Customers are saying

Customers often highlight the fun and easy gameplay, along with the product's strong overall performance and ease of use, often evoking a sense of nostalgia. Many appreciate it as a fun remake of the original. However, some customers find the game lacks sufficient difficulty, and motion controls can be finicky. There are also criticisms regarding the leveling up process and the new encounter and catching mechanics.

    I liked the updates but hated the capture and not weaken Pokémon, it made leveling difficult. Otherwise fairly good and fun.

    This is what Pokemon Go on mobile devices should have been, minus the need to actually throw the controller. Good game, good motion controls, etc. Would recommend for Pokemon fans.

    I was on the fence on buying this due to the catching changes but after playing it I cant imagine playing the old way. -1 star because you cant play with a pro controller (DUMB).
