For what it is (a storage app for your Pokémon), it does things very well. Transporting Pokémon between the different Switch games and HOME feels very seamless and convenient. Whenever I need to pick up a Pokémon, whether to use it for my own team or to trade it with friends, I can easily find it using this app through it's easy-to-use functions.
I also like the additional features that the game brings. The smartphone app allows me to view my Pokémon even when I do not have my Switch with me, and I really like the trading function as makes trading easier than ever before: allowing me to trade with other players while managing my Pokémon storage. The Pokédex feature is a simple, but welcome feature as well. I sometimes load the app simply to view the many different Pokédex entries available for the Pokémon. I also think it's really cool that each of the Pokémon received new renders for this game, re-imagining the Sugimori artwork as 3D models.
With that said, despite all these nice things I have to say about the game... I'm not sure if it's worth paying $15 a year. These features, while great, are very simple and not worth that much money. A $5/year subscription model (or better yet, completely free) would make this game much more worth it.

Over priced and weirdly limited. why cant you transfer between lets go evee and pikachu? why are 3ds pokemon permanently locked on switch? why is there no pokedex on the mobile app? why is there no trading on the switch version? why is it so expensive when pokemon bank was so much cheaper and worked better?
