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.
