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.

    This is a mix of pokemon yellow and pokemon go. if you want a classic feel, pass, but if your just a fan of any and all pokemon games, it makes a good addition and it comes with a sweet bonus!

    It is a very simple Pokemon simulator. The capturing is very similar to Pokemon Go. My niece is a big Pokemon fan but prefers to play the Gameboy games to this one. The game feels a little bare bones with the very limited pokemon available.

    Love the Pokemon encounters. Prefer it over the random encounters. Dislike everything else though honestly. Too easy. But I'm probably not the target audience with this game either

    I can't say my son played this very much even though he wanted it. It didn't seem very fun or that there was much to do. Waste of money for me but others may like it.
