I was always in love with Pokémon and this is a fun one to play, especially if you’re only looking for free to play. It’s relatively new and easy to get past the main story but has a lot of features that help you connect with other players and keep it competitive. ### 5/5 — Killing time or just to much fun *2024-10-01* Man I don’t know if I ever had so much fun killing time lol. But seriously this is a super fun game. Like all game you can buy your way to the top or have fun with the daily task and challenges and grown your Pokémon the legit trainer way and battle your way to the ranks. ### 4/5 — Game is cool af *2024-09-30* Game is fun and cool little difficult to get into but can get good stuff without spending money overall good game ### 5/5 — Goood *2024-09-28* Really good game just wish they would make a game that’s not pay to win ### 5/5 — No longer let me on the game *2024-09-28* Every time I go to play it will not load in I even uninstalled and reinstalled as well did not work hope it gets fix soon ### 4/5 — Good game *2024-09-27* Decent game with allot to do and really fun. Stinks its individual servers and nothing can be brought over to a new one But also gives you the chance to try again if unhappy with current run. Codes work across each server so it’s nice to be able to claim rewards on another play threw ### 5/5 — Nostalgic *2024-09-27* It’s pretty fun to battle and collect your favourite team members ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-09-27* Great game, very interesting and a joy to play ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-09-27* Gg great game thanks guys ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2024-09-27* I can’t fault it, really enjoyable game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Overpromised, did not deliver *2024-09-29* Downloaded it due to a promising preview from an IG ad. Looked really good but does not load at all. Tried a few times with no success. -I will change my review if any of the developers reach out and I would be more than happy to retry the game. ### 1/5 — Ptw heavy so far, probably getting kids into gambling *2024-08-07* Games pay to win. Not so free to play friendly. Art not bad. Cross server pvp. I bet the dev. makes a killing if people whale. Surprised no took screenshots of game and discord yet and sent them to you know who though email. Play if you like, stay free to play as you don’t know if this game will be removed like some other games like it. Then it’s a waste. Play it a bit longer but games should give people a way to get free dupes system for character you already own. Playing to see if they have that and see were it goes or leads to. ### 1/5 — Ads are misleading *2024-07-23* Never got my 1000 summons or choice of SSR …. Ads are misleading ### 1/5 — ???? *2024-07-19* Is this suppose to be Pokémon? Why is this a thing? ### 3/5 — A *2024-09-26* Hard to get gem but still good to play ### 3/5 — Not like the ads but *2024-09-18* Overall not a bad game ### 3/5 — For Pokemon lovers *2024-08-29* Has all the usual mechanics these types of games have, slow grind, a million things to invest in for only minor improvements to overall power but the animations for the Pokemon are great and very rarely do you run out of resources so playability is always possible ### 3/5 — Too many female pulls *2024-08-06* Really enjoying this game so far, my only issue is, I did the math and about 90% of my pulls are for females. They definitely need to lower the gender ratio. For example, 150 shards - 3 all females. 200 shards - all 4 females. Even the random pulls are mostly females. Please change the ratio or at least give me the option to change the gender. ### 3/5 — Cool *2024-07-24* Cool game ### 4/5 — Pretty fun game but… *2024-10-13* It’s a fun game but I wish things were so slow so I can keep progressing. Energy takes a while to replenish and disappears fast because you need a lot of energy to move into story but don’t get enough exp to keep progressing in different worlds where it causes you to wait or spend money… I spent too much in the matter of 4 hours of playing this game, which I mean good on them for making it addicting.. just wish it was so expensive for the little bit you get ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Actual Peak. *2024-10-14* Now, I don’t usually write reviews for games, but this game DESERVES a good one. I downloaded this game for a video that I’m gonna make on Pokémon mobile games, and I really wasn’t expecting any of them to be good, but this one is. Pros: The artstyle and animation quality within this game is phenomenal, it feels like I’m on acid every single time they use a special move. The music is Pokemon esque, and immerses you into the setting, giving you a perfect balance. This is one of the first knockoff mobile games that doesn’t force ads and in app purchases into your face every few seconds, and that’s a pro in my book. You can tell that this game has a ton of effort put into it, and so many Pokemon within the game that it feels like you can never 100% the game, which I absolutely love. You can replay this game as many times as you want, and it would still be good. Despite the repetitive gameplay, it still is entertaining and enjoyable Cons Some of the advertisements for this game are misleading Overall, this game is amazing. I’m gonna keep playing this, keep up the good work! 4.9/5 ### 5/5 — Can’t play anymore.. *2024-10-10* Keeps telling me new version comes. Please restart the game. I have killed the app and went back in, I have logged out hand back in, and I have uninstalled and reinstalled… I can’t play it anymore and it was so much fun! ### 5/5 — Very fun game *2024-10-08* A lot of different features and game modes to constantly play while also easy to get in game currency. If you just play it for about a week and get all the cool free stuff it has to offer, you’ll be able to unlock a lot of Pokémon from the draws ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-10-05* Helps pass time ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-10-05* Classic grind and slow progress, but plenty to collect and lots of freebies in quests! ### 5/5 — Very addictive *2024-10-04* Love this so far. Could do with more Pokémon like eevee but otherwise a really addictive game. ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-10-04* The game is not bad. ### 5/5 — Tommie *2024-10-04* I love this game all the Pokémon’s are real not rip offs and you don’t have to pay to progress in this game plus the random Pokémon /items draw makes the game really thrilling ### 5/5 — Good game *2024-10-04* Good game ### 5/5 — Great game *2024-10-04* Really good game.
