Pokemon Shield - Nintendo Switch

What can I say? It's pokemon!Before I start fanboying it needs to be said that this pokemon isn't like it's predecessors. It's easier, in fact I can't remember struggling at all. You gian xp to all your pokemon upon defeating or capturing a pokemon (you read that right, capturing now gives xp to your pokemon). There is also a very linear feel, even more so than the originals yet don't let this dissuade you too much, because the game is without a doubt a very enjoyable.There's a new battle mechanic called dynamaxing which will have a big impact on your battles, seeing pokemon in 3d is something that never gets old, they even brought out new archetypes of previous pokemon known as galarian forms. You can cook food, camp and play with your pokemon, customise your clothes, laugh at the attempt of doing the London accent, you can even see your friend in the wild zone if your both there!I could write an insane in depth review listing all the great features, but that would make for a very long read. If you liked any previous pokemon titles, I suspect you'll like this one too. Grab it, play it and become a pokemon master.

Completed 4-5 gyms challenges so far. I was very sceptical about the Dynamaxing but it is actually visually brilliant and exciting (if not much of a gameplay/tactical necessity to a veteran Pokémon trainer).The graphics, controls, areas, designs, Pokémon themselves, animations are all staggeringly beautiful and such a distance from my first experiences with Pokémon Yellow 20+ years ago (still love the originals too though!).The only critique I have is that the team XP sharing makes the game quite easy for a veteran Pokémon trainer like myself. It would have been good to be able to switch that feature off possibly (although I love that the battling Pokémon gets experience for helping capture Pokémon which makes sense and is about time!)The story so far is quite understated and has taken a bit of a backseat which is not a problem provided it heats up later. I'm loving the gym challenges before the main battle too!

I love the parcel thank you so much. Thanks again.

Hours of playtime if you want to 100% however if you want to get to 100% on this game you will have to spend a lot of time grinding as with all pokemon games.I found this game to be a revival of what can make pokemon good that was lost in Sun and Moon on the 3DS, this is as the game returns to its roots but makes new advancements in how you can play the game and why you play the game with the raids and only feature.Although I have found the story to be a bit too quick and lacking in most part to the rival gang being a gym leader at one stage I am very much looking forward to the DLC that is due to be released for this game.Overall I would recommend this game to anyone who is looking to make a fine addition to their switch game library.

Overall decent game, certainly not the worst in the core series but it's not the best.The setting is great, so are a lot of the new Pokémon and the raid battles/dynamax feature. The wild area is massive and lots of fun to explore, you can even see other players if connected to the internet. Character customisation is the best it's ever been in any main series Pokémon game.Unfortunately a lot of older Pokémon were removed from these games along with the GTS feature that's been in the games since Diamond/Pearl. Not much of a post-game either. Still no battle frontier.Wanted a new eeveelution... Didn't get one.Still got my Sylveon though.Definitely give these games a try.

A cracking game to play

While doing our government regulated hours exercise, my kids and I have rekindled our love for Pokemon Go so my daughter has developed a new love for the adorable little critters. Bought this as I remember sinking hours into Red and Blue back in the day and wanted to introduce her to a "proper" Pokemon game and it's definitely done the trick, it's a brilliant game and we love the fact you can actually see the Pokemon I the world so you know exactly which ones to hunt for. Only problem I have now is stopping myself from playing while she's in bed! Highly recommended for parents of Pokemon mad young ones

Wow, what a fantastic addition to the main pokemon games.Highly recommend for any pokemon fan, a game designed to be enjoyed by newbies and veterans.A world which can freely explored, beautiful graphics which captures an obvious portrayal of Great Britain.New Pokèmon are featured in this release, generation 8, featuring a large roster of insightful characters, as well as galarian versions of original characters.Although, all games come with their flaws...Unfortunately there is not a full national pokedex, which I understand would dissapoint some Pokè veterans. The game also aims more towards younger children, with a very tutorial heavy beginning, not as much freedom throughout the game as I hoped for, and very easy fights.There was some connection problems when the game was first released but I assume this was just necause the serverd were a bit overwhelmed. This does not seem to be a problem anymore.Despite this, I have really enjoyed this game and look forward fo future releases and coming back to complete this game again at some point.Highly recommend.

O jogo chegou bem antes do prazo previsto. Bem embalado, lacrado. O game funciona perfeitamente. Podem comprar sem medo.

Muy buen juego, llego en óptimas condiciones y sellado.

Alles Super

Regalo de reyes para una niña de 9 años que ya tenía el juego Evee go! Y fan de Pokémon, la encantó el juego.Es de buena calidad y buenos gráficos. Merece la pena el precio.

I might be in the minority here, but I love this game! Pokemon Shield is definitely great fun, and the story is easily the most well written Pokémon game since the Black and White series (sorry to X/Y and S/M/US/UM, but y'all were not that thought out. Still enjoyed you though!). I don't think it's the BEST Pokémon game (thats either Platinum or B/W) but it's definitely more good than bad.I won't write a pros and cons list because it's a game, but if you're someone like me, who gets invested in the game's story, then you can go for this game with your eyes closed.I don't like Swordward and Shieldbert though. Ugh. Annoying characters.
