Pokemon Sword - Nintendo Switch

Pokemon sword is the reason I fell back in love with the games, I have played all the main games on switch and sword still ranks at the top for me It feels old school with the battle style, not the active style of newer games plus the dynamax isn't overbearing unlike tera on scarlet violet The game has a lower difficulty than most of the newer ones however if you are not as used to the combat style of pokemon it does teach you Purchased in new condition came correctly packaged and sealed.

So I had to sit down and write a review for this game after reading a few others and seeing that they have clearly missed the whole point of this game! One review here states they completed it in 20 hours and so one starred it...well I am 15 hours into the game and am just on my way to 4th gym. The reason is is that this is not a game you are meant to grab a team of 6 and blast through everything. Like most people I was turned off by some of the features that were to be included, Dynamax, lack of National Dex, etc. But I picked it up anyway and instantly found myself immersed as I emerged from my house and saw Wooloos (sheep pokemon) grazing and Butterfrees flying overhead. It felt like I truly was stepping into the world of Pokemon. As someone who has played since Gen 1, I was impressed. I also enjoyed how they set you up for the gym challenge with you having to be endorsed/sponsored. After watching a brief animation of the starters mucking around I picked up my Grooky and was ready to begin my adventure...but first a narrative forced route through The Slumbering Weald, a dense forest thick with fog that began to cloud my vision with haunting music playing through the background. There a strange pokemon emerged before me, a chilling cry spreading fog further into my path, I attacked but to no avail, then blacked out and awoke to find it gone. Not going to lie...I was intrigued. For the first time in a long time I wanted to know more!! Following the usual shtick, i.e. fight rival, be the best blah blah blah I found myself in the heart of the game, the Wild Area, and this place is awesome! Think a smaller scale Breath of the Wild. Unlike most games there are not just a handful of pokemon, as the weather and time changes you can find more than 30-40 pokemon around here, this gives you huge team opportunities and will allow for future playthroughs to be different each time. I wandered to the right and picked up a Tyrogue and a handful of new pokemon. I then encountered the first issue in game, that people moan about...not being able to turn off EXP Share. I arrived at the first city and headed around towards the gym where I trounced the first gym with absolute ease and my pokemon were a good 4 levels over despite me being careful and avoiding trainers and wild battles so as not to overlevel. I returned to the Wild Area and decided I wanted to spend some time exploring and just enjoying the game, so I boxed my main team and pulled out a fresh new team of 6 of randoms that I didn't care if I levelled up, and this is where I found the real joy and heart of this game. Wandering around and exploring the lush scenery and finding all the hidden gems and pokemon, camping out and searching for rare, exotic items and pokemon, switching my team around every so often to raise some of the new critters I had found. This is NOT a game to run around with 6 pokemon, but a game that allows you to swap and change your team and raise them quickly so you don't have to worry if a new pokemon comes along that you want to try. My main team of 6 quickly began changing as I tried out every new pokemon I could find. My Tyrogue became Hitmonlee and I picked up a Toxel from the nursery...one of the COOLEST evolutions I have ever seen! I even picked up the Apple pokemon which again evolved into a surprisingly awesome dragon! Well done Gamefreak! The designs for this game are some of the best in a long time! In short I will spend hours more on this game just exploring and raising all the new pokemon. I'm currently swapping between around 20 pokemon (you have a portable pokemon box so can switch on the go). You set your own challenge. I keep my main team for the story and am finding they are even slightly underlevelled now which is great as the wild pokemon end up being really strong and gym trainers and challengers actually put up more of a fight! But if I so wish I can power them up with a few random battles against the stronger Wild Area pokemon. So don't rush and overpower yourself, just take your time and enjoy exploring everything! There's plenty of side quests and hidden gems to find

Great Pokémon game that my son really loves My son absolutely adores this game, and it has been a real winner in our house since he got it. For fans of the series, the familiar formula of catching, training and battling Pokémon is all here and still very engaging, with enough variety to keep him coming back for more rather than getting bored quickly. He’s spent a good few hours with it and always seems keen to pick it up again after a break, which is a good sign in itself. Most reviews and player impressions I’ve seen echo that enjoyment, praising the fun gameplay and the new Wild Area which adds a bit of freedom and exploration compared with older titles. The graphics are noticeably better than the last handheld generation, and the story, while nothing groundbreaking, feels solid and enjoyable for younger players especially. That said, some people do point out that it can feel a bit easy at times and the overall pace is quite gentle, so it’s not the most challenging RPG out there. There are also comments about the post-game content being a bit light unless you pick up the expansions, and a few long-time fans mention that some features they loved in older games didn’t make it in this edition. For what it is though, and for my son’s enjoyment, it’s been brilliant. It makes a lovely gift and gives hours of entertainment without being too complex for younger or more casual players.

This is my first Pokémon game since Pokémon Yellow many moons ago. Graphics are pretty good and are cartoony like previous titles - maybe not as impressive as Breath of the Wild but still quite decent. The region of Galar is bright and colourful. Like old titles, you can find items out in the world like Poke Balls and potions, and talking to NPCs can land you some nice goodies. The Pokémon themselves are quite good, maybe not quite the classics as previous Generations. They seem to level up quite quickly, in just slightly over 3 hours most of my team are over level 10, and my Scorbunny (my starter Pokémon) has just evolved. Not all previous Pokémon are in the game which has caused quite a bit of controversy as you can't now (to my understanding) "catch 'em all". That's a bit of shame but maybe including all 800+ Pokémon (or whatever the total number is now!) would have significantly extended development time on the game, and considering the "next gen" nature, may have been infeasible (e.g. pushing up development costs). This doesn't really bother me though as there's still plenty of Pokémon to see and catch, and there's more depth here I think than the likes of the mobile game, Pokémon Go. Overall, a pretty good Pokémon game and a good first attempt for the Switch. Maybe not the best entry for those who have played the other titles but so far I've enjoyed it.

None stop playing.

Turn based creature battler game. This game takes place in a region based on England. The new gimmick introduced in this game is the wide areas and dynamaxing. Wide areas are semi open world areas. Dynamaxing is when your Pokémon is enlarged to 100x times their size. The graphics and level design is beautifully arrange. Pokémon is a game where you collect and battle Pokémon aka pocket monsters. The goal of the game is to collect every gym badge, battle the elite four & champion, and eventually meet (and own) every type of Pokémon to complete the pokédex. The gyms in this game takes place in large football stadiums-like stadiums designed after England's love for football. Even the fire starter Pokémon is designed after a footballer. The water starter is designed after spies (Johnny English/James Bond style). The grass starter is designed after rock and roll drummers from Britain's love for music concerts. This is the 8th game in the pokémon main line games. There are multiplayer features. You can battle and trade pokémon with friends locally or with people from around the world globally. Once you finish the main game, there is still hours worth of content in the game. A post story where you battle and catch the legendary pokémon Zacian (looks like doggo with a sword in it's mouth). Collect all trainer/league cards. Complete the currydex by cooking all 151 different types of curry. This game has 2 expansions. Isle of Armour DLC and The Crown Tundra DLC. In Isle of Armour, you train and battle in a Dojo and befriend the legendary fighting pokémon Kubfu. In The Crown Tundra DLC you catch almost every other legendary pokémon from the older Pokémon games.

Great

This game was extremely good, i completed the entire thing already and got zacian, About to do the battle tower. A lot of people are review bombing this game because they are too easily convinced by twitter, But really, this game is fantastic, The story was great, the characters, the new pokémon, the wild area, all the new items and mechanics, It's really improved since ultra sun and moon and i feel sad for all the people boycotting this incredible game, they are the ones missing out. What i loved most about this game the most was the wild zone, it is so much fun to go there and catch a load of pokémon in a huge open area and do the dens, You can collect W (watts) and redeem them for items like TMs and wishing pieces (which are used to attract dynamax pokémon in the dens). The game was a little easy but you can definitely challenge yourself if you avoid the wild zone and just play like you would in any other pokémon game, I got so over levelled to the point where i was avoiding trainers. Spoilers ahead: The story was pretty good, You take part in the "gym challenge" with loads of other trainers and compete to battle the champion, If you succeed and beat the champion you become the champion (just like other games) Instead of it just being you and your rival doing the gyms, it's lots of other people, you meet some of these other characters during the gym challenge, Like bede who was "endorsed" by the chairman and thinks he's more important than you, and eventually gets disqualified, but becomes a gym leader later in the game and battles you during the finals. You can't trade pokémon from previous games which is a bit of a shame for some people, Personally i don't mind since i prefer to use the pokémon that were actually in the game anyways. I could go on, but i don't have the time, I give this game a 9/10, It was very good and there were very few issues with it.

Aunque he comprado la versión inglesa, muy contento con la compra. Como es multilenguaje lo he configurado al español y sin problemas. Buenos gráficos y buen entramado en el juego.

Really good game mechanics. Love the region. A little bit too easy to level up Pokémon but that is expected from Nintendo Pokémon games.

Gizala'dan aldım. Oyun jelatinli, sağlam&özenli paketlenmiş ve hızlı geldi. Minik hediye için de teşekkür ederim :)

Received the product as mentioned. It was brand new and the European (PAL) version — which shouldn’t matter for anyone purchasing this as the game Itself (including ALL switch titles are region free) works fine on my American Switch. Furthermore, I was able to access content that requires a save file of Pokémon Let’s go Eevee/Pikachu without a problem (Note: my copy of let’s go is American for reference) so don’t be afraid to buy this! Also, would 100% recommend buying from this seller as I plan on buying more from them. Thank you and have a great day!
