2/10 - Awful

I tried to like it, I really did. Even aside from the fact that its mostly broken, it's just a terrible game at its core. This isn’t Pokemon its just shovelware garbage.
>>
Did you actually expect a full Pokemon AR clone?
Nigga
>>
but at least you'll lose weight from all that walking!
>>
that's because you were expecting a game and not just an excuse to go out and walk around and socialize

If people want to play a real Pokemon game, they would have played a real Pokemon game.

Kek are you triggered you numale kuk fag? No matter how much your gay-ass temporary and inferior movement tries to dominate modern sociology you'll NEVER be able to drown out the vocal minority who still see the truth. Revolution is coming shitbag, you'd better pray it's forgiving.

Silly anon, if you want to play Pokemon just buy the games on your Nintendo 3DS or 2DS! You can download them and battle to your hearts content!

Don't forget about Sun and Moon this Fall!

You don't like pokemon go because you are a shut in beta who is socially awkward and afraid of human interaction.

8/10 - Pretty good

Though I don't like how the servers shit themselves when the school shooters wake up
Also they should add trading, that would be a great addition

Game sucks HARD when it's bad with shit like glitches or server bugs.
it's pretty nifty when it works.
The design of it is as simple as possible and I doubt much thought was put into it outside of "We want people to play together"
They didn't really balance shit for city and rural fags.
Also the power gap can get nausieating especially if you can't cap anything good
Candies kind of suck but it does make those rare pokemon even more special and local to certain players. It's kind of cool being the grass guy and meeting the rock guy or something.
The nearby radar system is fucking shit lol.

When it works it's okay.

6/10
This has so much potential.

Shout out to the gps network though.
modern online video games can't handle a few million users but some 16 year old space computers can handle hundreds of millions of users perfectly every time.

The power gap seems like the worst part. Everything feels pointless because somehow every local gym has a 1000cp leader and I'm stuck with a 600cp pidgeot that I grinded for days to get. The lack of features makes this much much worse, and the rampant glitches and bugs make the game even more frustrating. I love everything this is, but fuck it sucks.

>This isn't pokemon

Yeah it is. That's why it's so popular.

Fuck ingress. Unless something's drastically changed since I uninstalled that it's no fucking fun at all. The power gap between level 8 autists and everyone else is so wide there's really no point to playing.
>>
>>344839404

If just the word triggers you, you should seek therapy. It's not normal behavior to become upset because of a single word regardless of context.
>>
>>344840840
Good on them, I guess? There are a lot of cars and people where I live and staring at my phone too long doesn't make me feel safe
>>
>>344841450
it seems like this is the direction go immediately took, which is a shame. it's too bad they don't have more features that make just casually playing it rewarding - finding a new pokemon gets a little old when you know you can't do shit with it until you fucking quit your job
>>
>>344840941
I hope so, if CP is not replaced by a proper level system then im going to suck some dick

>>344841815
I've heard once that there's a soft cap at level 20 so people can't get too far ahread.
I haven't heard it somewhere outside 4chan or an official source so I'm still skeptical that that's true.
>>
>>344841940
probably had like an hour to make the animation and to avoid copyright violation
>>
>>344841949
soft cap? either way then it probably becomes luck. Not to mention you need stardust to power up and you can't even buy that shit, you just gotta grind
>>
>>344841815
>you can't do shit with it until you fucking quit your job
that's where p2w element will come into play later

>>344841917
Well yeah, that and bikers, people walking around, things in my way, etc. I just look at my surroundings

I'm already bored and it's only been out for like a week.

I'll finish the pokedex but nintendo can go fuck themselves if they think i'm going to play this for longer than a month.

>>344840941
yes as they have confirmed that the version aviable as of now is entirely bare bones and that stuff like pokestops and gyms will get functionality added to them eventually.

still as a scavenger hunt the game is pretty dang alright
>>
>>344842045
as in, 20 -> 21 takes more than 15 -> 20, and 21+ takes exponentially more XP to reach
Again, I haven't actually confirmed this so that anon could have been talking out his ass.
