I think this game is super fun but with some criticism necessary. While I will say there are points that feel were missed (if you were attached to a particular xy character, very likely they are basically in the shadow realm barring a few plot relevant ones) this game does
A fresh new take on the Pokémon formula. Playing on Switch 2 and it’s pretty good. A lot of people seem to forget this is a spin off title.
Probably one of the strongest entries in Pokemon in a while. First attempt to shake-up the formula that's actually really worked.
I don’t think I ever really had any hype for this game. Even though Arceus (which I played for at least 60 hours) is my favorite Pokémon game, I still thought I’d have at least some fun with this one. And honestly, the battle system looked pretty fun before I
Pokemon Yellow Version taught me how to read when I was 4 years old. Since then, I've played and beaten every single mainline game in the franchise, even going as far as completing the pokedex in many of them... needless to say, I am a HUGE Pokemon fan. That being
I have a Pikachu tattoo that I drew myself.
And a matching poncho.
I've made oil painting still-life's of chubby Pikachu.
This is the worst Pokémon game thus far.
How dare you do these terrible things to this beloved franchise.
What kinds of things?
The smallest map.
It's suffocating.
No reflections or transparencies on pictures of windows. No
Excellent fresh new take on the standard pokemon formula. Action combat with timed cool downs on moves makes this a new experience for the franchise. You, the trainer, can get hurt by the wild, aggressive Pokemon. You can easily swap between your active party members,
Man I love Pokemon. But lets be real, this game is really poorly-delivered. Lack of art direction, voice acting, animations, and overall care. The visual story-telling and some transitions are really discouraging by how low-effort they are. Do not make me talk about the png-style flat "style". The gameplay is
It’s a great game, so it’s a shame that some haters are making people unable to see the proper score — a kind of blind hatred without even playing the game. Well, maybe that’s all the poor can do.
They’ve definitely made real progress this time. I played it on the Switch 2, and it features impressive graphics, smooth performance, and beautiful art that vividly brings to life a city coexisting with Pokémon. The quality of the side quests is excellent. It’s a remarkable attempt, and it makes me
Finished the game and caught the legendaries. Wanna preface this by saying I think Legends Arceus is the best pokemon game to date. It's wasn't perfect but it had a solid foundation that they SHOULD have used for Z-A to build on. Z-A completely throws that foundation out the window.
The game it self is good. Not bad neither is great, it has some flaws but it is going in the right direction for the series. I'm pleased with the Switch 2 version. I would recommend this one in the series to a long fan returning to the series one
There's a difference between enjoying a Pokémon game because it's good, and enjoying a Pokémon game because it's POKEMON. and I don't know what you all are smoking, but it's CLEARLY the latter because half the positive reviews I see are "haha cry about it nana-nana booboo."
You're not being
Lazy game. Cheap textures. Bad endgame. Lack of the rpg features present in other previous pokémon games. I felt like its a downgrade even compared to Scarlet (even scarlet is not that good).
Not a bad game. Smooth flow (on Switch 2), fun gameplay, and pretty good story. Personally love the new megas, but most are very hit or miss. The only critiques I have are the graphics, the character customization, and the game itself. The game is super flat and chunky,
This game honestly couldn't be much worse. This is one the most successful companies on the planet and they couldn't even be bothered to put the bare minimum amount of effort.
