This game was amazing to play it already sucked me in and was one of the greatest pokemon games on just the main island. The new pokemon and how many of them there were and the spectacular story and graphics. When the DLC came out it just made it 10x better being able to catch legendary's and the story all of it just got better and better.

If you are looking to get a new game or you got the switch recently either way if you don't have this game I defintley recommend buying it.

Great Adventure

As an adult I still love pokemon, and I was super excited to play the latest addition to the franchise, but soon found that as an adult the play through is pretty unchallenging. That being said it's still a pretty fun and nostalgic game for me and I did 100% enjoy the game (and still do), but I'm giving the game 8/10 because I feel that there are a few things that could be improved upon in this day and age: a difficulty mode so that adult players can feel a little more challenged since many fans are adults now, the ability to choose the age of your character, more interaction with other players (like being able to actually play alongside with and interact with your friends), a more 3 dimensional immersive open world (like what we get a taste of in the wild areas), and having your lead pokemon out with you during regular play and not just in the dlc areas. Things I definitely did really enjoy though would include: character customization options, online trades and battles, the pokemon bonding system, the additional dlc content, and the lovable quirky characters that the pokemon franchise is so good at creating. I'd also like to add that the price of this game is a bit ridiculous.

Main story is pretty short but DLC adds many new content and nostalgia for old players.
