Not pay to win, but certainly pay to look cool. Good game. Lots of content, good community.

Started playing on release. Recently uninstalled due to game devs pushing game into a poor direction for rural players. Some Pokémon become unattainable due to new events. Passes are a waste of money, just feel forgotten about and left out because of my location.
In the times I did play in the past it was fun and nostalgic of the old games, but this has wavered far from that at this point.
