Player Reviews

I have been on this site/game for a smallish amount of time, and I have sincerely enjoyed it. It was one of those things that I felt a connection to almost instantly. I really like how there aren't just normal and shiny pokemon, there are also albino and melanastic pokemon aswell! The different sprites are very cool/creative, the non-official mega evolutions look absolutely stunning, and the over-all idea of this whole thing is really good. The only downsides are, that it tends to be a bit slow at times, but that isn't really a big problem anyway, so you shouldn't need to worry about it.

I play almost every day because it's SOOOO addicting! It's so good, it's almost like an Official game by Nintendo! :D

The game can be very tedious sometimes, but it's good for people who are into Pokemon and have a lot of time on their hands.

Great combination of idle farming and interacting

How an app coming soon

i love this game, and the community is just so helpful and wholesome and it truly is just an amazing time killer

I've been looking for a pokemon game to play for awhile and I finally found this one and its amazing, and the staff are so nice and helpful! The other plaers are also super nice and helpful aswell!

It's a good time killer and I find it adds a lot of interesting concepts to Pokémon. However, it's probably not a game for those without the patience to passively make your way through without spending money. It's a grind for sure; it takes a lot of interacting and trading. I've managed to do well enough by passively going and clicking to earn Credits, but it takes persistence to keep with it. Because of this, I find myself sometimes leaning away from the game, becoming uninterested in keeping up. With the addition of of more monthly, community-based events and mini games, I find it easier to stay interested and active. My biggest critique? While I've been playing for... 2 or 3 years now (correct me if I'm wrong), I've gotten some friends to join in the last 6 months and they're completely overwhelmed by the events and information and how difficult it is to find everything. Mods have mentioned taking steps to fix this, and its appreciated.

The game itself is definitely not terrible. Those who say "pay to play" isn't inherently wrong but you can always do things in-game to get money - just very, very slowly which helps to have those who don't have the patience to simply give up money for the website. With this argument, it's a lot less egregious since this is a free to play website. These are my own observations for those who have heard of the "pay to play" model of pfq. Before you try this game, you should be aware there is quite a bit of talk about the staff members. I won't even go and list the myriad of things I've seen staff talk about and what happens to users who call them out of their things. I would suggest if you want to know about the staff members, and are older than 13, please look at their twitters and instead of listening to other users tell you things about other people, take a look for yourselves. For those who are already playing and just have no idea what's going on, you have the added advantage, if you are over the age of 13 and have discord, to view what the staff's behavior is in discord. For those over 18, find the staff's blogs and read them. See for yourself if you find their behavior as terrible or good instead of listening to other users. For those who have heard about other users and rumors about those who spoke poorly of the staff member's being banned, I've witnessed it. For my personal opinion, I do not agree to have punishment being dished out for opinions and to stoop to the level of users. Staff members should be above on a professional level to that of an average user. Yet, time and time again, they go to the level of the user from what I have personally observed. What are my true opinions? Did I quit the site because of this? Yes. It isn't my only reason but it is certainly my main one. I do not believe ALL staff members are terrible people. In fact, I'm more inclined to blame those higher than mods for they are the ones who choose the mods to begin with. The admins should be held responsible for EVERYTHING a mod does and should have it handled in a professional manner and not always acting rashly. Do I hate the site? No. I just do not agree with the people who run it. I would list all of my reasons but I'm sure someone will come over to defend what I have to say so I'll keep those words to myself. As I stated earlier, most of the information I have seen and received from my own research and from others is completely public. Very few things I've seen were personal emails, messages, or even private threads. Pretty much all the information I have seen is me looking in the pfq discord, reading their twitter accounts, and watching the interactions of users on pfq itself in full view of either everyone or everyone over the age of 18. If none of this bothers you or even with research you feel that you are okay or even uncaring of how the game state is and the people who run it, then this game is one of the better pokemon games for you. If this review hits you in some way or at least has you asking questions, then I have done something in this review. The main thing I want to hit home with this review is not to slander any users or staff members but to inform and enlighten you about my own feelings on the matter and to ask you to do the same for this site. If you feel like I've...lied somehow despite this being mostly opinion and asking you to do research and observe yourself, then that is your feelings and I will not belittle that.

I have never played Pokémon before and my friend suggested it to me so I started playing and I haven’t stopped playing since! I would definitely suggest this game to others, it’s so addictive, once you start you can’t stop!
