Full of bots and toxicity
Player base is super toxic and game is cramped with bots to balance out their player base used to be better now I guess it’s just profit I honestly only played for about half a hour and I’m finding myself uninstalling it and not playing again for months 1star for messing up the game it used to be a 10
Used to love this game but..

Stupid developer

Money grabbers. DO NOT DOWNLOAD UNLESS YOU WANT TO PAY REAL MONEY
The fact they changed it so that you pretty much can only get new Pokemon by paying is ridiculous. The system they had before hand was perfectly balanced. You had to grind to get Aeros coins which then allowed you to purchase whatever pokemon you wanted. Also whenever they first dropped a new pokemon you did essentially have to buy it but eventually you could use Aeros coins… the fact Aeros coins are essentially useless now is tragic… come on. This company makes way too much money to be pulling stunts like this. So disappointing to see. DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS GAME. You will find yourself only saddened by the fact you can’t use some of the coolest pokemon in the game… unless you’re willing to fork over REAL money
Trash
This game blatantly throttles your characters movement speed when trying to force a loss on you. I have verified proof. When someone is running full speed items and you’re being ran down by bulky mons that DO NOT move like that. It’s painfully obvious you purposefully shift the mechanics in the favor of specific outcomes. Quite literally pathetic and shows how incredibly desperate they are to keep players around. Going back to League. Fake copy cat.
Horrible Matchmaking
This game is TRASH. Matchmaking somehow always finds the WORST teammates and the most legendary, skilled opponents. When you think it can’t get any worse, they’ll put you in a foreign server… Why am I fighting teams in Asia???? It makes the games laggy and somehow, me and my teammates are the only players the lagging seems to affect… Please just get rid of the entire game and start all over.
Pls pls JUST LET ME PLAY THE GAME MAN
PLS JUST LET ME PLAY THE GAME IM VERY SAD AND ANGRY BECAUSE I TRY TO ENTER THE GAME AND IS SAYS tRy LaTeR BUT I HAVE MY INTERNET ON so maybe SOMONE STUPID IS NOT LETING ME I SO I VERY HATE YOU AND THIS GAME IM SORRY BUT I CANT PLAY THE GAME SO IF YOU DONT WANT ME TO PLAY THE GAME IN PEACE I WILL HATE YOU AND THIS COMPANY FOREVER 😡

Horrible don’t download
It’s horrible all anyone does it run and 1v3 you it’s horrible don’t play if you like your sanity
Cash grab
This game USED to be my favorite. Up until they removed buying pokemon with aeo coins. And they copied brawl stars with the trophy road so they made progression so much WORSE. It’s safe to say i’ll be quitting this awful money hungry game.
Worst update
Nintendo you make the game even worse
The Game is Speeding Downhill
You need to listen to the playerbase and fix the ranked system, make licenses open to any Pokemon on each level, have better tutorials and a lot of other things. Reddit, YouTube and many other media sites will tell you that this game is shooting itself in the foot.
Comfey Players are the WORST!!
Remove the Pokemon Comfey, they’re the reason there are so many bots and player who just spam and troll. This game was so much better without Comfey.
Tired
I am so sick and tired of doing so good 3/4 of the game and I get punished if the loser team that can’t keep up all of a sudden gets a handout. I get it if you feel bad but it’s ranked matches. Booo hooo but you give them an open hand like a if you give a mouse a cookie. Just know this game unless you have a squad they don’t give a damn if you win
Fun game but all bots
Every game is bots….. Game is fun. So far I have a 100% win rate and destroy every team I play like nothing. I don’t consider myself a master player, but every single person I’ve been matched against is literally terrible on my team and the other team. I don’t know if they’re real players or robots but I have yet to see one good player so I’m not even sure if I’m playing against real people. I like games that are challenging. I also like games that I’m good at but so far I have zero challenge and no one could beat me and I’ve played like 30 games. I don’t know what’s going on. Also, the number one win ranked Person has won 1700 games in a row which that kind of seems a little odd to me? I like playing this game, but I’m not gonna play it if I’m never gonna have a challenge. I also cannot find how to join a clan or play with other players.
Faker
This Pokemon app is obviously copying brawl stars top down view and ui.
Great game. The bots destroy it
The game is amazing. I grew up on Pokémon. BUT it gets absolutely infuriating when you try 10-20 timess IN A ROW to play a game either in casual or even ranked and every single party is just mindless bots that destroy any inkling of strategic interest and equates the game to playing against a 2 year old in checkers. IF I WANTED TO PLAY AGAINST BOTS, I WOULD CHOOSE THE SOLO BATTLE. TURN THE BOTS OFF ON MATCHMAKING. THANK YOU.
Bruh
It won’t let me use pokemon unite
Garbage
Absolute WORST matchmaking system I’ve ever seen in a game. Nothing but bots and cheaters. Too many opponents go down ONE lane when there’s only 2 Pokémon on either lane. Absolute trash.
No Controller support
Wish it had controller support it’s a wasted opportunity
Fell off Hard
This game’s predatory monetization is too much. They remove 2nd moves, but then add them AGAIN but you have to pay for it this time. The unite license journey is sluggish and takes genuinely forever. Changes do not reflect community sentiment and very detached.
A tribute to I can’t buy pokemon with coins anymore?
Honestly, this is a great way to have fun online and offline BUT don’t get it you have to get aeos gems with money or play 1,000,000 unit battles for license points. Go get the trashed aeos coins so PLEASE Pokemon company bring us back to December 3rd!!! Make your game popular again… it must be done by June 30th!!! You already get enough money from the Nintendo games that are already 60 dollars, with people buying them at least 55 times a day! Mostly fun game but still don’t get it!
