Pokémon GO

I’ve been playing since day 2 (day 1 was overloaded so game wasn’t available) because I love pokemon and this game concept was amazing at the time… Except for the part of the supposed RNG. Pokemon with high stats seem way rarer now, especially in raids, and hundo (perfect stats) even more. Shinies are so scarce even with shiny boost and I’m just talking about my personal experience. You got other people getting x3 the amount I’d get and it’s almost always the same people because I’m in a community group. I play everyday since Day 2 and yet no shundos (shiny hundos). I know for a fact devs modify rates for new or players who don’t play much because they get great stuff easily, and this has been tested. It was easier to get good mons from trades, now every time I “lucky trade” with someone the best it’s the lowest 3* mon. EVERY SINGLE TIME, no kidding. I did it last time with community members and 3 lucky trades the same day were like that. They used to surprised me. Get me excited. Now seems like they nerfed them all. On top of all this, just today I watched a bunch of “community ambassadors/influencers” got invited to an exclusive event in NY and got a guaranteed hundo Mega Mewtwo Y with a background. I’m stoked for Mega Mewtwo, but it’s sad my expectations are very low since I got the worst luck in this game apparently. If you got FOMO, avoid at all costs. I’ll remember to change this review if I see any changes, but expectations are very low for how things are going.

I won a raid, but the app crashed immediately afterward before I received the Pokémon encounter. I submitted a support ticket with a clear screenshot of my journal, which showed exactly what happened and confirmed I had completed the raid. Despite providing evidence, my request was automatically denied and the ticket was closed without any meaningful review. Crashes happen, but what is most frustrating is the lack of customer support. It feels like legitimate issues are being handled by automated responses instead of an actual person reviewing the evidence. Players invest time, raid passes, and often money into this game. When technical issues occur, there should be a fair process to resolve them.

I used to have this app as able to hook it up to my camera and I can walk around and see Pokémon everywhere but I’m no longer able to do that and there were three Pokémon in my whole neighborhood and I’m not allowed to leave the neighborhood so I am stuck with three Pokémon this app sucks it won’t let me look through camera to see Pokémon and it used to. They have done a horrible job.

I guess it’s ok to have gross and highly juvenile names. Having pee in a name passes, so is calling your self a big pervert or referencing your… “prowess”. Heck you farting fire is ok for a name too! Seems like as long as it’s not really horrible- it’s ok to be gross!

Game is okay, but the battles are rigged. Always get beat to tie breaker of who gets the charged attack, opponent gets charged attacks at 1% life but you don’t even though you spam the charge attack 6x before your Pokémon dies, can’t even swap your Pokémon before an opponent attack. Play the rest of the game but avoid battles, they’re broken.

Overall good, fun to do, the updates sometimes suck and the game it self has a couple of annoying bugs, it’s still fun I would recommend it if you liked past Pokemon games I would rate it exactly 4.6. G-bye!

Middle of GoFest, and the app crashes EVERY SINGLE TIME I finish a raid. Highly annoying.

It’s the biggest event of the year, and the latest version of the game is seriously broken. Game crashes after each and every raid. I’ve tried every solution I see posted, but none work. Local raids are a pain, as I can sometimes restart and catch the Pokemon, but ONLY if the gym’s timer is still going. And I can’t even think about remote raids. I’ve lost a lot of raid passes with no rewards. What a joke.
