'''''Pokémon Quest''''' is a free-to-start spin-off of the ''[[Pokémon]]'' series, developed by [[Game Freak]] and published by [[Nintendo]]/The Pokémon Company for the [[Nintendo Switch]] and smartphone devices. The Nintendo Switch version was released in North America on May 29, 2018, with the rest of the world getting it a day after. The mobile version was released for the iOS and Android devices on June 27, 2018.

* [[Action Bomb]]: Some wild Pokémon like Exeggcute, Voltorb, and Koffing are set to use Selfdestruct/Explosion a few seconds after they appear. These can inflict massive damage if not outright [[One-Hit Kill]] the player's Pokémon, but they usually have lower HP than the non-exploding equivalent, so it is recommended to take them out quickly or hit the Scatter button when they are about to explode.
* [[Adaptation Distillation]]: Compared to the main games, only thePokémon firstfrom 150the [[Pokémon Red and Blue|first generation]] are available (thus, no Dark-type Pokémon exist in this game), Pokémon can only have up to two moves (like in the ''[[Pokémon Rumble]]'' series), [[Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors]] is absent (type-based [[Geo Effects]] is implemented instead), and all evolution uses the level-up requirement.
* [[Alliterative Name]]: Most area names: Gloomy Grove, Backforth Brook, Perched Peak, Pincushion Plain, Miasma Moor, Hushed Highlands, Nightlight Nook, and Farside Fjord.
* [[Anti-Poopsocking]]: The game uses a "battery" system (basically the "stamina" system used in most free-to-play mobile games) that is consumed every time the player goes out to explore. It can only be refilled by either waiting for it to recharge, finishing certain quests, or using PM Tickets. The battery has a fixed max amount that can be extended, but only by buying the expansion pack(s).
Line 40:
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Pokémon with high Attack but low HP.
* [[Green Hill Zone]]: First Steppe is a green area that, as its name suggests, is the first accessible dungeon (and thus an easy dungeon) in the game.
* [[Guide Dang It]]:
* [[Guide Dang It]]:* Cooking recipes (which contain hints on what kind of Pokémon will be attracted to them), until players know the hints from the ingredients' descriptions (or experiment by themselves), are this. After that, there is the recipe for the better quality food of that type (especially Special) that makes the player more likely to attract rarer Pokémon.
** Some of the Challenge quests are this as well, as the unrevealed ones (marked with ???) can only be cleared by trial and error. For example, who would have thought that {{spoiler|evolving all three Pokémon in the team at once counts as an achievement}}?
** Since all evolution in this game requires level-up, Pokémon that do not normally evolve this way in the main games have their required levels a [[Guide Dang It]]. Eevee is the most notable example as it is the only one with branched evolution. Turns out that fiddling with the Power Stones attached to it is the key.
* [[Herd-Hitting Attack]]: Moves that hit in an area of effect. Broadburst Stones can be attached to certain moves to increase their attack radius further.
* [[Hit Points]]: One of the two main Pokémon stats in this game.
* [[An Interior Designer Is You]]: The player's Base Camp (more like Exterior) can be decorated with decorative items obtained from explorations and Poké Mart.
* [[Life Meter]]: Shown during explorations, both player's Pokémon and wild Pokémon.
* [[Loads and Loads of Characters]]: As expected for a monster-collecting game. This game features the entire [[Pokémon Red and Blue (Video Game)|Kanto]] roster sans Mew.
* [[Metal Slime]]: Chansey, as expected. She rarely appears in certain stages, but once encountered, the player only has a few seconds to defeat her (unsurprisingly, she has high HP) before she starts fleeing and then disappears.
* [[Microtransactions]]: The player can buy PM Tickets and special downloadable content with real money.
Line 52 ⟶ 55:
** The Premier Ball Model decor is awarded for buying 10 decoration items at the Poké Mart, a reference to the main games rewarding a Premier Ball from buying 10 Poké Balls.
** Due to the 3D pixel art aesthetic, the Pokémon cries used are taken from [[Pokémon Black and White|the fifth]] [[Pokémon Black 2 and White 2|generation games]].
** Eevee is one of the starter [[Mon]]s in this game. Eevee has been a starter in other spinoffs such as ''Pokémon XD: Gale of Darkness'', ''[[Pokémon Mystery Dungeon]]'', and ''[[Pokémon Conquest]]''.
** Like in the original ''[[Pokémon Red and Blue]]'', {{spoiler|Mew is obtainable despite the Pokédex only listing 150 species at first}}.
* [[Not Allowed to Grow Up]]: The player can set the Everstone button to "on" if they want their particular Pokémon to not evolve.
* [[Olympus Mons]]: Yes, Legendaries appear in this game too.
* [[Palette Swap]]: Shiny Pokémon can be found and befriended in this game.
* [[Play Every Day]]: While not exactly every day (it is actually every 22 hours), the game will reward the player with 50 PM Tickets (more with Poké Ball Model decorations) from the Poké Mart daily. A random Pokémon can also show up in the Base Camp every 22 hours as well.
* [[Player MooksMook]]s: The befriended Pokémon are basically these for the player.
* [[Post-Endgame Content]]: Beating the game {{spoiler|will unlock Happenstance Island}}.
* [[Punny Name]]: First Steppe is the first step to the many dungeons of Tumblecube Island.
* [[Random Drop]]: Defeated wild Pokémon may drop random loot.
* [[Random Number God]]: The basis of what Pokémon species will be lured by the player's cooking, its Power Charm slots, its moves (which is then divided into whether the Pokémon has one move or two), and its starting level, and its stats.
* [[Rare Random Drop]]: Stuff like Power Stones (from non-bosses) and Rainbow Matter are rarer drops from enemies. Move Stones, a kind of Power Stone that powers up moves, are dropped even more rarely.
* [[Regenerating Health]]: The player's Pokémon regenerate a small amount of health every few seconds during explorations.
Line 72 ⟶ 77:
* [[Upgrade Artifact]]: The Power Stones, which power up a Pokémon equipping them.
* [[When All You Have Is a Hammer]]: It is possible for a recruited Pokémon to only possess one move slot, though this is offset with it being able to be powered up with up to three Move Stones, allowing multiple advantageous effects to be applied to a single move at once more so than moves that can equip less.
* [[Wolfpack Boss]]: Three strong Dodrio are fought at the same time at the end of Farside Fjord's Stage 10-5.
* [[You Have Researched Breathing]]: Some of the Bingo bonuses allow for seemingly obvious effects associated with the Pokémon that should have been there in the first place, like making Poison-types immune to the Poison status effect.
