### 3/5 — not very good, not very bad

*2026-08-07, version 1.2*

it make no sense. When I literally don't press a button, it just brings me to somewhere

### 4/5 — Got a problem

*2026-06-24, version 1.2*

Good game but for gods sake can someone tell that girl to shut up?? Talking abt some “THE EGG IS CRACKING!!!” Every 5 seconds while im trying to do stuff. Boutta punch her right in the face and give her food poisoning if she keeps up

But at least smeargle is in it. Though the smeargle in this game is strangely zesty for some reason. Support him though #happypridemonth

### 4/5 — Legal

*2026-05-23*

Muito legal mas poderiam colocar outros Pokémon quando a gente zerar.

### 4/5 — Girl

*2026-05-10, version 1.2*

Okay, this game is great, but I don’t like that girl

### 3/5 — Like but not anymore no updates equal no fun

*2026-05-07, version 1.2*

My son likes it. He sometimes asks me to play with them in this game, but I think I know the reason why he deleted it. There was no updates that’s mean he got bored. Can you please add generation nine

### 2/5 — Need evolutions

*2026-03-27, version 1.2*

The game is fun but it really doesn’t have evolutions and the same Pokémon chance is 1 out of 10

### 5/5 — This is my childhood

*2026-02-22, version 1.2*

Being a little girl who was OBSESSED with Pokémon this was the game to play, and still at my age is

### 5/5 — I think it’s great👍

*2026-01-08, version 1.2*

I think it’s a great game. I know I’m 10 and it’s for young kids, but I think it’s a great game. I love Pokémon. I am obsessed and I think it’s one of the most perfect games for me not just Pokémon UNITE.

### 5/5 — Hi again

*2026-01-05, version 1.2*

I’m 9 now, but I remember playing this ADDICTIVELY as a little kid. Have fun playing!

### 4/5 — It’s a good game

*2025-12-23, version 1.2*

I like it, games, Pokémon, and games. Succeeds all the time in entertaining me and I enjoy hatching new cute or not Pokémon. Playground and music game are overall my favorites out of all of them. Healthcare game is also pretty engaging too. Puzzle game offers just enough, decent. The flashlight find game is one of the “better” ones. Berry conveyor is okay. Stories are great if you ask me. Anyway….

We need new updates

The developer has not updated this game for many years now and it’s been tottaly abandoned. I’m so disappointed because I really love this game and I just want to see it grow. You really let me down. A lot of the other reviews relate to this so…

Update

### 1/5 — What the Hell???

*2026-03-07, version 1.2*

What kind of Pokémon game doesn’t involve catching Pokémon?!? It doesn’t even include battling, which is, like, one of the ONLY REASONS that people play Pokémon games. I’d give this negative stars if I could. DO BETTER. — Chai

*2025-09-23, version 1.2*

### 5/5 — Pokémon playhouse request

*2026-05-09, version 1.2*

Your game is perfect for me, because it puts dopamine in my brain, and makes me feel happy. But, there’s one thing that I want to ask you, can you add some more Pokémon?
Like litleo, smoochum, Emolga, floette, noibat, gulpin, sobble,
Morpeko, pancham, jigglypuff,
Horsea, etc. 
thank you.

### 5/5 — very good for children

*2026-04-26, version 1.2*

my niece can’t stop playing :)

### 5/5 — A great introduction for younger fans!

*2026-02-26, version 1.2*

I’m a pre-teen and I found this game adorable! My favorite activity is the grooming game. I will definitely show my 3 year old friend this game. It may be a little limited in things to do, but it has no adds, no in-app purchases, and you don’t need WiFi to play! Out of all the children’s games I’ve played so far, this one takes the cake!
