Maxing Out The Pokémon Formula

Throughout the history of the Pokémon franchise, each entry has introduced incremental new features and experimented with new mechanics to support your primary goal: traveling the world in search of the rarest and most powerful creatures. Pokémon Sword & Shield carry on this tradition, debuting a new wide-open area and supersized Pokémon in battles, without sacrificing the elements that made the series such a hit in the first place. While not every aspect of this new generation is perfect, Pokémon Sword & Shield bring several crowd-pleasing elements to deliver an outstanding new installment.

CONCEPT

Introduce a new region and generation of monsters to a home console for the first time in the Pokémon series

GRAPHICS

With big towns and bigger Pokémon, the sense of scale is impressively displayed with crisp graphics. The moves have never looked better, but the animations are still behind the times

SOUND

Sword & Shield’s town themes are among the series’ best, but the digitized Pokémon cries and lack of voiced lines feels more antiquated with each passing entry

PLAYABILITY

Pokémon continues to be one of the most approachable role-playing series thanks to an easy-to-navigate world, simple turn-based battles, and a friendly difficulty curve

ENTERTAINMENT

The compelling formula of simultaneously building your collections of monsters and gym badges has proven timeless, but the new additions and enhancements show Pokémon isn’t done evolving

REPLAY

Moderately high

Rated 4 out of 5 by Corbin Barrera from The Wild Area is the Best Part With a fun online, a linear story, and interesting mechanics, Pokémon: Sword is one of the okay-est Pokémon games I've ever played. The graphics can be shoddy, the story is simplistic, and the world feels just a little desolate at times. However, the Pokémon catching and training element of the game, and the new addition of the Wild Area have kept me hooked on it despite its shortcomings.

Will this be compatible with the Switch Lite?

Asked by: King Exodia

Yes. The game should be compatible. I doubt Nintendo would make the Switch Lite not able to play this game.

Is it 2 player 

Asked by: Hihih17

Not exactly? The game is largely single player, but there are events like battles/trades/raids that can be completed as a multiplayer setting as long as there are two consoles. The switch changes up this game a little because now you can have multiple save files by using different accounts on a single switch. A feature previously unavailable in past Pokémon games. So while two people couldn’t play at once on the same device, two people can play the same game by taking turns by utilizing multiple switch accounts.

Do you need a Switch Subscription To play the game or some of the parts of the game

Asked by: Joseph Publicover

Hi Joseph! From what we can tell, you will need a Switch Online subscription to play some optional parts of the game, like Max Raid Battles online, trade online, battling online, things of the such. However, even if the subscription is cheap, you don't need it to do Max Raid Battles, as from what I remember, they will just have placeholder CPU trainers. Hope this helped!

Why is this game receiving fake 5 star reviews? It makes it hard to get clear opinions on the game when it gets clogged with "IT'S THE BEST GAME EVAR DON'T LISTEN TO HATORS >>>::((((!!!!1!!1!"
