Player Reviews

I'm a fairly new user, having made and forgot about an account ages ago (probably reaching 5 years ago, I don't remember the username let alone the password) but never really played, until I signed up here in October. Pros of the game: + Functional Site Not much to expand on this, site works very well on both mobile and desktop. + Beautiful Art Direction The sprites are very well made and color schemes for non-canon Pokemon (since canonical shinies can be... debatable in color schemes, in a lot of cases) are super visually appealing! I've found myself booting up a main-series game and wishing Albinos were canon... + Interesting Differences from Competitors Site-exclusive megas, site-exclusive Pokemon and variants, as well as albinistics and melanistics! + Working Sense of Accomplishment A lot of people complain how currency is hard to obtain, especially Zophan, and I can understand where they're coming from; farming long for something and not seeming to get any closer can be frustrating. I had to grind-click every day for near a month in the beginning to even get my pokeradar, and that was on a sales day, but in the end it's VERY rewarding. I've got myself hypermode, ubercharms, shiny charms, albinistic and shiny pokemon, as well as other buffs without spending a real-world cent. /The more time you put in gives out more!/ It's not for everyone! + Friendly Community I've had nothing but good experiences on the forums, dex-trading, buying, and selling alike. Everyone's very friendly and people are trustworthy! Cons: - Pay-for-Fun "Ramp" Not the biggest issue in my eyes, but is prevalent enough in the community to mention. Not everyone wants to log in and make 10-20k interactions a day for months to get enough credits to trade up to GP to trade up to zophan in order to make any progress or profit with the game WITHOUT paying. Gives players a sense of accomplishment when they finally achieve what they've been wanting for ages, but creates a rut in the beginning where players might lose motivation and leave the site. I left for two months after my first month, and I don't doubt that many other (former?) players have done the same due to the RAMP: not a paywall, since it's achievable to get there, but takes tons of work. - Repetitive Truly, Pokefarm is just a clicking game. If you aren't a fan of other clicking games because of how repetitive they are, I don't think you will get enjoyment out of the same thing in a Pokemon skin. Forum going can mediate this a bit, and some people may find Wondertrade and sparring fun, but the fact stays that there isn't much incentive to log back in regularly over a long period of time. (I haven't been able to break my current longest online chain of 25) | I can't comment on the staff since I haven't spoken with them myself, but it seems to be a somewhat mixed bag. I commend them on the work they do, though! And that's all I have to say! Thanks for reading!
