Ratings and reviews

Have played this game since the day it came out with many highs and lows over the years. But this has become one of the most frustrating periods! I have not been able to play in over a month! The game litterally freezes within 2 seconds of loading. You CAN'T play! There was ONE day in the last 30 that it played no problem and then that night it froze again and has ever since. I've seen so many complaints about it and hope they fix it soon otherwise they will lose countless players forever.

As a long time pokemon fan, the game really is fun and a great way to encourage exercise and exploration. However, it's got a lot of limitations that I wish I could see improvement on-- specifically, scheduling. Many events last only an hour, and all events are exclusively during the day. This may not be an issue for most people, but sadly I work the graveyard shift and sleep during the day, so if I want to participate in raids, community days, or highlight hours, I have to forgo sleep.

As immersive as you allow it to be. The framework of the game is very outdated, but it gets the job done. Still a lot to be desired (better achievement system would be a great start), but I'm afraid a new game would have to be created to get a much better experience. Addictive, gets you out, gets you walking/running, and there are people playing it almost everywhere if you want to socialize. Amazing game.
