Don't worry about dexit naysayers, this is great fun

New mons are really great, designs, move pools on point. New Dynamax mechanic allows for a lot of fun strategies. Friendliest pokemon game ever where raising mons for competitive is concerned.

Pokemon Sword - Nintendo Switch

I'm not sure why everyone keeps complaining about this game. I got it yesterday to see what all the fuss was about, and couldn't put it down! I'm loving everything about it so far. I'm 25 years old, and have been a huge fan of Pokemon since the Gameboy Color.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Review

Pokemon Sword and Shield is an excellent entry in Game Freak's iconic franchise, pushing the series forward in some exciting ways while never forgetting the roots that made it so loved in the first place. While it underwhelms in its visuals and under-baked use of new ideas, the act of exploring Galar and catching creatures remains as delightfully compelling as it's ever been – and that's what really matters in the end.

Galar is a vast and inviting world; Combat remains as charmingly addictive as ever; So many new Pokemon to encounter across the new region; Innovates on the formula is some great ways;

Visually underwhelming in places; Some of its new ideas feel a bit underutilised;
