I was worried that this game was going to be over simplified and dumbed-down for the Pokemon Go crowd. But as someone who has never played pokemon go I can certainly say that this is by no means a bad game. Sure it is not as intense and in depth as previous entries, but the fact that it is on the switch (mobile or home console) makes it convenient to play and the change from random wild pokemon encounters is a good change of pace. I won't say I love the game, but it is a nice game to spend time in and catch all 150 pokemon.
