Top 10 Reasons Why Pokémon Go Isn't that Fun Anymore
Pokémon Go was exciting at first, but now it's lost a lot of its charm. Looking for reasons why? Here you go.Gyms are now always level 9 or 10, with strong 2000+ CP Pokémon. I get that it's part of the game, but when all teams, especially your own, use that strategy, it's impossible to take down or add to a gym. No more free coins!
Gym battles can be won if you are willing to exhaust your potions and let all your good Pokémon faint as you slowly wear down the Gym's prestige. I live next to a gym, so it's worth the sacrifice!
My family and I took a gym a few nights ago. My cousin has a strategy where she takes all her friends from the same team, and they all fight the gym at the same time.
What if you don't live in the city? What if there are hardly any PokéStops or gyms in your area? It makes it really lame if you walk around your town but all you get are Pidgeys and Rattatas.
This is why I'm taking a long break from the game. Even when I walk around my neighborhood, I'm always about to scream, "Come on Niantic, there are other Pokémon!"
You need to turn off AR. Enough said.
Even with AR turned off, it drains my phone's battery way too much.
Pokémon Go destroyed my phone's battery, and it was the reason I had to get a new phone.
Players lose concentration when they are going places while playing Pokémon Go. They might cross the street and get run over because they just want to continue playing.
These idiots in the middle of the street got in the way of our bus and almost got hit because they were playing Pokémon Go!
They should be very careful while playing this game.
I wouldn't choose any of the teams in the game. As a longtime fan of the series, I've learned never to trust any group that goes by "Team." They are usually the bad guys. In this case, all three teams in Pokémon Go are villains.
Sure, I'm a Team Valor member with a T-shirt and phone case (don't ask), but I don't fight people. I just argue.
My teacher and her husband are red. My teacher and my friend are red. My other friend is blue. My family and I are yellow, yet we all get along.
Finding a dead body, getting robbed, and many more.
Those lures. People could get kidnapped!
They think the person is a robber and shoot them. Lesson learned.
The game is unworthy of the Pokémon industry. It has lost its touch. In my opinion, the older Pokémon games felt more real. Catching, training, and battling Pokémon play a big role in engaging your brain. I would rather play Pokémon Emerald repeatedly than touch Pokémon Go. They should focus on making the DS games more realistic and imaginative.
The Newcomers
I waited so long for the Sinnoh update, and after researching, I finally found out that you cannot get a Shinx in the wild no matter what!
That's why the main series will always be better.
I can't believe this wasn't on the list.
Best and most useful glitch, hands down.
Other evolutions existed, so why didn't they include them?
Finally! Someone agrees with me. I want to see something new! Is that too much to ask?
You won't believe how long I spent leveling up my Pokémon!
It doesn't use turn-based battles. Instead, you just throw balls or tap your screen. Boring.
At PokéStops, the rate of Great and Ultra Balls was higher. After an update, it is now harder to obtain Great and Ultra Balls (and even Berries) from PokéStops.
I used ten Great Balls on a Charmander today. I finally caught him after depleting all my Great Balls.
