๐ Pros: Makes you get physically active by walking and exploring; amazing community events; regular updates; F2P-friendly; Collect and trade with friends. During festivities there are certain Pokรฉmon who spawn wearing special event costumes for a limited time. The use of the AR camera gives the Pokรฉmon some life.
๐ Cons: Phone battery draining; Grindy if you want to find a Pokรฉmon with perfect stats, shiny or Stardust; rural players have less chance to encounter Arenas or Pokรฉstops compared to the city players. Certain Pokรฉmon and evolution forms are bound to a certain geographical location
๐ฎ Gameplay: Simple catch Pokรฉmon or spin Pokรฉstops for items in a real life map of your current geographical location. Raids and PvP add depth. Powerspots spawn occasionally where you can catch Dynamax Pokรฉmon in Dynamax Raids. Create routes in real life maps or follow already existing routes. Trade Pokรฉmon with friends.
๐ Storyline: Very simple concept "Catch 'em all".
๐น๏ธ Controls: Tap and swipe.
๐จ Graphics: Dated and Pokรฉmon models are fine. Hint: In the settings you can toggle on the option Native Refresh Rate for smoother and more responsive graphics.
๐ต Sound: The iconic catching sound never gets old and feels rewarding. The Music tune changes during real life daytime/ nighttime cycles.
๐ฅ Multiplayer: Raids and Community Days create real friendships. Remote raids are also an option.
๐ฌ Presentation: Very simply concept.
๐ฐ Value for Money: Enjoyable F2P. Spending can speed things up, but isn't needed.
Bottom line: Still a unique game and experience. One of the few mobile games that been there for years and survived while other games havenโt.
