This game actually has a very fun battle system that changes Pokemon battles from the traditional turn based system to that of a timed-energy system, and all battles are 3v3 with designated Strike, Support, or Tech class Pokemon.

Unfortuantely all of those positives are ruined by mobile game mechanics. Endless upgrades, repetitious events that require you to play the same battle a hundred times, and way too many characters to actually have any sort of balance. At least half the roster is literally unusable and has no scenario in which they would be worth picking over another character. There are options for increasing the power of moves like repeated pulls and more, but that is really only useful for Strike characters. Increasing power is basically useless for Tech and Support classes because their value doesn't come from raw strength.

I've got pretty much every character to their max level so I just play the hardest battles which are either too easy or too hard, there is no in between.

I'm pretty bored of playing the game at this point and have mostly stopped. I occasionally play it for a week or so when they have an event going on. But it's really come down to just a collecting-fest. Barely any substance anymore.

So months and months later and it turns out I've deleted the game and moved on as I just can't get on with the gameplay at all.

Yeah it's fun to see a bunch of interactions with different Pokémon characters but I'm sorry, I'm not fucking going through hours and hours of the same boring battles against the same boring NPC's just to see them, no thanks.

Not even Ash and Pikachu from a prior event can keep me going.

It's hard to really determine what I actually like about Pokemon Masters EX mainly because the game as changed so much and yet not at all through out the course of it's lifetime. Despite this though, I can't help, but think the way the game actually operates now is by making you not wanting to actually play the game.


Maybe auto battling was always apart of the game or maybe it just wasn't as good or my team wasn't as good, but at a certain point, Pokemon Masters EX stops being a real time strategy type game, and more like a simulator for all your fancy new gacha gains. I really don't say this lightly nor do I say it as a way to diss the game. I think that both the way it uses active turn based battling is one of the best ways it was ever been implemented; while at the same time this game incorporates and demands so much of you that it's hard to not opt-in for usage like skip tickets or simply auto battling at higher speeds to get done with the content you are playing while doing something else. It's not like the gameplay is particularly bad either as a lot of it is simply standard JRPG buffing/debuffing and attacking opponents in a more stressed and time matter. The limited amount of moves makes menu-ing a far easier task compared to Final Fantasy's system, and it works in a regenerative mp like system that makes burst of attacking manage able while optimizing your attacks. In essence, it's a battle system that keeps you engaged while not overwhelming as long as you pay attention.


That being said Pokemon Masters EX is kinda shameless with it constantly needing you to power up your characters before a fight even starts, and even being at the right level can mean nothing if you don't also take advantage of other systems of power it uses like it's sync grinds (these act as skill trees) and move levels (a prestige like system). This all effectively means that either you are in for a long grind to get usable teams, or the option the devs want, buying currency to spend in their game. While I can't say much about my luck as either good or bad compared to others, I will say that getting a gacha character you want here, really isn't that bad. I've gotten plenty that I wanted to get, and some that I just got through it's free pulls. The main problem with the gacha isn't obtaining trainers you want, the problem comes with it's move level system. While the game does a good job to give you plenty ways to power up your characters through some grinding methods, overall most characters don't start becoming good till their 3rd move level, and that makes it rather frustrating when you have nearly hundreds of trainers that are competing for those types of power ups. Add that together with a bunch of new games and designs coming out, multiple different types to take advantage of in battle, and the various geared styled of move sets can make the biggest grind of them all being the gacha system. It really isn't like Fate Grand Order or Fire Emblem where a single character can carry you, you need multi-characters able to do that with various types that can be your ace in their better match ups, then if you are really dedicated, have all their bonuses match up for even greater power boost. Ultimately, what a lot of this game comes out to is how stacked is your whole gallery of characters over actual strategy options.

Pokemon Masters EX does have a lot more to offer than just it's battle system and fancy character designs tho. I can't express enough how this game just kinda gives us some of the most compelling writing for various pokemon characters out there that even some of it's games just don't touch. The main story is surprisingly endearing, and gives insight for the new characters introduced, as well as a spot light for some older characters to boot. It's honestly a bit jarring because you either get a whole lot of development for a character or none at all, and pending on who you like, that coin flip could be a bad result for you. Still there is absolutely one thing that anyone can enjoy from this game, and that's the soundtrack. The sheer amount of remixes, new, and old songs is just amazing. I really can't explain just how good this games soundtrack is, and if there is anything I'm grateful for this game for, it's that.

With all that being said, Pokemon Masters EX is honestly kinda average. The main attraction of having all the pokemon characters together is neat. It has led to a lot of interesting interactions and designs, but it's really hard to justify anyone getting into it that just doesn't have a bunch of time to waste.

Very underrated. It obviously has the expected problems that come with most gacha mobile games, but you know what you're getting into before you're downloading it.

But behind that veneer of a gacha is some neat stuff. Firstly, the models for everything are fantastic! I love this anime-style CG, and wish it would get used in more games, because it's just very appealing on the eyes. Given that the characters are the heart of this game, having them stylishly designed is key. The characters also have fun interactions, and although voice lines can be limited at times, I'm honestly surprised they went the extra mile to record any lines at all for a mobile game.

The game mechanics are quite fun too. They're not the traditional Pokémon mechanics, instead simplified and distilled down. But I was frankly okay with that. I didn't go to this game expecting a traditional Pokémon experience, and the fact that they decided to retain any of the turn-based mechanics at all is just a pleasant addition.

Where this game falters is the length and the eventual grind. Leading into the far end of mid game and into late game, the pace of your progress slows down significantly. Leveling up your trainers is an extremely long process, and battles can be way too difficult, leaving you stuck. This may have been improved upon from the time I stopped playing, but it was this grind that made me stop playing when I was otherwise having a good time.

But of mobile games, this was a lovely time. If you light fun, light-hearted, cute Pokémon aesthetics, especially from all your favorite trainers throughout all the games, this is a lovely little diversion.

Decided to download the game because they add Rika, my favorite Pokémon character, to the game.

The game seems interesting with being able to battle and team up with all the famous trainers from all the game. However, it is plagued by the curse of being a mobile game. Tons of unnecessary and long updates and constant pop up notifications. Could barely even play the game. It got so annoying to where I just deleted the game.

Whether you're a PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox or PC fanboy, can we all agree that mobile gaming is the worse? Thank you.
