Reception

Pre-release

Many were not pleased with the game's reveal, with YouTube videos of its announcement receiving thousands of dislikes, one of which quickly became the most disliked on The Pokémon Company's YouTube channel.[4] The discontentment was attributed to the involvement of Tencent, the free-to-play model, and the hype and expectations set by the previous Pokémon Presents, which announced the game as a "big project".[5][6]
