Poor loyalty to customers

Pokemon go is a fun and great game. Been a an avid player for several years, however recent customer/player support has been poor leading me to write this review. I would not recommend this game anymore unfortunately and due to recent experiences with the help center I will likely stay clear of financial supporting the game with purchases. Don’t currently recommend playing Pokemon go
