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.

    This game was a huge hype for my kids. After playing it for a few hours for a couple of days, they gave up on the game to go play the Pokémon Go App. I didn’t mind it as much, but I think this game should be at the 20-30 dollar range for what it’s worth.

    Feels like pokemon, plays like pokemon, but does not have the battling combat only when going against trainers and legendaries.

    No clear direction on how to get the game started or how to play 2 players. Make sure you look online before you get frustrated.

    I have played a few of the Pokemon games in the past and while this one is simplified it is still really fun. I really enjoy being able to see the Pokemon out in the wild makes the world feel more alive.

    Its nostalgic since I've played the previous versions on gameboy and DS, but.....really, it had a lot more potential being on a more powerful system. Also, there's no tension between the archnemesis and Ash. Maybe developers are trying to make the game more docile for little kids. I'm not feeling inclined to finish the game at the moment.
