Despite negative reviews, I still went and downloaded the game and boy it is the blast! I was quite nervous to invest time here since many said that there are a lot of crushes and errors and sure I sometimes get them but, they are minor problems since the gameplay overrides them all. You like pokemon? You like pokemon trainers/gym leaders/elite fours/champions? Then go and try your luck, you may be able to play the game as much as I do, it worth it. Have been playing the game for a week and it is great, did not invest money and got my share of trainers.
You can play yourself and enjoy fully animated sprite, can play on auto while doing other things, or you can skip full battles using tickets and burn your energy instantly. Engage in different mechanics and grind to your heart's content.
