There is an acceptable Pokemon[-style] game for mobile. It's called "Pocket Mortys".
While it is based on a show that is inappropriate for children, the game has intentionally avoided including any content that would push it past an E rating.
It has in-app purchases, but all content is available to gratis players, given enough grinding.
- Bartweiss 9y agoHonestly, I find Pocket Mortys more fun than Pokemon Go. That's pretty depressing, since it's mostly supposed to be a funny tie-in game.
- pilsetnieks 9y agoEverything in Pokemon Go is available freely to anyone as well, given enough grinding. The ones griping about play-to-win and microtransactions just don't want to grind.
- logfromblammo 9y agoMetaphorically, Pokemon Go grinds with jewelers' rouge, while Pocket Mortys grinds with coarse emery. The reward to effort ratio is lower. Besides that, when you put free-to-play players in direct competition with paid players, and give the latter an enormous advantage over the former, that's when people start griping about pay-to-win.
