Ratings and reviews

Just a bad game. Brings out the worst in people. Creators claim it supports community, but all it does is divide it. And like 8 out of 10 times you go to a gym it gives "gym under construction" error which has been going for months! They keep adding more to it but cannot even fix the most basic functions of the game, like throwing a pokeball...Just horribly managed and then they lie and capitalize on errors they create. Could be such a great game but it's not. Too bad.

It's fun for a while, but it's extremely hard to do above 2-star raids especially if you don't have anybody who also plays the game. It's just not fun not being able to do raids because your Pokémon are too weak, and because of that you miss out on a lot of content. Especially max battles, they are impossible to do, too hard, and not worth it, and the max finale event was awful, you can only get pass XP max battles which was an awful choice, the game takes too long to get good.

While I have some gripes about technical issues here and there, this game has helped me for so long with getting out of bed and leaving the house during depressive episodes. there is very little to motivate me when I'm stuck inside for a long time, and little things like following a route or completing timed research are exactly the push I need to get better when depression starts to crawl in.
