Rating issues

The game centres around 1vs1 arena based fighting as seen in games such as Tekken. Pokkén doesn’t feature any violence towards human-like characters. All the fights that are fought, are between the Pokémon. The game is bright and colourful, which is also reflected in the various unrealistic attacks they can unleash. Ranging from fireballs to teleportation attacks. The Pokémon react unrealistically to these attacks, they flinch back or fall on the floor when hit. When their HP gauge is depleted, they are defeated and fall down to the floor.

Other issues

There are a few darker themed Pokémon featured in this game. Gengar, a friendly ghost which can evolve into a larger, more serious, version and Shadow Mewto. These Pokemon could be disturbing to younger childeren, but they are not frightening enough to warrant a PEGI 7 fear descriptor. The game is centred around fighting and the action in this game is fast paced and frenetic. There are no RPG elements featured like in Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
