Sep 21, 2020This game is not nearly as bad as the internet makes it out to be. People act like it’s the worst game ever made, when that’s simply not the case. It has flaws such as the lack of a national pokedex, but raid battles and the new gyms are pretty amazing. I also really dig the new designs. Sobble is my new favorite Pokémon now.

Sep 19, 2020A huge downgrade to the Pokemon series, and not for nostalgia reasons. There are so many bugs and dropped features leaking throughout this mess, which is unacceptable for a huge company with a highly anticipated game like Nintendo.
-
Sep 18, 2020Pokemon were used to sell DLC. the Pokedex is not complete. The game is very short.

Sep 12, 2020My first experience with the Switch Pokemon games and I was not disappointed. Massive improvement over the 3DS era of Pokemon.

Sep 3, 2020Worst pokemon game i have ever played. Didn't even feel like pokemon and it go to the point the story felt like a chore to play though. You could pay me and even then i dread to play though this game again.

Sep 1, 2020l'histoire est trop légère , la team ennemie ne sert a rien et le rival est un boulet mais sinon les pokémon , les stades et les combats gigamax sont vraiment cool

Aug 31, 2020It's really disappointing, not at all what people expected...........

Aug 27, 2020juego incompleto, una mierda en toda regla, no importa si tiene los mejores personajes, el juego es una basura

Aug 21, 2020overhated it’s not a bad game it’s not exactly a good game either but it’s fun and that’s what matters i wouldn’t actually give it a 10/10 i just am to counter the trills my real score would be 8/10

Aug 20, 2020De lo mejorcito que he jugado en Nintendo Switch, y por supuesto me parece una de las mejores ediciones de Pokémon hasta la fecha.

Aug 18, 2020How can this game possibly be on a sistem that can run skyrim? Confront the wild area with skyrim... it's absurd.
Online services are terrible and you need to pay for it. It was way better in x y with the gts. The game is getting worse instead of improving.
Masuda lied and resold us old models instead of improving te game. -

Aug 11, 2020As a pokemon player, this game is a complete disapointments. Graphics are an insult, wild area is bad imolemented, the game is ridiculously easy, no all pokemonas,caves and dungeons are so linear, the history is awfull, to sum up, game is very incompleted.

Aug 7, 2020Just spent 60 **** dollars on a half finished game. If you want to play a pokemon game then just download an emulator. You are better off that way.

Aug 7, 2020Desapointing, bad optimized. Playing since red/blue, I give up the franchise. Wild area its not interesting to play, the frame rate goes way down, giving headache. Bad interaction with your friends, compared to XY gen.

Nintendo Force MagazineApr 30, 2020Sword & Shield stumble in a few areas and history may not be kind to them, but they're setting up a future that I'm excited to see. [Issue #44 – January/February 2020, p. 73]

Feb 6, 2020I enjoyed my time with Pokemon Sword and Shield, but I ended feeling conflicted. I appreciate many of the changes and felt that it generally respected my time, but I almost felt like a passive participant. The more complex gym challenges had a meatier role, but the narrative shouldn’t have been shoved to the side. Overall, I would recommend it to players who want to have a Pokemon experience, but this one won’t stick with me the way the older ones have.
