I'm only saying this because the game is perfect for mobile play, especially when doing repetitive tasks such as EV training and searching for rare poke, but it's very hard to play on mobile, on a 6 inch screen at least (android).
From what it looks like the scale is max so that the menu would not intersect with the pokemon list and I guess this is why it has been done this way. Still, the game would have way more value if it could be played comfortably on mobile. I think it's alright if the menu intersects a bit (better than squinting when reading attacks). If there will be a GUI update like a dropdown for the menu, I also suggest making the open/close chat more accessible for mobile players, but even without that it would a great game to grind when having to wait on a bus, in line or whatever.
