Safe to say that Gamefreak and the Pokemon company are gunna need to prove themselves moving forward at least in my book. I got the game despite the controversy and while I did enjoy it, at the same time I still cant help but feel like I’ve been cheated out of the true experience I wanted from it.

Kind of off topic but speaking to the infamous performance issues still plaguing the games, “Outdated hardware” is a terrible excuse for lack of care.

At least the core mechanics of what makes a Pokemon game are there, but the promise of the open world is flawed, buggy, and Gamefreak can’t even release new content in working condition.

I’m skeptical about next weeks update and very skeptical about the DLC content slated for later this year. For those who can continue to enjoy the game, more power to you, but for me, a long time Pokemon fan, I have to say at this point I’m disappointed.

What, did ya'll expect Dying Light 2 to beat out Pokemon? LOL

Was going to pick this up and try out. However, there are in game purchase items you can purchase through micro transactions to buff your character (Rocky Helmet increases attack, etc.). What's the point of playing if people can just buy their way into having an advantage? Good luck to anyone who plays this long term :/

Honestly would've been surprised if it was any less the 399.99

"ThIs Is WhAt ThE fAnS rEaLlY wAnTeD" as if everyone has the same damn opinion. People are gunna complain either way, whether it was chibi style, "sword and shield" style, "Let's go" style, "breath of the wild" style, gangam style. Buy what interests you and shut dafuq up.

@Deadsea1993 i will agree with you that their business model wasn't ideal for what they were doing. Stadia is a streaming service, no matter how you spin it. So to offer access to a single title for full price is kind of absurd, especially when most people, including myself, were expecting Stadia to originally do something more like Gamepass/Xcloud: a monthly fee for access to games
which is definitely more ideal. That being said, I too was on the "no Stadia" train until a few months ago, I got three months of Stadia pro for free. And I was hooked. I personally haven't experienced many issues with it. There are some occasional hiccups, but overall, it works well. I've purchased games that were on sale and I have Ubisoft Plus and I am happy with the service.

But I also agree that Microsoft is on to something, that is essentially, offering Xcloud as a supplemental service alongside Xbox, not as a replacement. Stadia seeks to replace the home console, and the more I think about it, the more I realize this may ultimately turn people off from Stadia. And because of this, Stadia is subjected to the most criticism out of any gaming platform.

Anyways, just my thoughts on the subject.

@Snatcher i use Stadia and it actually works pretty well. people are quick to knock it, but haven't even tried it. seems to be the way to world works now a days. it's a shame not enough people gave it a chance cause it's great. only time will tell whether it lasts or not :/

Looks awesome! I'm willing to try it out

I am genuinely interested in this. Hope it ends up being as good as it looks.

I've played for about an hour and a half so far, and I have to say...why wasn't the entire game like this to begin with?? Don't get me wrong, the main game was enjoyable, but we need more of this in the future! A more open world Pokemon game with huge areas, side quests, etc! Hopefully they improve upon this idea for future installments. Loving the dlc so far!

I mean, all things considered, 690K units in one year is not bad, especially this late in the 3DS life cycle. I still use mine once in a while, but I always gravitate towards my Switch lol.

They should keep their classic games separate. If they offered a service similar to xbox game pass at a 4.99 per month service on the Switch with more games (N64, Gamecube, Gameboy, Wii, etc) I would be willing to buy into that.

Im glad I picked this up yesterday. Best one in the series

Why is his name Baldo if he has hair?

This is such an under rated game. It's my personal favorite in the series. They should just re-release the GBA version on Switch and I would be very happy with that.

Sonic and Pokemon

Good job, Nintendo. Don't want to ruin the integrity of competitive Animal Crossing, ya know?

I wasn't sure if I was gunna buy this game or not, but, when I saw this in the direct today it changed my mind.

I literally don't understand this. People are going to find a way to cheat anyways, so what's the point of punishing the player base as a whole?

Been looking forward to this release. Liking all the added features.

@KitsuneNight I think if you read my post correctly, you'll see that I actually acknowledge that Nintendo can offer a better service.

This is amazing

I'll stick with Shovel Knight

For $20 a year, it's unreasonable to expect the $60 per year level of service Sony and Microsoft offer for their home consoles. What Nintendo is offering is fine for the price (cloud storage, retro games), but the workings of an online service are literally laid out for them. Charge more, offer more. Offer better retro titles, offer cloud storage for ALL games, get familiar with dedicated servers, offer more exclusives like Tetris 99, offer more exclusive in game content, etc. I am willing to pay a higher price for a better service.

Im confused... Can you only use GTS on the mobile app?

"Best Animal Crossing Games of All Time"

What a a headline for four mainline games and three spinoff games lol

3rd gen is 3rd
2nd gen is 2nd
1st gen is 1st

lol

@Realnoize I can definitely understand your perspective, but I feel like we are quite aways from an all cloud-based gaming future. Stadia just dropped a few months ago and it's not holding up well. And yes, it is sad to see physical copies of media slowly being phased out. It's just the way of commerce. New ideas cycle in that are more convenient than what was previously available. It's inevitable and I think we have to embrace the future at some point.

Pretty sure Microsoft knows they can't win the traditional console war. They have the potential to blow Google out of the water. The X Cloud beta already has a one-up on Stadia simply by having more games available. Game Pass and exclusives give them the upper hand. Hopefully the real thing will deliver once it's ready to be released.

EA sucks, but if you're stupid enough to spend money on loot boxes to the point where you fall behind on your rent, then at that point it's your own damn fault.

That being said, don't purchase any EA games. They're not good anyways.

Not enough to justify 9.49 per month. Fairly ridiculous.

Pretty impressive for a dead console imo.

Whatever. The free version is fine and I really don't have an issue with the premium plan, except I just don't like how they put PokeBank transfers behind another paywall, personally.

I love my Switch. I use it more than anything. However, games like the Witcher 3, I don't care to play on the go. Recently, I bought a digital copy of the GOTY edition on PS Store for $14.99! The $49.99 price tag on the Switch for this, in my opinion, wasn't worth it when I have a PS4 and I can buy it for cheap. While, I do appreciate that the game can exist on the Switch as well, in a case like this, I just feel it's not worth it to pay more for portability.

Looks interesting to me

This is horrifying

I love Balloon Fight. Definitely picking this one up.

For the price of Mario Kart 8, you can instead get one character and a couple of chances to get a character that you want XD

I think the funniest thing about reading these comments is that everyone is judging the review and not the game. None of you have even played it yet so how can you form a proper opinion? LOL

People are still gonna find a way to cheat, regardless. Also, I still fail to see how this prevents cheating?

This may follow the typical F2P model, but after spending a few hours with this game, I feel it is more rewarding then most other F2P games I've tried. Mario Kart Tour I feel is more aggressive with their micro-transactions.

I've been playing this for a few hours now, and I have to admit, I am actually enjoying this more than Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze. But, I have to also admit that I probably wouldn't be able to appreciate The Impossible Lair if I hadn't played Donkey Kong. The over world map is a nice addition. I wouldn't call myself a platforming "purist", but platformers are one of my top genres and I definitely appreciate over world map exploration.

The game is fun, though it feels kind of on the rails at times. My only other complaint is that the micro transactions are aggressive, especially after the update.

Opts to play the Witcher 3 on the Switch. "The Switcher".

Failing to see the Zelda inspired aspects in this trailer.

Just cause you can chop trees down in Breath of the Wild, doesn't make every game you can chop trees down in "Zelda inspired"...lol

Just this footage alone shows how immersive this game is in comparison to the other installments. I've been playing these games since the original Red and Blue versions were first released in the US. It is awesome to see how far along the Pokemon series has come.

This looks amazing

I actually forgot about this game until now. Definitely on my list.
