Pokemon GO

Was playing pokemong go for a while With the recent update Niantic showed their true face Not recommended to anybody to play pokemon go at tis point, avatars look ugly, removing items from shop Hopefully someone will remake pokemon go who actually cares about their playerbase

Raid passes went up, and theres no guarantee that you catch the pokemon in the first place!!! Rip off not playing anymore.

This review is based on my opinions over the current issues and I suggest common solutions brainstorming ideas how to fix the game from a hobbyist gamers' point of view. Pokémon Go needs several new upgrades and need to run more affordable deals in their shop or drop the prices of the merchandise in the game of store. Pokemon GO current issues are the avatars their not fully customizable as they claimed in the new updated version of Pokémon Go. The female avatars are not as appealing to the eye due to the update causing them to lose their classic feminmine charm. Pokémon Go added different body sizes from very slim to plus size to the avatars however they failed to make better clothing options for the plus avaters due to the old merchandise (clothing) does glitch on the plus size avaters or doesn't look that well on the new avaters so choosing an outfit for a plus size avatar can be challenging. But however as far customizable avatars Pokémon Go didn't add a height measurement scale feature to shorten or make the avaters tall. Other Missing features with the customizing your avater: arms, shoulders,legs, and hips scales are not available features to your personalized avatar so customizing the avatars does have their limitations. The new hairstyles could use more options for different hairstyles their limited also. Pokémon Go should add makeup as a feature to the female avatars to help make them look more feminmine. The female avatars look too masculine in my opinion. Pokémon Go it's time for the store have a major upgrade for clothing. Okay, now we have the avaters talked about now lets continue on the next few flaws. Once a friendship has reached full maximum of "Lucky Friends" please fix the issues most users have when someone decides to delete a user make sure both parties gets equal experience points. If someone deletes a user they should get what experience points both parties earned during the time of being friends. The System is out dated as far trying to level up by yourself the raid bosses are too hard to solo raid bosses by yourself and specialty if you live rural places where not many people play the game or if the user doesn't have that any friends and their all low levels on the game it does matter how strong your Pokémon are and if their able to battle raid bosses but most likely you have turn other individuals for help when leveling up and to battle raid bosses unfortunately you'll be awhile leveling up individually and most like unable to take on a 3 or higher star raid battle by yourself. Most users turn to these Pokemon Go social groups on social media to add random users to collect daily gifts and to add random people to help with raids. I feel like you shouldn't have to add a bunch of random people around the world just to level up in a game thats my opinion there should be more tasks or daily missions to earn more free stardust and other merchandise along with more experience points going towards leveling up more quickly. Daily limit and Pokecoins limits. Daily limit shouldn't be anymore due to having to add random people on the game means accepting alot of gifts to earn friendship exp and your exp level. People buy storage why not change the daily limit to storage bag limit? This makes so much more sense and storage prices are more affordable than buying most of the items out of shop and you grow your storage bag by 50 plus more items to accumulate for the users by accepting the gifts from the people on the friends list or atleast make the daily limit more flexible towards the friends list if a user has 100 friends you should be able to open 40-50 gifts from their friends. Another helpful feature that could be helpful add a automatic button that opens all gifts at once. Raid passes is another issue in this matter Pokémon Go dont refund the raid passes once in a lobby and if the lobby goes empty and its just you remaining in the lobby because everyone in that ghosted you in that lobby you get the feeling everyone wasted a raid pass before even battling the raid boss and I feel like this a ripoff if your a low level and you're trusting the lobby to stay there but they all ghost you by leaving the lobby completely. Pokecoins shouldn't have a limit if you get back your Pokémon out of gyms as a prize for defending the gym. Thats bad news when you get more pokemon knocked out gyms and for someone trying not to spend alot of money on the game...

Very dangerous game, I've had over 600 people tresspassing because of this game. People have tried running over our animals on my property because we wont allow them to tresspass. The support is a -100/10 I have emailed them on multiple occasions since the game came out around 2016 and they haven't been ANY HELP. This game should be shut down for the safety of everyone. I've heard of countless people dying because of this game and the game takes 0 fault. Absolutely disgusting people.

It is awesome

Pokémon GO is an augmented reality game made in collaboration between Nintendo and Niantic. The game is based on geolocation, meaning that where the player's avatar appears in the game depends on where the player is standing in real life. As the player walks, he or she can interact with different landmarks and collect items in specific locations around the world. The game's primary genre is augmented reality (AR), though it can be classified under adventure or fitness due to the app's encouragement of players to get outside and move around. There is no primary audience for Pokémon GO — just anyone who wants to get outside and have a good time catching all kinds of Pokémon! Anyone can play, as long as they are able to traverse around cities or suburbs where Pokémon hubs are located and where items/creatures can be found. The app is currently on version 0.251.0, and it is frequently being updated with new content and bug fixes. Pokémon from different eras are represented, and the Niantic team does its best to keep adding new ones and special events. The game runs on iOS, Android, and iPadOS. Best of all, the app is totally free! There are in-app purchases that allow players to hoard more items. This increases their ease and ability to succeed and catch more Pokémon; however, it does not prevent free players from having just as great of a time. Pokémon GO is great because it balances relaxing gameplay with physical activity and socialization. The whole point of Pokémon GO is to GO outside and get some fresh air. Unless a person lives directly above a hotspot where Pokémon creatures spawn and items drop, it is impossible to play the game without moving. This directly combats the sedentary lifestyles video games are known for inducing in players. The game has no story, so there are very few attitudes in writing and storytelling that new players should be aware of. If anything, the attitudes presented by the app are the importance of being physically active and taking care of the Earth. Pokémon GO encourages teamwork in addition to healthy rivalry. Players join teams that are regularly pitted against one another to take over vantage points through Pokémon battles. This means players must get to know their fellow team members and work together in order to win. This encourages players to see the dignity of the human person inherently present in his/her teammates. This dignity is often overlooked in other games' lobbies, where people shout cuss words at each other if a match is lost or for no reason at all. In this game, the Pokémon creatures themselves are the player's buddies. They can walk around with the player and work together to win battles. This aspect of the Pokémon franchise has been under attack historically by individuals who think Pokémon encourages animal fighting. This is not the case because Pokémon love their trainers and cooperate willingly with them. Trainers can give their Pokémon berries as treats, which nourish them and make them happy. The Pokémon also help the trainers to rescue Pokémon that have been enslaved by non-playable characters in the game. The truth is there: Pokémon are friends who fight against animal cruelty. This teaches young players to love their Pokémon, extending to loving their real-life pets. The game is inspiring because it truly does make a person want to go outside. The whole world being filled with mysterious, powerful Pokémon is enough to get me off of my feet. We can see just how inspiring Pokémon GO is based on the millions of people who swarmed the outdoors on the app's launch day. Creating AR games, let alone good ones, is not an easy feat. Niantic did a great job at skillfully developing a game that plays well, functions as it should, and makes physical activity addictingly fun. The amount of new content being added is always overwhelming; heck, even the amount of Pokémon there are in the game right now is stunning. How can I ever catch 'em all?! I personally love Pokémon GO because it shows that the developers know a lot about human psychology. This app is the perfect tool to get our media-consumed generation outdoors and interacting. The app was clearly motivated by human experience. The developers probably asked themselves what it would take to get them off of their couches, and that was where Pokémon GO was born. The thrill of catching a rare Pokémon and showing it to one's friends is inexpressible in words. Special events, too, are tailored toward scratching players' itches for catching as many special, rare Pokémon as possible in a short timeframe. The developers know exactly what the fans want! While I understand that some people can get overly absorbed with this game (looking down at their phones all the time and putting themselves in danger by playing while driving), I feel that this app is face-value more beneficial than others. If we're comparing apps, I would rather have someone playing Pokémon GO outside and walking around (more or less) than have someone playing Candy Crush inside. At least there is somewhat of an integral social aspect to the game, though it can be overlooked by those who are crafty enough and who really don't want to talk to people. As for driving while playing, the game does have a speed monitor that shuts you out if you are going too fast, meaning that if someone is driving while playing, the app will shut them out. This is to deter people from playing the game while driving, exposing themselves and others to dangerous situations. I give Pokémon GO a 5/5-star rating because it encourages social activity and exercise, and it is fun to play for all ages.

I can play right in the bar, they often appear in my favorite bar :D

It's a great game, with great community, sometimes a bit repetitive but if you get into it it will push you to meet some real people outside and go for walks.

Was a loyal player but Niantic is just a money hungry company with no respect for its customers

Is fast
