I really want to go back and finish this game - but I don't have the patience to deal with the slow nature of each level. Messing up one thing requires you to complete levels all over again, and eventually it came to a point where replaying felt like a chore. I love the visuals of this game though, among the best on the Switch.

Pokemon series junk food. The laughable difficulty makes you feel like you're on a power trip the whole time, and it's great. Excellent Pokemon variety makes repeated playthroughs a lot of fun. I also really like Kalos' design a lot. The OST is great as always.

A Pokemon fighting game is such a genius concept - it sucks this was relegated to a dying Wii U, or it likely would've been more successful and memorable. I was always a big fan of the core fighting mechanics and I remember the online being really good. The single-player story and VA is pitiful, however.

I got this on Switch because there was literally NOTHING else to play at the time

This game requires so much of my time and attention that I simply do not have. I'm sure it's fun after a certain point, but I didn't reach it fast enough for it to capture me like it did to so many others.

I'm still not sure why they decided to fundamentally change the Mario Party formula with the car, but honestly... it's not terrible. 9 still has some really good minigames, and the single player is decent. The car makes each board go a lot faster, which helps with this as well. I liked the boss battle mini-games a lot.

I like Galaxy's moody atmosphere as much as the next guy, but I will always rather come back to 2. It has even more stand-out levels than 1, and the soundtrack is just as iconic (to me, at least). I really can't decide which one is better.

Ugh.

This is the cheapest the series has ever felt. The graphics lack the normal Game Freak/Nintendo polish, and the multitude of glitches on the initial version is frankly inexcusable. However, at its core, Shining Pearl is still a fun game - Sinnoh is always a joy to explore, and the late-game fights were genuinely pretty challenging. I wish that some elements of Platinum were included.

I've come around to this game more over time. The lack of any real challenge, Emerald elements, or Frontier is disappointing, but the graphical improvements, new megas, and DexNav still make me want to replay this game above the originals.

I completed Pokemon Sun with only a Popplio. There are two other required catches; a random mon to enter Po Town, and the Box legendary. There were some challenging fights (Totem Lurantis and Guzma), but otherwise it was fairly simple. I had a lot of fun creating strategies for the run as well.

I wrote most of my actual thoughts about Gen 7 under my Moon journal entry.

I've resigned myself to the fact that I'll never finish this game. I had a fun time just messing around, but its scale is so massive that it's too daunting to jump in nearly 10 years too late.

Trying to complete this game while also in school is incredibly difficult. It requires so much time and attention, and you only have so much.... wait, I think I get Persona 5 now

A welcome surprise on the Switch. The stylistic visuals compliment the more simplistic Mystery Dungeon story. It's a bit easier than the original version, but the streamlined controls and core improvements make this the most approachable game in the series.

DKC: TF is one of Retro's finest works. Everything is extremely polished and the OST doesn't have a single miss. Each level gimmick is utilized for just the right amount of time.

I recently replayed this game on NSO. It's by far one of the most atmospheric 2D platformers I've ever played. I don't know how anyone could play this game without Rewind.
