As someone who never grew up playing Pokemon (I know, I know, but I wasn't allowed to have a GameBoy okay?!) this was a fun, yet overly simple, introduction to that type of turn-based combat people know and love.
While I'm not one for turn-based games, I did find myself enjoying the rock-paper-scissors gameplay of "Pocket Mortys." At least, I enjoyed it for the first hour or so. After a while, the game itself became quite repetitive and fell into the gacha-style traps of trying to get me to pay for more healing items with real money. I can't stand this. This is a game that is made to kill time in the waiting room at a doctor's office, or on the bus, or even sitting on the toilet after eating an extra burrito when you know your bowels are inflamed and you're not 16 anymore.........
I'd willingly pay a fee for a complete game WITHOUT gacha mechanics built in. Alas, that is not possible.
Pocket Mortys will stay in my pocket, FOR GOOD.

Pocket Mortys is, no joke, one of the best mobile games I've ever played. I was never a huge Rick and Morty fan (I though it was... ok!), but this game really took some of the best writing you could get from the show, slammed that into a wry Pokémon knock-off, and added the supremely satisfying game mechanic of fusing doubles of the same "type" of Morty together for a really polished experience.
I love collecting a thousand versions of the same guy, and this game understands that about me. It rules.

When I was still in school I spent a lot of money on this game. One day my grandmother asked me what I was spending all of my money and not saving it, I then thought about it and I had to ask myself "is this really worth it", I then spent around 10 more dollars on this game and it continued like this for another 5 months until I got bored with the game and moved on to something else.
I deeply hate past STRM so much.

Really grindy pokemon clone
It looked great for a phone game from it's time. It clearly wasn't just another mobile shovelware.
Maybe this could have been a better game if it was released for the 3ds... or the vita (lol). Then it wouldn't have been full of the typical mobile manipulation tactics to make you spend more money.
