Best iphone and ipad games like pokemon

You might not be a Pokemon trainer, but you get to evolve your monsters and battle it out with like-minded players. Pokemon is without a doubt one of the most popular media franchises out there. That's why it comes to no surprise that there are many companies that try to replicate them. Although Pokemon has its awesome share of movies and TV shows, its most famous media forms are games. You might remember the days when you used to play Pokemon on your GameBoy Advance. Many kids from the '90s and early '00s grew up playing Pokemon. The newer generation of all ages has the mobile game Pokemon Go to enjoy. Through its twenty years, Pokemon never lost its charm and appeal. This is also why many games like Pokemon on iOS are prevalent. These games take parts of Pokemon like the gameplay, interface, and even game design! They are also quite addicting to play so you wouldn't feel like it's a rip-off. Especially if you don't have access to a GameBoy or a mobile emulator. At least through these games like Pokemon, you can have more or less the same experience in a safer way. You can battle lots of players and monsters with potential and even share it with your friends when you win! If you want to start your journey to the very best, here is a list of the best Pokemon game on iOS! Which games like Pokemon on iPhone and iPad is the most fun to play? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
