Ratings and reviews

it was the best thing in the world in 2016. but for a game that needs to update every time I open it, it sure hasn't improved a lot. theres been some additions and changes. but overall the game is still basic. all thr small things like animations between screens that take forever and unresponsive notifications or taps in general, etc. tons. those small things have driven me crazy for the past 6 years. and not a single uodate to make things more efficient and smooth. seems like a cash grab now.

I've been playing since it came out and I only have a few minor problems, mainly the lagging! It isn't horrible for the most part but if your phone isn't top notch the game can barely run at all. I also really wish there were a gender-neutral model for the player. Having to pick between a stereotypical beefy-ish Shonen guy with spikey hair or basic girl with a ponytail is extremely tiring and the models start looking uglier the longer you stare. At the very least more hairstyles would be nice.

Its a reasonably entertaining game, though your extremely ablist and discriminatory practices make it difficult and frustrating for a chronically ill person with limited mobility to take part. I get that the game is about going places - great! But when I get there, don't force me to take part in battles. And ffs will you stop with the forced updates already? The last six times I have attempted to play, I had to install a new update - and was done with my walk by the time it finished.
