Para: Equipo de desarrollo de Pokémon GO
La falta de accesibilidad en Pokémon GO para las personas que utilizamos lectores de pantalla (como TalkBack o VoiceOver) es simplemente inaceptable. La aplicación carece casi por completo de etiquetas para elementos de la interfaz, botones descriptivos y mapas legibles para tecnologías de asistencia. Esto deja a los usuarios con discapacidad visual completamente excluidos de la experiencia de juego.
Es frustrante que una franquicia tan importante e innovadora ignore las pautas básicas de accesibilidad móvil. Poder navegar por la interfaz, gestionar el inventario, capturar Pokémon o interactuar con las funciones del mapa no debería ser un privilegio, sino una característica garantizada para todos. Exigimos que implementen soporte real e integral para lectores de pantalla en las próximas actualizaciones. La inclusión no es opcional.

Hellcat

It is a amazing game

Glitchy

Literally every single time I battle I hit my charged moves and somehow they get to do theirs first. Every. Single. Time. So dumb. Will be deleting the next time it happens, because how tf does that happen EVERY SINGLE TIME

Too fun

It’s good if you actually like Pokémon and I love the fact how once you play it you have a load of YouTubers to give you guides but I recommend Mystic7

Only Cares About Your Wallet

They do not care about you. They only care about what is in your wallet. They allow hackers to take over your account and will not help you get it back. Even after providing absolutely every single proof it’s your account.

👍🏼

Perfection

Devs mess it up

They switch battle league around so much just so you have to get more pokemon. They mess up this game

Best game

Five stas

Can’t sign in easy.

I wish you didn’t have a account to play… otherwise amazing!
I need FREE Pokéballs, not ones you can only buy.

Meh

Game kinda sucks, it’s pay to play - as you can’t win because there are so many bugs, battles stink too because if you’re good you get hard walled every game by the 3 best characters and very annoying just fainting instead of throwing a move, the raids are too difficult and so unenjoyable just standing there tapping. I have multiple mega max level and can’t even do them myself so have to use a 4th party app and pay 2$ every time. The game ain’t bad eggs or BTD battles that’s for sure. It has constant updates and somehow that’s not even a good thing as they just want more money and more interaction. You get the very best stuff and just get hard walled by black hair and glasses matchmaking anyway like I said

Character Customization

The game is great and fun! My biggest gripe however is the limited character customization. It is obvious that this games target audience leans more male, as the lack of female clothes to male clothes is very prominent. Also when we do get two options the female clothes is always cropped and short leaving much of their body showing. Meanwhile the female ‘only’ clothes are extremely frumpy. Nothing is wrong with showing skin or covering up, but there is no in between for the average woman. Also the game has an extremely low amount of options for female hair styles, female face shapes, and weirdly enough boob options. You have to turn the boob meter almost completely up just so your boobs show and you don’t look like a boy character. All we need is more customization options. Plain tee shirts and jeans that we can change the colors of at least, and I AM BEGGING YOU, the option to tuck in your shirt. Good outfit combos look horrible in game because of that. I just want a cool character that looks like me to catch Pokémon with. Is that so hard?

It’s really really creepy

The Pokémon kept on staring at me and he said I was gonna kill

Goted

It’s very fun cool and amazing to play and catch em all

Fart heads

This is one of the best games ever but I don’t like how it makes me go spin a pokestop in the turtorial and I want to battle so badly!

GARBAGE Customer support

I’ve been playing this game since it came out. I got “temporary restrictions” on my account but they can’t tell me why or when they drop off. I reached out to support and all I get is automated responses. I was even in a party while doing party challenges which basically means that I PHYSICALLY had to be there to play the game. I literally couldn’t have used a third party app to spoof. At this point I don’t think I’ll get my account back since Niantic doesn’t have a real customer service set up. Long story short, save yourself the time. It’s a complete joke of a company and more so they have no respect for long time customers.

Update: Got a strike because their system is junk. Customer support is a joke and is all automated. Terrible company. The shadow raids are junk now as well, seems like they give you bad IV’s to make you keep spending money.
