Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Shield Double Pack - Nintendo Switch

Okay, I havent played a pokemon game since Red and Blue. Ive been waiting to play a pokemon game on the t.v. for like 2 decades. Its not perfect when looking at graphics or other elements. But, its soooooo fun. I bought the combo pack for me and my 10 year old. This is her first pokemon game ever. I enjoy this game, and my 10 year old is having a positive first time experience. This game may not let you transfer old pokemon, but I view it as a new start. Theres alot of pokemon in the game to use, Im sure theyll come out with DLC for more. Enjoy the game and stop all the hate.

I was a little too old for Pokémon when it first came out, so Ive actually never played one before. Now that my son is just old enough to play games, though, I figured it might be a good way to get him into understanding strategy and give him an incentive to read more words. To this end, yes, Pokémon Sword and Shield have been a huge success. The games are colorful and engaging for a kid, and pleasant enough to make playing and helping out fun for Dad, too. Theyre not technical masterpieces, and the story is very childish for an adult, but the gameplay with catching Pokémon and building teams is fun. The difficulty level is too easy for me, but its just right for a kid. At age 5 my son does need help with it, though I appreciate that hes able to go off and do plenty of things without me constantly intervening, since you can always go back and heal your Pokémon for free and the death penalty isnt that harsh. Were each playing a different version, and we are making different teams and seeing all the differences each of us faces. In this way, the game has me feeling a bit ripped off. The two games are barely different enough to warrant selling the two versions in the first place. Even the things that are supposed to be different arent really. For example, in the 4th gym challenge you face a different leader in each version. But the challenge itself is 100% identical. You just fight a different set of Pokémon. We cant even notice whichever Pokémon are supposed to be unique to each version without looking it up, as 99% of the ones you encounter in the normal course of play are the same. I knew going into it that it wouldnt be the greatest value, but its actually even worse than I thought. I suppose this is what Nintendo does instead of microtransactions. Compare this to Luigis Mansion 3 where my son and I could both have a save file on the same account with one copy of the game. In this game you either need two games or two accounts. Still, Ill give the game 5 stars from the perspective of how my son feels about it and how its made him want to learn to understand complex game menus and things like that. I just have to recommend for gamers on a budget to only get one or the other version.

Daughter requested for 16th birthday and she and her 10 yr old brother love it

Great game! My son is playing it and i never played before any pokemon game and i like this one. Usually we play together.

Upset- I cannot use any of the codes because amazon an item from another region (country). I spent over $100 for the product in advance to get the promo as well as the inside the box codes and all 3 are useless. Very disappointed!! I’d use some rude words here, but I know that kids might read this.

cool

Loved the game, upset with the false advertisement for the gold studded case in game not being available. I would have pre-ordered from someone else that had a pre-order bonus. Super, unsatisfied with this issue.

My kids loved the games and it has really good graphics for a Pokémon game. Lots of play time and things to do. On the down side I never received the code for a leather case that was supposed to come. I got an email saying how to redeem it but it didnt do much good without the code.

Awesome game, Im so addicted to it!

This game is so easy, too much money for a tiny content. Post game was awful. I should pay attention to allá those complains before the release date.
