    Its been about two days since the game's launch , so what are your impressions so far?

    I have to say for a mobile game it's pretty good. Don't think it will captivate me as much as Pokemon Go did or have the same longevity, but it's still entertaining enough to make me keep coming back. I love interacting with all the gym leaders and characters from the games. Love learning more about their personalities and they and have so much individual depth and character to them. It's taken time to adjust to the battle mechanics considering I'm so used to turn based, but once I got the hang of it, I think I'm starting to like real time battles better. I think Game Freak can take a few notes from this game.

    I prefers it to Pokemon Go, but I am not impressed you can't catch a Pokemon and change that Pikachu out (Or give you an option between it and Eevee) for your own character.
     
    I'm not going to compare it to GO because I don't play GO, but at first I honestly didn't expect much. I thought I was going to play it for a few hours and then never touch it again.

    Oh, how wrong I was.
     
    It's a fun little game, I'm enjoying the battle system a lot. It took a bit to get used to but it's more deep than what I thought it would be. It's refreshing and has quite a bit of strategy behind it, you can win battles you're slightly outmatched for if you have a good strategy.
    Which Pokemon attacks when is pretty important and it's not simply a matter of spamming supereffective attacks.

    Also the care in mentioning little things of the lore for each character is great
     
    It's alright! Wonder how long it'll last and what new content we'll get/future genorisity of gems though. 7% is a good rate, but you're summoning way less than in other games on the other hand, if you're not coughing up money.

    Music is good, UI is okay but not without some flaws, the beginning lag and errors at times is annoying - main disappointment is the lack of support for a lot of phone models and particularly 32 bit devices atm. I can manage Dragalia Lost just fine, including COP with 3 other players with four characters each person against a giant moving monster and minions with no noticeable lag, but I can't run PM at all? Uh...

    Lore for characters may well be the highlight so far.

    Gimme MIror B down the track please. D=
     
    At first I thought the jewels have had some PaytoWin meaning. However, at the moment this is absolutely not the case. I raised all my sync pairs very quickly without even putting in a penny. Now that I'm that far I do not even think about doing it at all. Playing in a team with others is fun. Apart from that, it is very easy to raise all SyncPairs to high level if you repeat the reinforcement training fights over and over again.
    At first I thought to myself how I should ever defeat this or that SyncPair ... But the game is very rewarding. At first I did not think it would be so deep and fun. But still more content is needed.
    Apart from that, the combat system takes a bit of getting used to. But you can get in quickly.
     
    I've been enjoying the music a lot, from all the different battle themes remixes to the ambient ones... and yes the game is perfectly "playable" free for now, I hope they keep it like that.

    I'm curious what characters and events they will add in the future, the multiplayer is really fun.
     
    The overall presentation of the game is really nice!
    One thing I did not expect was the fleshing out of many of the characters that were just "I'm a gym leader, you need to beat me" up to this point. Not to mention the protagonist characters from the main series games. I particularly like what they did with Rosa, Flannery, Pryce, Bugsy (of all people o.o), Roxanne and Erika.

    I do have a bit of gacha game experience (as a F2P player), so luckily I have something to compare it to gameplay-wise.
    tl;dr: it's pretty good, but not amazing. Full comparison:
    Spoiler:

    We'll see how things develop in the future.
     
    Less entertaining than what I expected. Gacha has been generous with me... Relatively (I curse the second copy of Phoebe) but honestly there are other gacha games that you can get so much more value.

    The biggest problem is that I don't see any motivation to read the story, is as generic as a story can be. Just skipping it would be for the best. And don't tell me that it is just a mobile game, there are various gacha with a really good story

    I also strongly agree with the comparison. Of LucarioBread

    The game is alright but I am not a huge fan of the main character. The graphics a really good and I am having fun so far. One of the few flaws is the forgettable characters, I even forgot who was my team again 🤦
    However I rate this game with a 8/10

    Moved your thread to an existing one since we have a first impressions thread active already. =)

    Diantha will be coming at some point in the near future I'm sure, her and Gardevoir are already on the cover! So we'll definitely see her. I'd like Gold/Ethan too. And Silver. <3 What do you think of the idea of adding villains to the game, like Giovanni etc?
