The story aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with players expressing frustration over glitches that hinder progress, such as quest-related issues and auto-pathing mechanics that detract from the experience. Many feel that the game has shifted towards a gacha model, limiting gameplay through energy constraints and monetization, which has led to disappointment among users who expected a more traditional Pokémon experience. Overall, while some enjoy the concept, the execution has left many feeling frustrated and dissatisfied.
- “A lot of quests and daily objectives.”
- “It's awesome but you need to make a shard machine like in the old Pixelmon town carnival. I hope you guys make it! ”
- “Made Pokémon into a gacha game where it costs energy to battle and you can't walk past people if you can't battle them, so you're stuck in progressing the story until you gain more energy.”
- “I'm stuck on Seaward City, won't let me buy the Glitter Mat mission, can't move forward. I'm only giving 1 star because I've spent money and really enjoyed playing the game, but now I can't do anything. I've been looking for support online but no help, really disappointed.”
- “Hated the design; it didn't walk right and had the auto-path, which I despise. Auto-pathing ruins a game for me, and blocking the screen with quests and social media nonsense, without having that as a separate menu, grossly designed. It ruined the beauty of the game and irritates me; it feels like I'm being used to watch advertisements rather than being allowed to enjoy a good game.”
- “Made Pokémon into a gacha game where it costs energy to battle, and you can't walk past people if you can't battle them, so you're stuck progressing the story until you gain more energy. You can buy energy, but only once per day; if you have VIP, you can buy energy twice.”

- “I would give full stars if my Eevee evolved into something other than the water type. I can't play my music while playing the game.
