Community Insight:
This game has been around for a very long time and we still come back to it and its always just some good fun. Play it and maybe itll get some support again one day.
Yeah, just because Rayquaza bites the board 51 times doesnt mean that you cant have fun playing the game.
This game is so much freaking fun. Today we literally got THUNDERUS with the gem we got in the daily rewards. We also have victini, articuno, and lucario which mega form is absolutely OP. And these reviews of people saying its pay to play or its too unfair, like, bro. Its a match 3 game with pokemon what more could you ask?! So kids, if you want this game dont look at the negative reviews.
We had this game back when it was on the 3ds as a kid, its so fun to play again!! Ive been playing since December and its our favorite time killer when we have a free minute. The constantly updating stages help keep things fresh and give you something to look forward to every week! We have no idea why people are complaining about the jewels, we have 9 of them and havent had to use one in months. Definitely recommend playing if you like Pokemon and puzzle games.
We were happy to play this game, again.
We love this game! Its so fun! There are so many levels to play and the fun is never ending! We can play with and collect tons of different cute Pokmon. The levels are strategizing and fun. It exercises our brain and allows for fun and thinking! This is a must play game for Pokmon fans and gamers alike! Highly recommended.
Words can not describe how happy we are to have this game back. Well, technically we have it on our 3DS still, but we can finally play special stages again! 3DS era was so special.
This game provides fun of collecting the Pokmon and popping them, but limits you so you dont just sit there all day trying to catch Pokmon and trying to complete puzzles. This day and age games can be obsessive.
This has always been one of our favorite games! It gives us lots of childhood nostalgia. Its relaxing, fun, and Pokmon! Its perfect.
We previously rated this game 3 stars due to an annoying glitch but it seems like its gone. We love how many hearts it gives you when you dont open the app for weeks. Ill have 2 hearts and when we open the app Im suddenly given 90 hearts O_O Love this game! Still stuck on the mega mewtwo stage though That stage is unbeatable.
Its really casual and yet its engaging + the game will keep you on your mental feet in terms of memorizing the types.
Us ha gustado mucho este juego es uno de mis favoritos sin alguna duda, es entretenido para matar el tiempo y adems lleva mucha estrategia en cuanto al equipo que buscas formar para la captura de porque nes salvajes nuevos que te aparecen durante tu aventura, deseara que hubiese modos de conseguir gemas de una manera ms sencilla pero desafiantes por ejemplo una pelea con un pokemon salvaje verdaderamente desafiante, sin embargo lo que verdaderamente us est frustrando no son los combates avanzados sino ms bien que no halla otras pokebolas para poder conseguir atrapar a los pokemones que logras derrotar o una manera de conseguir ms monedas para poder pagar las sper balls. Us la paso sper bien jugando el juego y se nota que hay mucho desarrollo detrs del juego est sper bien hecho us entretiene y us encanta, lo nico que deseara es que aadieran ms opciones de poke bolas o formas de conseguir monedas para as estar mejor equipado o preparado para la captura de un pokemon salvaje al cual hallas derrotado, aparte de eso todo bien.
We normally dont leave any review for any game. But we like Pokemon and this is the only game we play on our phone. Its was fun and required luck as well . We wish the game would continue adding Pokemon from Generation 8 and 9. This game had so much potential and could grow even more.
Have we become obsessed with this game?? Absolutely. Do we use every pokemon we catch?? Nope! This is a really fun game. Pretty simple too. We barely play the "expert" or "special" routes tho lol seeing the mega evolutions is cool too. The only "bad" thing we can say about this game is that paying is required to advance anywhere near the 3-digit stages. From our own experience anyway, we usually need to buy jewels just to get 5 extra moves to even get CLOSE to advancing past whatever stage we happen to be stuck at. We do like that it only costs one jewel to buy all of the "add-ons" before you start a puzzle (the extra moves, the disruption delay, the extra exp points etc the options are different every few battles). Another "bad" thing is that if you REALLY wanna catch a pokemon, you gotta spend coins (and/or a jewel) to get a great ball and even then, it's not a guaranteed catch. This is true in the regular pokemon games of course but like. It's maybe 70% luck and the rest depends on if you are willing/able to spend actual money to be able to catch anything. We'd say you can definitely play this WITHOUT spending money (you get log-in rewards but the best is the +5 hearts imo) but if you wanna advance farther thru the game, you definitely need to spend some money. Tl;dr: we really (really) enjoy this game, but it requires you to slap down some cash if you intend to advance thru the game. Ps: the trainer battles SUUUUCK lol.
If your a Pokemon fan, you will love this simple, yet enjoyable mobile game.
We played this game on the 3ds a lot and we love this game alot. Sorry if this is a stretch but its personally our favorite Pokemon game to this date.
We WANT TO CATCH NEW POKMON PLEASE.
This game was obviously forgotten about! It is outdated and has pokemon only up to Alola! Please update.
Thank you for making this game!!! We enjoy playing it and super fun!!! Keeps our mind occupied and focused on the next level.
We play it everyday been about 3 weeks since we downloaded.
Ok, we really love this game. Ive dogged deep into the game, and Im doing good. However, we have one issue. Please make it so that you dont lose a life when you win a level. It will make the game more fun. Its that simple. Hopefully you fix this so that we dont lose a life when we win a level. And jewels are so rare, we cant buy more. We grind, grind, grind. Other than that, we love this game! This is one of our favorite games in this year! We love it.
This app is so cool to play, and Ive played the 3Ds version before so, its also a wave of nostalgia for us and anyone else who has played the 3Ds for a long time. One suggestion though, can the hearts be easier to earn? We say this because you have to wait ONE HALF-HOUR to regain a heart without spending Jewels Can you maybe shorten that to, like, we dont know, say, like, 20-ish minutes? Yeah we know theres a deal in the special shop that makes you regenerate hearts faster and it costs only a jewel but we mean come on, you still have to wait for quite a while to regen a heart. So maybe make a deal that makes you regenerate a heart every 5 minutes and it costs 3 because the duration of the deal is like 2 days. So yeah that is our review. P.s. Maybe try making jewels a bit easier to get instead / as well.
We have played it for a long while and it is never going to stop being fun. We like how it can never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever get old.
There could a tournament everyday, and it would cost 3 hearts. Each Pokmon match would be an attack. Whoever wins gets a free jewel. We think that this would make Pokmon shuffle more popular. Please consider adding this to the game.Its very fun still!!!! Please write back.
Good game, but too few hearts. So add us as friends to get more hearts. CVYV7FA7.
We love everything about this App.
Hi! We love this. Im on stage 210. Ive even beaten the Mega Mewtwo. We are very excited to tell you that we love this game. The game is so fun and we are very happy with the game because we have a lot of fun playing it.
We are fiddazled by this continuingly new no WiFi game.
We loooooveee pokemon shuffle (please help) its literally the best game ever (please let our family go) when we close our eyes we start shuffling (help) SHUFFLE SHUFFLE SHUFFLE SHUFFLE SHUFFLE.
PLEASE DONT SHUT THIS GAME DOWN IN MARCH 2023 ITS SO GOOD. HOPEFULLY THEY MEAN OMLY FOR THE 3DS STORE BUT STILL THIS GAMES A MASTERPIECE.
We accidentally erased our data trying to transfer from our phone to our tablet. Is there anyway we can retrieve it or do we have to start over.
This is such a nice relaxing match game. Its also got no ads which is a HUGE plus these days. Would love to see this updated more again with new Pokmon and stages. Thanks Pokemon Company for keeping your free games ad-free.
Its a great app to keep track of. Im so glad to see that Im loveing it.
This game is great but the hearts. We think its weird because No other Pokmon game we know requires hearts to play.
Picked this up a few months ago and its been a joy to play. The weekly special stages and ranked play have been a delight after our progress in the main stages slowed drastically once the daily prizes and gem support end in a few months we imagine a lot of the main stages will simply become unbeatable without massive amounts of Meowth grinding, which is very sad. Ill miss playing it after March rolls around.
The game is awesome. We just wish that the game didnt make you use hearts to play.
We adore this game. Played the heck out of it but then our phone died and thats when we discovered it wasnt backed up anywhere and we lost all the progress. You can only move it from working phone to new phone with a code it gives you during export. If this game had cloud backup to FB or something, Id tear into it again and would even spend money. But the way it is, is a dealbreaker for us. We miss it though.
We like playing with the Pokmon. We like collecting them.
Ive been playing this game for years a really fun title.
Well we play this a lot.but then we realized it had the Alola region.we tried to beat Sogaloe.we did beat it but we did not catch it.But we might.And this game is awesome.
Played this in 2016 and rediscovered this year. Only wish we couldve regained our old progress.
Fun game. Kinda glitchy. Wish they would update it, but its dead to nintendo/Pokemon company.
Game is so awesome. We love catching super strong pokemon and all the different modes.
Ive been playing since the release and continue to play. Its by far our mot favorite game even though it hasnt been updated in over 3 years. Make a Pokmon shuffle 2 Yes!!! June 13, 2022 after 4 years an update.
We love this game but we cant buy any jewels. Idk if its our phone thats bugging or the app so we asked our cousin and he said it didnt work on his phone either. Pls fix this.
We are an very big fan and also OG player of this game heck we played it on the ds during 2014 but there are still some bugs like some sounds not loading or lack of steal types for a long time and there is a couple of other things like the fact we have to wait about 2 hours for full hearts and the hearts that only gives you 10 minutes to play before hafting to wait a while over all tho the game is still as good as it was when we played in 2014.
This game is really fun, and its a rare mobile game that doesnt require microtransactions to progress. We really hope this game gets more updates soon, this game is a gem.
Its mew available? When do you get score bunny? Where do you find Dragonnine. When do you find mewtwo? Whats the weakness to Lucario? Where do you find Rio Lu.
Ya we hate puzzles but this game makes us like them Pokmon should make more of these games.
Please asd new Pokemon to the weekly challenge. There is new territories to cover with Pokemon Go and the new series.
