I like the show and played quite of the games. It's just I can't turnaway from playing the games. Gotta catch'em all!
When I was young, I remembered most of pokemon name, but i have no idea with numerous new Pokemons.
Jesus, I just hatched more than 500 eggs to get a charmander but still not appear. Do I Have to give up?
