Coromon Preview Cons:

It is a Pokemon rip.
Takes a little while to get used to it all.
The random fights can get overwhelming and repetitive.
The pool of Coromon feels small initially as you get the same ones over and over.
Slow starter.
The game asks for data collection from your account which is weird.
