Greedy new update
For years, PMEX has been a stellar game, far outperforming its competitors and being one of the most refreshing additions to Pokemon. One of my favorite games, both for its story and character highlights, to its unique gameplay, graphics, and reasonable pricing / free to play model.
The new update for Anni 5 had the potential to be amazing, upgrading old units to be new and relevant again. Instead, they have been released as new units with a new banner, despite having the exact same look bar a slightly different outfit. They’re much more powerful, sure, but not deserving of an entirely separate unit. One you have to pull for separately, one that requires almost 10,000 more gems to pity. No two ways about it, this is greed. I won’t be pulling for those new units, and I won’t spend any more money on this game (I’ve been mostly f2p but have spent around $50 total on the game).
If DeNa wants to make more money, I would have instead suggested lowering the price of paid gems, which are at a pretty expensive rate. I know of many players, including myself, who would be much more willing to buy some gems if they were cheaper and I feel this would actually net the devs more money overall. Instead, they essentially went the opposite direction, so they won’t be getting anything

⚠️ Age Rating Warning ⚠️ PLEASE READ
Not to be rude or mean or anything but the age rating for this game isn’t really correct. After the update that included the ‘Trainer Lodge’ the game has gone from easygoing 4+ to at least 12+ let me explain how - In the trainer lodge you can talk to other characters in-game/computers (not real people) but the way they set it up is a bit messed up, like, instead of it being just chatting like: how are you, or just checking up on them, it’s gone to… ‘Interact’ and the way they made it like that makes it just far out. Another thing is that they literally have items to help you ‘Interact’ and that just makes it a DATING SIM which is not for 4+ The background is also all hearts and stuff which makes it more of a dating simulator. Lastly it should be at least 12+ is the ‘Special talk’ every time you reach a particular level for level in so called friendship for that character you get a special talk with that character and I remember one where there was two options for me - Keep it a secret or tell her - For telling if you had a crush so that’s also so messed up. One bonus thing is that you get images of the character and some of them are messed up. Anyways I hope after this the rating NEEDS to change. ⛔️⛔️⛔️

I can’t load in
I have tried like 50 times to load in but it keeps saying error than kicking me out
It’s good, but there’s definitely room for improvement(Venting)
The only reason I’m giving it 1 star is because UI design team for this app was either fired or they stopped showing up for work back in 2012. The UI is so busy, all the menus look different, there’s so much clutter and it’s very distracting from the overall amazing gaming experience. Like I am not a fly, and you don’t need to grab my attention every time I go to a different screen like “look at the shiny! What’s that shiny thing over there!” It may seem a bit harsh given the great quality of the gaming aspect, but never the less. This app needs a major revamp of its entire UI concept. You have like 50 menus, before you can play or do something interesting. The purpose and the categories of the menus makes no sense at all. You wouldn’t need a tutorial every time you “unlock a new section of the game” if you would of designed it in a more coherent manner. It seems like every time you wanted to add a game mechanic you just piled it on top of what you already had. Every new thing you add to the game just feels like an after thought. “Hey I know how we can make this game more interesting and make more money in the process! Let’s make it more complex, add more information than necessary, make everything difficult to find. And just add more tutorials so people can get frustrated to figure things out” Honestly, the complexity and bloated-ness of this app is what keeps me walking away from this app.

Poor account recovery
Linking to Nintendo ID is pointless as they restrict the save file to Apple ID anyway. If you have to make a new Apple ID as I had to you can’t use your Nintendo ID to recover your save file. It’s really flawed as you don’t have this issue with other games on the App Store where you can recover your progress on a new Apple ID. Customer Support didn’t care to resolve this issue, they were helpless.
The game is just a gambling tactic anyway hidden behind the Pokémon IP and mini games. I feel bad for anyone who has been extorted by the steep costs of gems this game offers. Game started out great on release but they’ve just added so much and used power creep over time to pull people in when really the game has gone down in quality.

THIS IS THE BEST GAME EVERY PLAYED
I say that this game is the best Pokémon game I have a every played. The only thing I want to ask is that could you add like Milo, Kabu, and Opal pls.
Here the thing I really love that you get to talk to the characters that makes me feel happy and comfortable when I feel down or when I feel lonely. This game has inspired me to keep going on my journey to becoming an artist and draw more and more especially drawing some of these characters from Pokémon. I don’t usually play games often but after the first time I had played this game before I deleted and got it back I love how I can meet some new characters, new Pokémon, and new sync pairs and attacks to use. I really do enjoy playing this game twice especially now I got some galar characters like raihan, piers, and nessa. And meeting some new characters that I had never met or knew before makes me happy to know them especially Paulo. I did have some haterd towards Paulo because he sometimes got on my nerves because he doesn’t try but after playing again I actually liked having a rival like Paulo not because he kept giving up because he wanted to get stronger and facing him in the PML arc made me happy and made him a little more challenging then before when we met him. So this is why I really enjoy playing to amazing Pokémon game. Have a great day 😊

Best game yet just one problem
My game always crashes when I try to do most things like leveling up my characters and going on training area and even crashed when I’m fighting, and no matter what i do it’ll just keep crashing it could be I have to much characters but please fix or tell me how to fix it
After playing for after about a year
The game is pretty good the previous issues about levels being hard to obtain are eventually resolved about the third or fourth month of play, they give quite a bit to help you start up right if you fail to use it optimally that’s on the player, legendary battles are hard enough for the vets and there is loads of easy content for the newbies, the story does eventually end but that’s following the series so far. And you get a lot of gems doing story pro tip finish all the story and horde like a dragon until you see a banner you really like one really good Pokémon can make or break in this game. If you are not accustomed to gacha games don’t complain about the gacha knowing it’s a gacha game. They give a decent sum of gems from daily missions and claims as well as weekly and money claims for free and most events give gems somewhere. The only thing the game truly needs is more co op content the gear raid are simply not enough to entertain.
The rest of the game is great, the quirky date sim side also offers exclusive Pokémon and tickets to get to level 150. A lot of the Pokémon have very interesting teamwork dynamics in this game and the same Pokémon is different when with other trainers or personally bred. New players should pay attention to Pokémon’s passive traits and sync grids for tactical edges that could be hidden.

As good as the main series
Pokemas is probably the closest thing you could get to the mainline game experience on a phone. I’ve been playing for about 7 months now and I genuinely adore it. If you’re like me and you’re really invested in the stories the human characters in Pokémon, you’re in luck because that’s the whole focus. You get to collect, battle with, and interact with you’re favorite trainer characters. Everyone gets unique character models and VOICE ACTING!!! I also love how there’s clearly some research going into the dialogue and story arks in the game. Tons of obscure character details are acknowledged and it’s so cool. If you’re more into battling, pokemas has you covered too. Battle mechanics here are a really good translation of mainline battles into the mobile format. It’s a little different, but once you get used to it it can become really technical and fun. There is one thing that is missing though and that’s the catching aspect of Pokémon. But this doesn’t impact the enjoyment of the app at all in my opinion, plus if you really want to just catch Pokémon we already have Pokémon Go to do that. I think my favorite part about pokemas though is the constant flow of new content and rewards. DeNa actually listens to it’s players and takes our feedback very seriously, which is such a refreshing thing to get from this franchise. Overall 9.9/10, super solid game, only negative is that Kalos characters don’t have French accents :’( #StopKalosCultureErasure2023
