Besides art not much to see here.Pokemon Quest - 2018Still Updated.Dev by GameFreakCube-based/Minecraft Based GraphicsAuto Battler Team BuilderHas a nice ascetic but is held back by how casual the game is. Game is pure grind combined with rng. Basic game flow is Spend energy to send Pokémon on expeditions which gather resources and progress the story. Use resources to make food to randomly attract new Pokémon with semi random stats. Stronger Pokémon being more rare and usually require multiple food chances to pull.Magikarp Jump 2017 -Still Available but not updated since 2017Dev By Select Button Studio - Jap devs who make cute mobile games about animals. Great Stylized artwork and good sense of humor. Raise a Magikarp by generations to have them compete in Magikarp jumping tournaments. Magikarp will either die or be retired. Shows a slice of Pokémon life we don't see much of in the main games.Gameplay consists of raising a Magikarp to its max potential then putting it in a contest. Its performance changes based on how you raised it but has a set max. Every time you compete you earn currency to raise the max cap of your karp which places you on an endless grindy hamster wheel.(Use real world money to increase caps)Overall cute but not worth playing. Just another idle clicker.Pokemon Duel -Retired 2016-2019Based on the Pokémon Trading Figure game 2007-2009 added new generations and Pokémon to the dead table top game of the past.
