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

I’ve been a fan of Pokémon since the beginning, although I haven’t followed the games or series since Gen 4. Great game to get you back into the spirit of Pokémon. However, since I’ve been playing this game for a year I’ve noticed some things. The game is fluid meaning there’s constant updates with new additions; however, playing the game since the beginning, not all of these new features or events are appealing, some are quite simplistic and fun to grind for items, other times the event or mission appear to be too difficult. Legendary events, elite 4 and leveling your Pokémon to 125 is quite difficult and takes the right set of skills and luck to achieve. This aspect makes the game worth it for me. Although, here are the flaws that I noticed or aspects that need improvement: Player and Torchic doesn’t evolve into Blaziken, egg level up items are too few compared to the egg Pokémon that exist for these items, sync orb system has been down since October and cannot use my 15,000+ sync orbs, skip tickets are absolutely pointless. The game gives you roughly 25/day even with the free 200 daily stamina on top of my current energy of 188, I can only use 19 skip tickets a day. Currently have 1000+ and this number only grows and not shrinks. Developers need to make adjustments all around and send out more surveys asking players what they want fixed/improved upon/removed to keep players wanting to come back.

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.

This is the most fun game that I have on my phone, and I wouldn’t want it any different. Well... besides this one teeny weeny suggestion that’s been driving me nuts and that I need to share: Please add an interlude or chapter where your character gets a mega bracelet for the Kanto starter that they chose from the egg (or any Pokémon that can mega evolve that you receive from an egg). Please, this would add so much more fun to the game, especially considering the fact that my Charizard has a center spot on my team as the ace with its fire blast. If this gets taken into suggestion, thank you in advance.Update: I have an even better idea! Make it to where there’s another legendary event where the legendary Pokémon is yours, similar to Solgaleo, but with Xerneas and Yveltal. Only here’s the gag: You only get to choose one, and one only, even when the event would re-run. I mean, Lysandre with Xerneas or Yveltal doesn’t really make sense to me. I think if he gets added then he should have gyarados that can trigger mega evolution as part of its sync move, and since Calum and Serena have already been added with their “aces”, so I really think you should take this into consideration. You can completely scratch the upper idea that I had in order to do this one, because I would much more prefer this. Thank you so much in advance (if this ever gets read)!
