Controller

I love Pokémon go but it would be much better if it was compatible with controllers

5 stars

One of the best Pokémon games out there highly recommend

Pokémon

It is so fun it makes me want to play everyday

Rocket balloons

Bring back the rocket balloons and quit being such a cash grab with link charges plus remotes.

Latest patch is broken

Game is fun but the development is lacking needed QA before pushing new updates to the App Store, or at least give players the option to reinstall an older patch until the new one is stable. Each patch removes or breaks features that previously worked. There’s about a 10% chance your game will successfully load with all features since the latest update; there’s a much higher chance you’ll load without tags, without buddy history, or with missing textures. Scopely, please invest in appropriate SDLC controls and a QA team that isn’t just an LLM.
