Not a fan of the latest version

I’m not a fan of the change of where the button is to analyze the Pokemon

its alright

its fun but its mostly pay to win and unless your in a big city or youre rich you cant get much done

Stupid game

I was transferring all the best stuff from my offline account on the new good account I logged off for a day and it got deleted

Problems with the game

There are quite a few things that are really infuriating about this game, you can only earn 50 poke coins a day, I’ve lost over 400 poke coins to this annoying rule. Another is whenever I battle with master league I find people with Pokemon that are over 4500 cp and get demolished even when mine are in the 3000s. You can’t trade with friends if they aren’t close to you unless you get best friend’s status with that friend. Also ultra balls don’t act like ultra balls, they don’t make it much easier to catch a Pokemon. A lot of the time during raids I will only get 10 premier balls to catch the raid boss, when it’s a legendary, it makes it very hard to catch it in 10 throws, especially if you miss. Those are most of the problems with this game. Otherwise most of the other parts of the game are fine.

Lost my Pikachu

I found a Pikachu, but I lost it one star

Horrible Battles

The battles are the biggest joke

The best game on the planet

Soo good

Fun in our but too many struggle

This game is really fun, but the struggle is that for the raids it cost money for coins, and when you beat the raids, sometimes it’s really hard to catch the Pokémon and you end up wasting a lot of money cause you can’t even catch them

Spawns

Spawn points have come back, at least for me and my neighbors. When they were decreased back in July (only had 2 total) they increased to a nice amount. 8 or more depending where we are at around the house. And our local pokestops and gyms have more spawns too. Hopefully Scopely can make better adjustments in the future for everyone. Thank you for making the game better.

Enough with the stupid raid events all the time!!!!!!!!!

I CANT DO ANYTHING ALL DAY!!!!!!!!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬ITS JUST ME!!!! NO FRIENDS!!!!! NO TIME!!!

Do not play if you want to play with people

The game will lag and freeze especially if you join a community or having a good time, literally

just play

you can get injured like me currently and still be ok if you cant really walk anywhere for the time being because the game is still generous enough to let you do things stationary

Mythical Trades

Fun game, but make it where you can trade the mythical pokemon that’s not from research. I have lots of Darkrai and Deoxys that I do not need but you make the only tradeable Mythical Meltan/Melmetal which isn’t even a true Mythical. I understand not trading pokemon like Celebi, Mew or Jirachi but what am I supposed to do with my 15 Deoxys or Darkrai?

Side note, I noticed you changed how long it takes to hit all the type bubbles in PvP when you go to release your Charged Attack and not a fan of it but will try to get used to it.

Changes messing up game play

I’ve been playing since 2016. It’s been great fun. But lately the new owners have been making frequent changes that are annoying or confusing. For example changing how you get information about a Pokémon you caught without changing the FAQ to match the new system. And not answering bug reports. This move fast and break things approach turns play into work. I suggest waiting until the new owners have settled down and stopped continually modifying game play mechanics. Or plan to spend a lot of time on the Reddit Pokemon Go feeds and similar online communities. If I didn’t have friends who played I would probably quit.

Really?

I saw a shiny Alolan vulpix and I didn’t have any pokeballs so I couldn’t catch it, why is this so hard?! It’s a kids game. I hope you fix it so it can really be five stars, I only put it as five stars because if it’s 1 star it isn’t shown because that’s how it works, shadowban the 1 star ratings.

Trade

Why can we not trade already traded Pokémon like i want to get better Pokémon but because of this rule I can’t

Pretty boring

Add more shinys

THE MOST GOATED and smart GAME EVER

Me and my boyfriend like this game and we freak out everytime we get a cool looking Pokémon💪😛😝💕

Hardly playable if you don’t live in a city

I used to love this game but since they raised the price of remote raid passes a few years ago it’s really unfair for people who don’t live in the city. I’m not sure why they can’t account for people who don’t have as much access.
The gym system is also ridiculous for when people can dominate every gym if they live on top of it so there is no way for anyone else to make coins. It really sucks if you live in a town with like 3 gyms right on top of each other and some people decide no one else is allowed to play. I don’t understand why they can’t make it so people get even like an hour before getting kicked out or something because it’s honestly just a very unfair system.
