YMMV / Aola Star

• It's Easy, So It Sucks!: Many quests are easy to finish. The required the enemies to face in each quest are usually in ridiculously low levels, very little effort is required, and sometimes you ally with a character at level 100 when facing a stronger opponent in the quest.
• Low-Tier Letdown: To competitive players, Yabis with a power rank of 6 (which is considered low) are met with disapproval, even when they don't come out yet.
• Nightmare Fuel: Before it got updated, the screen that appears every hour shows HELLO exercising, and advises players to exercise or take a break. At one point, two hands from portals out of nowhere appeared and initially made HELLO terrified and but jump ropes afterwards. Even though it is intended to be funny, it looks rather disturbing.
• Sidetracked by the Gold Saucer: The minigames will pull players into them, especially if they have desirable rewards.
• "Stop Having Fun" Guys: Similar to the competitive Pokémon community, there are people who take a Yabi's strength seriously in competition. To any upcoming Yabi whose power rank is revealed, expect reactions to it.
• Tear Jerker: Baiyu ai yi's backstory, whom in the end matured after a losing its guardian.
• Fandom Rivalry: There are many rivalries between the mon series fanbase.
  • Pokémon fans in particular are the most vocal in accusing Aola Star along with many other similar mon games of plagiarizing the game mechanics, and that the animated movies are shoddy knockoffs.
  • SEER and Roco Kingdom were created by Taomee and Tencent respectively. These three fandoms do not get along with each others and often accuse each other of plagiarizing gameplay and mon designs. It doesn't help that all of these fanbases are mostly young kids, ensuring petty conflict.
• Video Game Movies Suck: The 2015 animated movie is... not good. It has poor animation, a bland story, and is only for children. Older fans of the online game will give it a pass.
• They Copied It, So It Sucks!: A number of people are quick to accuse Aola Star franchise of copying Pokemon, considering the amount of ideas the latter steals from the former (such as Poke Balls, a number of mon designs, etc.).
