    Better than Pokemon Go, enough to quench my thirst till Let's Go(I mean not particularly exciting either). The gameplay mechanics are similar to those used in the core battle system, with some RTS-esk mechanics thrown in. Give it a try, not promising anything.

    This game its actually a good mobile game, a free to start that its very funny to manage. I like the Mode Auto, because be sincerely, these mobile games dont requiere a lot of atentions. I use it for grind, and non-auto for unlocking new levels. I dont play a lot, so i dont care at all of the limited lives. I give it a 10 just because im enjoying this game :).

    Fun, addicting, and the least "Free to Play" free to play game I have ever played. Almost 5 hours in and haven't felt the need to pay a cent. Great on switch, but meant to be played with a touchscreen, and a mobile release is in the works

    This is definitely the best free game on the switch! I love trying higher power leveled quests than the team I have makes it more challenging.

    An interesting spinf-off, ideal to hang out and farm.
    Some might consider it forgettable, but it's a nice addition to the Pokémon catalog on Switch.

    Un juego que nos recuerda que no hay que juzgar un libro por su portada, a pesar de su estética estilo Minecraft, Pokémon Quest es un juego de acción muy adictivo pero por sobre todas las cosas divertido. Si lo pruebas seguro acabas agarrándole el gusto, ya que se vuelve muy divertido personalizar equipos, crear recetase ir a conquistar la isla.
    El juego es muy básico en sus controles,    Un juego que nos recuerda que no hay que juzgar un libro por su portada, a pesar de su estética estilo Minecraft, Pokémon Quest es un juego de acción muy adictivo pero por sobre todas las cosas divertido.

    El juego es muy básico en sus controles, los personajes se mueven automáticamente y uno debe comandar cuando los pokémon utilizan sus ataques especiales. La experiencia es muy personal ya que cada piedra que mejore a tu pokémon, cada tipo y especie del grupo influye y tanto la estrategia como los equipos irán cambiando de acuerdo a la decisión del jugador. Si hay algo que criticar es que requiere mucho farming de ítems.
    Si tienes una Switch no tienes excusa de no probarlo ya que es gratuito y el juego no te obliga a realizar gastos para disfrutarlo al máximo.    … Expand

    At the moment I'm loving it for the casual type of gameplay it offers. Still when you get stuck in a level you're provoked into thinking about which types of pokemon to use and which stones to equip and all the nerdy aspects of pokemon you like.

    The biggest thing that's kept me playing without the need to pay is simply making 2 accounts, which is very easy on Switch. It takes like 15 seconds to switch between accounts when you run out of Battery Charge on one account. This has enabled me to get enough gameplay hours, although with 3 accounts you could probably play this 24/7.    … Expand

    Absolutely shocked by how involved this game is. When I first saw it revealed I thought it wouldn't be for me. I thought not having physical control of the Pokemon on screen was stupid, pointless and extremely disappointing, but boy was i wrong!

    This game focuses more on team building and has a very in depth battle mechanic that is pretty impressive once you dig in to it. Now that I've been playing it for some time I'm glad you don't control the Pokemon, this allows you to focus on move sets and buffs that compliment each other.. The stones also play a huge roll and add a much deeper element to the game. All in all its an amazing free to play game but the $30 DLC makes it even better and is worth every penny! I hope they release an expansion that includes new areas and gen 2 Pokemon in the near future.    … Expand

    This is a really good game, especially for a free Pokemon game. It's really just a free game that you can play for a little during a break, or for a long time. But you pretty much need to use the touchscreen if you want to use attacks faster.

    Pokémon Quest is free and has, even with its limitations, quite addictive elements and even quite deep. The game is made for a more expanded audience and may not please the most purists and conservatives.

    The first two hours of this game was fun, but in the end, the duplication of gameplay still makes me feel boring. Finishing this game needs too much luck instead of techniques, what's more, the silly AI always stops you from passing levels.

    Pokémon Quest is really repetitive but guess what, it’s still catchy as hell. And you can play it without spending no money. It’s far from perfect though, mostly because of its poor readability.
