The experience of trading is heavily hindered by the fact that the GTS is filled by people "displaying" their Pokémon, asking for trades that are impossible (trades for pokemon that do not exist naturally, like a Legendary Pokemon at an impossible level, for exemple). Edit : I've posted this review more than a year ago and nothing has changed. Fix your stuff, honestly. This display of incompetence is pathetic.

Why is it so impossible to connect a mobile device after having connected my Nintendo Account from a switch ? Is that so complicated ? I have no other mobile device connected. Is that so hard to implement that ? I love the switch app/game, but as long as I can't connect my account on my mobile, this is a 1*. Thanks to fix that (because it is obviously a bug, and obviously possible)

It's nice to be able to use this app from phone or switch but certain functions seem to be locked to what device your using, probably to encourage more downloads of the app. Biggest complaint though is that after several generations were added since the app came out the storage has not seemed to increase from its original, even on the paid version.
