5. New Pokemon Snap-

This game came out on April 30th, 2021. You go around the world in a safety pod holding your trusty camera. Your goal in this game is to take really good photos of as much pokemon as you can! There are also special pokemon that illuminate. If you get a photo of one of these, you’ll probably get four platinum stars! (Stars are how your photos are graded.) You can get bronze stars, silver stars, gold stars, and platinum stars! Show people online your best photos!- New Pokemon Snap.

4. Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl-

This game was a remake from Pokemon Diamond & Pearl. This game was released November 21, 2021. I remember the shaymin glitch that let you catch shaymin before the shaymin release. (Shaymin is a rare Pokemon.) The Grand Underground was one of the best parts of the game where you can catch lots of pokemon. But, I’ll never forgive the game for not letting me get glasses!- Pokemon Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl.

3. Pokemon Legends: Arceus-

This was first released on January 28, 2022. The first pokemon game of the series that was open world. You can catch pokemon without battling, and ride all sorts of pokemon. This game takes place in ancient times. This is also the first game where you can move your player during a battle. This game is also the first game where you can catch the rare pokemon, arceus without a code. But, you needed to catch EVERY SINGLE POKEMON to do it. Which Anthony has done. And Craig has ALMOST done it.- Pokemon Legends: Arceus-

2. Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee

The first pokemon games for switch They came out on November 18th, 2018. They were amazing. Taking place in the Kanto region, you were able to ride, catch, and much more with your pokemon friends. One of the best and worst things that was added to the pokemon franchise was the GO park complex. Once arriving in Fuschia City, the GO park complex became available. You would be able to transfer pokemon from Pokemon GO to Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee…. But, you could never get them back in Pokemon GO. It made completing the pokedex a lot easier, but I lost my strongest pokemon in Pokemon GO, Melmettal, when I sent a lot of pokemon to Let’s Go Pikachu & Let’s Go Eevee. Now it lives in Anthony’s Pokemon Sword & Shield game.- Pokemon let’s go Pikachu & Let’s go Eevee.

 Which brings us to NUMBER ONE

1.Pokemon Sword & Pokemon Shield

This game set expectations high. It was released November 15, 2019.With Scorbunny, Sobble & Grookey, you would set off in the brand new Galar region. With the best color and 3D graphics 

The Pokemon Company has made so far. With a whopping 400 Pokemon, it takes dedication to complete the poke-dex. Later, Pokemon released a DLC Expansion pass that let you travel to the Crown Tundra & Isle Of Armor. In the Isle Of Armor, you would train, battle, & bond with your Pokemon. In the Crown Tundra, You would adventure with your Pokemon and catch legendary Pokemon. The Pokemon company made a smart move, letting you be able to catch every single legendary pokemon from all the old games. Your goal at the start is to beat the champion, Leon. Can YOU beat Leon? Try in this amazing game- Pokemon Sword and Shield.

Happy Gaming! - Craig Adkins & Anthony Poust
