    Same game, different style

    This is a slightly different version of a Pokemon game. The basics are all the same, explore catch and evolve pokemon, battle for gym badges. There are a ton of new pokemon. The “open” world concept is really only partially true as you cant go to certain areas too quickly as the pokemon in that area will be too tough.

    Joke of a game and joke of a company that need to re-evaluate their life choices. They are Billionaires with a capital B made of tiny dollar signs and that isn't enough for them. They are trying to ruin the world of gaming for their own greed and petty power struggles. Also stop making stupid looking pokemon. Hire some people with actual imaginations.

    It has the classic fun and typical game of Pokemon. People are right in that there are a few glitches when playing. However if you are playing on the offline mode it is not too bad. Eventually there will be more updates to make the gameplay smoother.

    Plagued by performance issues and weird sound problems, the game itself is alright at best. Somehow it seems that with every new mainline Pokémon game, they make the game easier for new audiences. The challenge really isn’t there anymore and unfortunately the IP is another victim of greed.

    Very colorful characters; the game engages the player(s)-player(s) look forward to battle, conquer, and or catch Pokemon! My 9 & 7 year old kiddos loved it. I do like it too. Kiddos can also play with their cousins and friends (using their account) via the internet. It’s a fun game for the family!
