It's a much needed storage system however it's not without its problems, which are all inconveniences. The biggest gripe i have is the lack of a sort system. It's sad when an app on a mobile device what their N64 and GameCube counter parts did in the late 90s to early 2000s. The inability to filter out specific search results is also a problem, littered with hacked pokemon and wants that are impossible to fulfill. The app itself is useful but lazy and shouldn't be charging to use.

For the most part, I very much like this app. The main issue I have is that the Switch version will not let you trade, which seems really weird considering the games themselves are on console, not mobile. 1 quality of life change I'd like (other than the option to trade through the app on console) is to be able to sort through Pokémon transferable to a specific game by their number in game. This is mainly for me to complete my BD Pokédex a bit more easily.

Great app. I enjoy storing and organizing my pokemon. It essentially does exactly what you think. Also, the trade feature is hella great. I often get legendaries in the Wonder box. However, here are some big issues. Organizing - on the Switch you use boxes. On the mobile you use labels. Just give us a consistent organizing feature. Can't hold items - this is a bummer. Different feature - it's but of a QOL but the features between the Switch and Mobile are too different.
