Player Reviews

Favorite past time, and I just this site overall

I’ve been playing since 2014, and I remember the site before its big revamp! It has grown so much, and has not become stale or boring in this span of years! It is constantly being added to and worked on, and it’s nice to know that it has a staff that really cares! Pokefarm really is a lot of fun and I hope it continues to gain more users for years to come!

This is the best pokemon game! It's not hard or easy!

After reading some other reviews, both positive and negative, I decided upon writing my own. On surface value, this site is really fun. You hatch eggs, breed your own, evolve Pokemon, go fishing, plant berries, and manage your own farm full of fields and goals to achieve. Exciting right? Until you find the market, different charms to hunt different forms, your personal money, and different locations within the farm. To begin, I personally believe that everything on this site is extremely overpriced. Yes there are special bonuses that cut prices by a certain percentage, but they still don't help much. Especially Because it is incredibly difficult to even get currency unless you pay for zophan canisters, which is actual money. And where does that money even go? Hundreds of dollars probably on a daily basis going out into the abyss for what reason? The only way to achieve anything is with credits or gold poke. Even that has its limits. And any way to even get more regular currency is to buy canisters with your own money to get anywhere. Which I don't believe is quite right or fair. Also along these lines, tournament tokens are a fun way to create incentive to participate in something for a week. But the rewards are massively expensive. Unless you are homeschooled, don't work, don't play a sport, don't have a hobby, or just do nothing but hang on pokefarm, the "easy, medium, and hard" categories should all be considered "hard, Oh no, and you better not do anything besides this site." The only way to buy any of the prizes in a reasonable time frame is to reach the "hard" level for five tokens, but still that barely gets you anything useful. Secondly, there are random locations all over the farm page in the nearby places that serve next to no purpose. Maybe I don't understand the purpose of them because I have never had any of the pokemon/items the scientists are "researching." Why are there so many places? What are the even for? (At least one requires money, which I have talked about extensively in the previous section and will not delve into further). I feel like there should be something somewhere that explains the reward of getting these Pokemon/items and if it is actually worth your time finding them. Finally, the amount of users on this site is nice, but it makes the website frustrating. Once there is over one thousand users online, the website drags and is incredibly slow. My internet connection is relatively constant, so that isn't the issue. I have been noticing it more and more as I try to interact with other users because the page takes forever to load, and cannot load all fifty users on a page like it usually can with less users online. It is ridiculously frustrating and very difficult to interact with other users and even navigate the site. On a final and positive note, I do quite enjoy the site and upgrading my badges. Truly, it is the only thing I can really do without being incredibly frustrated and mildly annoyed with some aspects that could be changed. I will still continue to work my way through to hopefully unlock everything in my pokedex, but honestly it will probably take forever considering its been over two years since I've joined and have barely gotten anywhere so far.

SUCKSSSSSSSSSSSS SAFLDFLDSALSDFA.UH U SUCK CHIKEN LEGS

Um... any... particular reason?

I have been playing for a few months now and I must say by no means is this game bad. First the pros 1) A community where about 95% of the users are nice. 2) Fun fakemon and fake mega evolutions. 3) Loads of features to enjoy and explore. 4) Staff does there job which is nice since other Pokemon sites have terrible mods. 5) New stuff are added frequently. 6) It isn't too hard to get currency. These are all good, so how can I possibly rank it three stars, well I will explain, but before the con here is one thing I am annoyed about but can over look. There is no way to block annoying users. If they are messaging you all you can really do is ignore them. While this is fine a block button would be nice. The con in my opinion is it gets really repetitive. While some say it is I personally find it rather dull to repeat everything. Send out Scour Pokemon, get punching bags, open up boxes, click, check other things, and repeat until something new comes along to get your attention for a days and then back to the cycle. By all means play it, it can be really fun at times but know that other times it is really dull. Thus 3 stars as fifty percent of the time it is fun and fifty percent it is boring.

Please be aware that the reason we have - as you put it - "a community where about 95% of the users are nice" is because we encourage users to report problem people, rather than just ignore/block them. By reporting, you allow us to take a look into the issue and resolve it, either by explaining to the offending user why what they did is not acceptable and helping them learn how to better adjust to our social community, or if such a resolution is impossible then by removing them entirely. This helps the community as a whole by removing toxic people before they can affect too many people, but this would not be possible if we had a Block button. With a Block button, each individual would just ignore the problem and that problem would move on to the next victim. It's far better overall to solve problems rather than ignoring them. I hope this explanation helps!

i always loved breeding pokemon... this game has it all

Y'know, I was just looking through the forums on Chicken Smoothie and I saw this website mentioned. When I tried the game, I LOVED it. So I invited a few of my friends to play. You should try too! (Can someone tell me if I can change my username, also?) XD

Though much has changed since I first joined Pokefarm 1, I still do love the essence of this site. I won't lie, I'm not much of an active clicker, but I still enjoy this site. You can work on things without being an busy-bodied clicker. There are forums full of chat rooms, common-minded clans and even roleplays. Artists can grow and gain exposure in the art forms through shops or general posts, and people can get art their interested in there or through contests. Fanfiction areas help writers get criticism and readers find something they will enjoy. Not to mention the comic section (which is my home, at this point) is a great way for players to take a break and read a fun fancomic. Laugh, maybe shed tears, all a good time. However, with these being more side pieces of the site they tend to take a back-burner on improvements and the such. Though the forums are generally good, the comics have their problems. They have just been reintroduced and right at the beginning they were well monitored, but now that's been slipping. A lot more spam has been posted and they are being treated more as the art threads then proper comics. Additionally, things like editing a page or any sort of organisation to them is still lacking as they are currently thrown into a pool. I have suggested things to improve them, but as they were already planning improvements to them they were disregarded. I don't take any of that personally, but as they've been back for a while and seem to be degrading more then improving it seems to be an ignored side. The clicking, on the other hand, is well handled. I've seen many improvements over the years which has mad mass clicking and rapid interacting easier. Both field and party organization is a breeze, I love it. So the core of the site is really well made, especially with goals to help reward and motivate active behavior. The Mods are great because they really do care about the site and the people. They're willing to stand up against adversity, host fundraisers and do it while still having fun. Though there has been problems in history, they do their job to correct their wrongs and remove those who toxify the site, regardless of their positions. I know I can trust them, which is very important. All in all, I would recommend this site to anyone and will continue to be an active contributor :) I hope to continue to watch it grow over the years.

The concept of the site is very well thought out and the community is very kind. They are always taking suggestions on how to improve the site and add new content.
