This game is the ultimate love letter to Pokémon. They took the formula of classic Pokémon and distilled it to its purest form. I started playing this game to see the cool fusions and ended up immensely satisfied with this games QOL features. When you couple these features with the truly insane amount of replayability that comes with fusing Pokémon you get a game that offers something for every kind of Pokémon fan. Whether you want to theorycraft to create the toughest Pokémon possible and face every challenge the game has to offer or whether you just want to see cool and/or cute Pokémon, this game has got what you're looking for and then some. For Pokémon fans new and old, this is a must-play.

the card game itself is good, the elements beyond the card game take it up a notch

used to be the shit now it ain't even the fart

this is the only game that i will sometimes open up just to spectate rounds of. i have a couple hundred hours as of writing and there is a lot i still do not understand about the game (atmospherics) but i understand enough to know what is happening generally and that is enough for this to be the most entertaining multiplayer game ever for me

this game taught me all of the red flags that tell you when a game is going to have a disastrous launch

if you do not enjoy this game you do not have a soul
