Here is my feedback:
Pros:
- Unique idea of progression, nicely implemented
- Quests – another nice, new idea to me
- All gens! – reason why I started to play
- Legendaries can be caught before the final battle
- Real randomness instead of the fake one where resetting the fight makes it the same
- Not that many bugs
- Good feeling of progression through building
- No HMs
Cons:
- The game is sooo slow – it needs a speed-up mode. Big waste of time waiting to see if I can catch something, loading screens, text, and animations I've seen a thousand times. Even moving (though faster than in other games) takes too long.
- Quests – yes, they're also a pro, but the more you get, the grindier and more boring they become. I had a quest like "Defeat 120 wild Pokémon" – sounds trivial, but it's slow and repetitive. same about "buy items from the market" currently I should spend 54k, on what? I got all I want
- Lack of a wiki or Discord. I want to Google some things and feel complete, instead of finding everything by myself – especially the second portal on the sea, which I still couldn't find.
- TMs shouldn't be one-time use.
- Permanent Repel should be an option. Also, Repel doesn't work at sea, while Super and Max do. Additionally, the price/steps balance is off – Max Repel should give more steps or have a lower price. Right now, Super Repel is the best value.
- No real Megas – just changing the skin doesn't give the "Mega" feeling.
- Lack of proper tracking in the Medal Case – for example, "Multicultural" should show progress.
- Player bag is waaaaay too small.
- auto teleport to new building, it would be better to be asked instead of just teleporting - I want to build in bulk and not every single time coming back
Overall, I enjoy playing the game and would love to play more, but a speed-up feature is necessary for me. I feel like I'm wasting too much time waiting or doing grindy things.
