Are any of the Switch Pokemon games worth your time? Can you play them even if you don't like Pokemon? Which game is suited to hardcore gamers? Which games are suitable for younger gamers? These five games are all vastly different. I'll break them down for you in this video. They are Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu, Let's Go Eevee, Shining Pearl, Brilliant Diamond, Sword, Shield, Legends Arceus and Pokémon Scarlet and Violet.

    Thank you for not complaining about the games throughout the whole video. I can actually respect your opinion even if I don’t 100% agree with all of it.
  • Thanks for making up my mind for me! Arceus it is. Coming back to Pokemon as an adult, this will be the first one I buy since the Gameboy days
  • @lorranaalves6246
    Thank you for sharing your opinions, it actually helped to clear my mind about my next pokémon game. Since I already played Pokémon Let's Go Eevee and Legends Arceus my next step will be in Galar region.

    Thank you so much for this video, while looking at pokemon games on the switch i was overwhelmed by all my options since i havent played pokemon sonce red and blue lol. I had no idea what the differences were so thank you so much for this
  • @friedrice7
    Excellent summary of each game. It really helped me understand which game to get for my dive into my first switch pokemon game

    Loved hearing your thoughts on all these games! I think I would generally rank them how you did, except I’d switch around Scarlett/Violet with Let’s Go just because I really felt like I was on an adventure with my Pokémon in Scarlet, like being able to use the Let’s Go feature and explore anywhere I wanted really was a breath of fresh air after Sword/Shield, which was fun but other than the wild area made me feel like just checking mostly disappointing towns off a list, not going on an adventure. Let’s Go was also incredible for someone like me who grew up with the anime and original games, but it understandably didn’t give me that same sense of adventure that really did it for me in Scarlett. But NOTHING compares to Arceus, which was straight up a dream come true to play through. I would love to hear your thoughts on gen 9 Pokémon in general, especially because there were a lot of really interesting designs this gen—Arboliva is my favorite 🫒❤️
  • Thanks for this, Elio! I just bought a Switch and I was confused as to which game I should buy first. Been watchig reviews and I'm surprised by how low ranked Sw/Sh are. I was really excited to get one of them but I'm in two minds now 😅 Been playing Pokemon for 2 decades, so I still think I'll go with Sword for the experience. After that, Legends Arceus! Loved your video btw!

    Thank you so much for going through these. On Legends Arceus 4 hours in, looking to buy violet next - bike looks cool
  • @javarice1
    Thank you for this honest review. Now I'm decided to go for Arceus. Hope to see you more for next reviews :)
  • @Sarah-Dub
    Thank you for making this video! ❤ I'm brand new to the switch and video games in general, so I've been having trouble deciding what to get! This is great! I've heard wonderful things about Legends Arceus ✨️
  • @quinaquen298
    As much as I enjoy Scarlet/Violet they are buggy messes. I am curious if that will change with the dlc.
  • @radiocontrole
    Thanks for the tips! As an old schooler pokemon fan Let´s go seemed the most fun, i´m gonna go for it!
  • @BachZennett
    Thanks for the recommendations! I wanna try Arceus after watching your video
  • @RyanUtd
    Thank you mate for making this video, so helpful for me to decide play pokemon game on switch, i think i'll start with Pokemon Sword/Shield 🙌🔥
  • @sonicdyer
    Him laughing when talking about scarlett 😭😭
  • @pmac206
    I like the sword, the best, but I would put Violet as a close second even with the bugs . Sure it has aggressive pop in but I feel like every Nintendo game has pop in.
