A lot of players are actually speculating this since all the Pokemon are available to ‘buy’. Unfortunately for the F2P side, they’ll have to unlock all of the Pokemon individually. This is not all, there are specific attack, defense, speed, and HP stats that you can boost individually.

And this is really where the pay-to-win side shows up. You can buy such stats enhancers and stack them up (up to 30x). Players can earn Aeos up to 2100 Aeos Coins which can be used in the Aeos Emporium, this is where you get the item enhancers. Even the upgrades for them cost you money or you can choose to do it the hard way.
