Ban for no reason

10 years not a game worth downloading and playing pay to play only to get ban for no reason don’t waste your time or money many of my friends been affected by the ban

Awesome game

This game is super fun and gets your body moving, you get inspired to play and move your body, easily the best game of all

GPS signal not found

Each time I minimize the app and then resize it I get the GPS signal not found. Causing me to have to close out the app entirely and reopen it. Very frustrating

Hi

Can you please add the paradox Pokemon please?

Was fun more when is first started

Adding all the extra rules has ruined this game and Team Rocket rules. Now can’t even battle Giovanni and he hasn’t been showing up anywhere and through Twenty Premier balls at a legendary still couldn’t catch it.

Great

I think this game is good for people that like mythical creatures and people who like to adventure and people who like battle and catch Pokémon and people who like to complete events and quests

This game is fun but addictive.

I love this game a lot. It’s super fun but sometimes it feels addictive. My brother and mom play too and we went to mall of America and they were on Pokémon go the whole time. But I guess I can’t blame them. GOTTA CATCH EM ALL!

Love it but I have some concerns.

Love this game it is a part of my childhood. I wish though it was less forceful with you trying to play with other people, the joy in Pokémon go is playing it by yourself in my opinion. And the massive amount of people saying they got permanently banned and worrying me. It is still fun but I miss the old Pokemon go I do agree that Pokemon go has become greedy money grabbers. But I will still play because it helps with my mental health. Thank you Pokemon Go for being apart of my childhood.

Thanks

Thank you Pokémon go I have been playing for 2.5 years now and I did not like it when you Chang the charging up sound effects now that you change it back I look forward every day to play it

Gifts

I think that we should be able to gift friends stuff from the shop like remote raid passes.

Battle won’t open

Battle won’t start

Optimization

Please fix the app for iPhone Duo optimizations for outer and inner screen and keep it updated regularly.

Ugh

The ads are just a minute long static screen. Whoever did that should be strung up by their toes.

Poor customer service

Bought Remote raid passages and the first time I used it the game messed up and wouldn’t let me try to catch the Pokemon(Zacian) after the raid part was finished. Tried customer service and it was all bots, and all it said was that the raid was successful and that they would not be reimbursing me for the game messing up. So I don’t believe I’ll purchasing anything else from the store if they can’t stand behind their product. So buyer beware!

Love pokemon but jeeze

Man I sure do love Pokémon but its not really fun using an app that trains ai and drones to kill small children just cause they’re brown. Pretty awful decision on the people in charges’ part. Also the app crashes all the time and they just keep forcing the same lame o Pokémon on you in the wild 24 seven. But most importantly maybe don’t make an war training app disguised as a kids game.

Creepy

Asked for my card information or the last 4digits of my social security number, really creepy and they don’t need it for a game my kid wants
