    Pokémon Quest has some neat ideas but none of them is well-executed. It's a free game so... try it. But it's not definitely a great game by any means.

The game is very addicting and fun at the beginning when you're still figuring things out and everything is new. The novelty wears off quickly though. I know the art style isn't for everyone but I think it's adorable looking. I really do appreciate they tried to go for something new and stylized as opposed to just using those old Pokemon Ranch models they kept reusing for years.

    That's where the positives end for this. It has all the same problems most mobile games have. You have limited energy and end up waiting long periods of time between doing anything that's actually fun. I can't fault the game that much for this since most phone games do this because they don't want you breezing through everything in less than a week but for some reason it feels worse in this game than others. I just feel like I'm ALWAYS waiting as opposed to a mix of waiting and playing. It tries to tempt you with microtransactions but it's not as bad as in most other phone games so that's a plus. Still, I feel like Pokemon, the most successful media franchise on Earth, could have afforded to be ever so slightly more lenient with these or maybe even more creative.

    It's not a horrible game but there's just way better mobile games out there to waste your phone's battery life on and of course, there's way better Pokemon games too.

    it was overall really boring, and more of a waiting simulator.
