The easy part is that I can 1 shot bulbisaur with charzard. But WHERES THE FRIEND OPTION!!!!!!! ### 4/5 — Could really use a content update *2026-07-17, version 1.17.0* The game is fun and easy, but having only gens 1-7 is limiting the potential. Adding gens 8 and 9 may revive the game ### 2/5 — ゲーム自体は面白いのに… *2026-06-21, version 1.17.0* ゲーム自体は面白いのにサポートがカス ビクティニの経験値大量イベントにて、ポケモンを選択して決定した瞬間にクラッシュレポート流れてアプリが強制終了しました。 再度ログインし直したところプレイ扱いになっており、それをサポートに問い合せたところ、プレイした記録が残ってるからロックされた、そういう仕様だと。 クラッシュレポートの画像まで乗っけて返信したのに無視。 最悪な対応です。 ポケとるはアイテムを使うかこういう経験値大量イベントを主軸にポケモンのレベルをあげないといけないので、こういうことがあるのは如何なものかと思います。 クラッシュは定期的に起こるので、その度にプレイ扱いにされるのは本当に腹が立ちます。 ### 5/5 — Wish there were more Pokémon *2026-06-11, version 1.17.0* Since you guys are still updating the game, could you please add Pokémon from Galar, Hisui, and Paldea? Sucks that there’s only Pokémon up to Alola ### 5/5 — Envío vidas🖖🏽 *2026-06-11, version 1.17.0* Código amigo: CGZMXNN3 ### 3/5 — Mantenimiento excesivo *2026-06-10, version 1.14.0* Más de 1 día de mantenimiento, no he podido jugar ### 3/5 — Amazing *2026-06-10, version 1.14.0* The game is great and a good bit of my childhood but man the IT behind the game are really slow and unprofessional. Maintenance lasts several days at a time and it’s just excessive and ridiculous. ### 5/5 — Please fix the app!!! *2026-06-10, version 1.14.0* Love this game but it hasn’t been working! Pleaseeee ### 5/5 — Nueva actualización *2026-06-09, version 1.14.0* Deberían añadir más actualizaciones con pokemon recientes y ahora con la nueva generación también! Amo este juego ### 5/5 — Futuro *2026-06-04, version 1.14.0* Tiene mucho potencial, hasta para hacer un pvp tipo tetris lanzándose bloques de piedra o algo, si lo piensan tenían botado un juego que voy en día puede ser hasta competitivo. ### 5/5 — Dude! *2026-05-30, version 1.14.0* This takes me back so many memories ### 5/5 — I played the full game *2026-05-15, version 1.14.0* I played the full game on 3ds & xl and this is amazing ### 4/5 — Update please *2026-05-13, version 1.14.0* The game is super fun however with gen 7 being the last Pokemon in the game I feel like they can add more Pokemon from 8 and 9 plus the legend ZA mega evolutions ### 3/5 — Fun but Pokemon catching feels rigged *2026-05-08, version 1.14.0* Kind of feels rigged and forces you to “gamble” and you can get perfect scores and still not capture the Pokemon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful Game *2026-08-16, version 1.17.0* Yet another stupid game that’s nothing but a money-grab. ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND *2026-07-28, version 1.17.0* Their quest instructions are unclear, and sometimes the quest don’t even complete even when you do what they say. The heart system is trash too. So unless you wanna waste your time, don’t download this. ### 1/5 — I don’t have fun with it *2026-07-20, version 1.17.0* It is not a good game ### 1/5 — Good mechanics, but greedy design *2026-06-27, version 1.17.0* After 150 levels you cannot play the game anymore. The levels are full of insane difficulty that forces you to buy tons of item to pass. You have to buy items to catch a new pokemon, to finish a quest to get a mega stone and to join in special events which is stupid. I decided to spend all the remaining gold on the stupid Venusaur mega stone quest and uninstall the game as they want. Go play other match 3 games at least they let you play something daily and entertain for at least 1000 levels before paying gate. ### 1/5 — Rien pour les utilisateurs *2026-06-11, version 1.17.0* Je suis un joueur quotidien, cette semaine nous avons « subis » une maintenance de 48 heures. Devinez quoi ? Leur grande bonté nous on donné QUEDAL ### 1/5 — How to register *2026-03-08* How ### 1/5 — Clearly Pay to Play *2026-01-24, version 1.14.0* It is terrible how the game is designed for it to be a nuisance if you don’t buy diamonds. I forgot why I stopped playing when it came out but was reminded very fast. ### 1/5 — Pay to win *2026-01-17, version 1.14.0* Lot of levels are forced to pay to complete. ### 1/5 — Content update *2025-12-20, version 1.14.0* I love this game, but you really let yourselves down by not going past alola. We need the new Megas from ZA too. Great game but needs the recent stuff ### 1/5 — Garbage *2025-11-18, version 1.14.0* This game isn’t “challenging.” Its a load of garbage. You won’t beat most of the Pokemon that they present. Let alone catch them. You’ll generally fail trying to catch them with a poke ball. So, they will want you to spend gold, which is ridiculously hard to acquire, on buying great balls. Guess what, spend all you want. They will still flee and your gold is gone. Most unfair algorithm you will encounter in any “play for free” game. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best Pokemon Puzzle Game on Phones *2026-08-18, version 1.17.0* This is the best and most enjoyable Pokémon puzzle on phones. ### 5/5 — This game is peak *2026-08-06, version 1.17.0* I love this game bro it’s just amazing no more needs to be said ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-07-20, version 1.17.0* Muy buen juego para pasar el rato y gratis ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-07-14, version 1.17.0* I wish thy would update with new Pokemon ### 5/5 — pokmon *2026-06-30, version 1.17.0* 🥹 ### 5/5 — Love the shuffle! *2026-06-20, version 1.17.0* Been playing this game for years, I love it! I’m so glad it’s still going and available for me to play. ### 5/5 — やりごたえ抜群 *2026-06-19, version 1.17.0* かなり頭使います。 ポケモンが大好きで日常でも頭使ってポケモン関係で気軽に遊べるものを探していましたが11年前ほどだったかな？？の3DSでなんかあった気がするって思ってスマホ版であるかもしれないって望みを託して探してダンロードしたのがきっかけです。 十字、L字、逆L字、｢字、T字、⊥字、横、縦などの消し方＋α（落ちてくるポケモンの配列の計算）でコンボを重ねてスコアを伸ばしつつ、攻撃していく楽しさがたまりません✨️ そして何よりメガシンカのナイトをかけてランキング戦っていうのがまたあついポイントでもあります。 たくさんの人とスコアを競い合い、自分を高めつつ、欲しい報酬のために努力し得るという爽快感、気づいた時には時間が経ちすぎててびっくりすることが多々あります笑 こんな面白いゲームをスマホでもできるなんて感謝しかないです🙏´- ### 5/5 — Always fun *2026-06-17, version 1.17.0* When i saw there was an update happening, i was really hoping for the game to continue on once more ### 5/5 — W *2026-06-15, version 1.17.0* W ### 5/5 — Long grind *2026-06-11, version 1.17.0* Started in 2018 when the updates stopped. Went hard for 2019-2020 to finish everything. Now just play daily for the bonus daily items. Almost half of the pokemon have maxed exp.
