Oct 20, 2020 very addicting game, its much more fun now to boot with all the stuff they added since it came out. It however does get old and become very repetitive, and really, it seems like it's become a cash grab with all these events and raids. I feel as though I'm missing out on stuff if I don't always buy the extras during community day and things of that nature.more -
It’s good but needs some improvement
Aug 16, 2019 First, I’d like to say that it’s a pretty good game but it has its flaws. I think that one major issue is running out of pokeballs which is super annoying. When you give your Pokémon to the professor you should get back the pokeball you used to catch it with. Say you catch like your fourth Bellsprout and you just give it to the professor for some Bellsprout candies. Well that kind of stinks for you because you don’t get that pokeball and it all seems like a waste. Second, coins should be more available in-game. Say you are low in pokeballs and you’d like some more but of course you need money for coins and coins for pokeballs. I know it’s a free game and Pokémon GO makes most of its money off of in app purchases but it’s a pretty popular game so maybe charge money for the game itself or money for cosmetics on your character. Another thing is there are so little chances to battle your Pokémon. You can really do trainer battles and that’s it. I mean you can do gym battles and battle friends but what happened to being able to battle wild Pokémon till there weak so you can catch them. You should add a feature where you can battle other trainer based on their skill set and Pokémon compared to your own. I’m just saying there are a few blockades in the way of this game becoming more fun and just overall better. This game is decent otherwise. Maybe try and make some of these improvements and maybe more add-ons to the game.more -
Oct 20, 2020 I have to update my original "Great!", to, the updates suck, because I have a lot of pictures, and apps, and each time that they want to do an update, like every 2 weeks, I have to delete a bunch of pictures, apps, just to make the update go through. Yesterday's update still won't go through for me, so I missed my streak. This is really pissing me off now! I spent hours yesterday, and today, already, deleting, resetting my phone, and it still won't work.more -
Best game ever
Jul 16, 2018 Almost. I love the new trading and friend system, this has been one of my favorite games over the last couple years. But I think that you guys should add a chat system to organize raids better. It could be like a messaging system between friends only so that way there no trouble with stalking or anything negative like that but it would make it easier to organize raid parties without having to download a third party app like WhatsApp which requires you to let everyone know your phone number. Also it would be great to be able to buy great or ultra balls from the shop as well. I walked at a park near me for about 30 miles and caught every Pokémon that appeared. By the end of the walk I only received about 40 ultra balls and 50 great balls which sounds great until you consider that I walked for 9 hours. I received plenty of regular poke balls though(over 250 to be exact). One last note, I live in Miami and there are plenty of places to go play Pokémon go but sometimes I wish I could just walk around my area without having to travel to play. There’s plenty of things that could be pokestops near me but just aren’t. There are 2 churches on my corner that don’t have pokestops. Right across the street there is a building with a cool design that could be a pokestops but I refuse to download ingress just to request pokestops.more -
Oct 21, 2020 I picked this up as a way for me and my PokeObsessed son to get out together. We absolutely love it, and then we discovered that we can use Adventure Sync to track all the walking I do at work, which was amazing. Until, that is, a couple weeks ago when it stopped counting my distance with the app closed. We are trying to evolve a Magicarp and it needs 400 km walked to do so, walking at work was really helping. If that could be fixed we would be eternally grateful.more

Oct 22, 2020 This game WAS great. I really liked it. I dolt really remember why I got rid of it. But I went to re-install it today. Install was pretty short. I opened the app. When I say it took a long time to load I mean I watched 3 episodes of shameless kind of long time. That's just unbelievable. I will not be reinstalling this game till that is fixed. It's a shame. I used to really like this game.more -
Account Issues
May 10, 2020 First off, I’m a huge Pokémon fan! Have been all my life. I got super far in my original account but then it wasn’t letting me buy stuff in the shop with my coins I had. So I figured I’d log out and go back in. Now it’s saying my password isn’t correct which I know it is. But then I requested an email to change it. They said it was sent but I never got it. I tried retrying and it said the link is active for 48 hours. Does that mean I’ll get the email within 48 hours or I have 48 hours? I tried using a made up email just to see what would happen and they said there’s no account on there with that email. Just wanted to be sure the email wasn’t a problem. So why is it not allowing me to change my password by sending me an email?? Also I made a second one just for the meantime but on this one it won’t allow me progress with egg hatching and/or buddy Pokémon getting candies. I turned all settings on for allowing my location and all that. My battery saving mode isn’t on either. Aside from that, I can’t add friends. It said that it won’t load and to try again later. All I’m saying is that on my original account, everything was okay. I was even playing earlier this morning. Is there anything that can be done? I can’t even really get the full experience because the events have to do with my buddy getting candies and also hatching eggs. What can be done?? I’m just upset because I put so much time and effort into this all for this to happen...more -
Oct 10, 2020 The game used to be great but then Megas came out and turned it into a "pay to win" game. This will only get worse because of they're obvious corporate greed. This game is jam packed with bugs that seems to never be fixed or even looked into. The support team is totally useless. I won't be playing much longer at this rate. Wish I could "Rate" the game 0/5.more -
Oct 21, 2020 I just reinstalled this game a few months ago and I've been tolerating its issues since then but the latest issue I encountered is the most annoying of them all. Please fix your bug in adventure sync. It is not counting ANY of my steps and my eggs had stayed unhatched for 3 days! It worked just fine before but it had been like this since your last update. I'm not spending a good amount of money for a game that is always so glitchy!more -
Oct 21, 2020 This was a good app, but I am beyond pissed at how the updates keep making the game nigh unplayable until enough people complain. I was in a raid, actually beat it, came across a shiny giratina, and then the game wouldn't let me throw the pokeball, then froze, and made the whole app restart. If Niantic is going to keep updating the game as often as they are, they need to make sure the core fuctions actually work.more

Hands down, best app available.
Jul 15, 2020 I’ll shoot it to you straight. Don’t listen to the negative reviews. Contrary to “popular” belief, this game isn’t “paywalled” unless you have a fear of missing out on what other players spend 6+ hours achieving in a day. A very small portion of exclusive events are paywalled, like go fest/safari zone and that’s it. If you want items from the store, Drop in as many gyms as possible, it’s good for 350 coins per week if done right, and have reasonable expectations (and by that I mean shiny Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon in GO are given out at an insanely high rate compared to main series games) Competitive gameplay (Go battle league) having some glitching issues, doesn’t make it a bad game for those that choose not to play competitively, and even with the glitching, proper investments in Pokémon far outweigh any glitching that occurs, that and most players just expect to go 5/5 on every round played and anything less than that is a failure on Niantic’s part. Raids are very easy if you toss your IV expectations out the window and focus on high CP counters. Each Pokémon has given base stats, and IV doesn’t make or break most Pokémon when raiding, counters make or break your success. The game is completely add free, it’s free of actual currency, it’s fun, it’s addictive and it gets you outside. Just play it how YOU want to play it, and you’ll love it regardless.more -
Oct 20, 2020 I like the game, that seems to be repetitive but I have my grandbabies that play it. I just enjoy playing trying to get a higher pokemon along with different kinds. and it gives you something else to talk about when you don't have nothing in common. It beats the bars.. the expression on people's faces is priceless when they hear what I'm playing. Kids are in their 30s we watched the show when they were lil. Nice pikachumore -
This game has come very far
Sep 5, 2020 I’ve been playing this game since week 1. There was a month of 2 when I had it deleted because I wasn’t playing it, but when gen 3 was added I came right back. I’ve spent a good hundred dollars on this game, and I really only have 1 complaint in the dinosaur of video game perfection. I just wish Mega Evolution was better. Anyway, the way they have adapted into making play from hone easier is really nice, so people don’t risk getting sick. If you look back at the beginning of the game, you can really tell it’s growth. Research, buddies, friends, trainer battles, Team Rocket, shinies, and even legendaries weren’t even in the game at launch, and now we (almost) have 5 ENTIRE GENERATIONS with a read of gen 6. Research has been a really fun time killer when I’m bored, and the fact that Pokémon constantly spawn make it even nicer and a continuous adventure. Looking back, I feel so dumb taking a break from the game, even if it was only for 2 months. Anyone could get a blast out of it, and it’s a great way to drop a couple of pounds even if you’re only going out once a day! A lot of people got it at the start and quit a few weeks/months. If your one of those people, definitely check this game out again! This game has come so far, and I can’t wait to see how much it grows in the future!more

Oct 20, 2020 This is a amazing game! I been playing since 2018 and it just keeps getting better each year. I got all my friends to play this game and they love it. My only problem is once in a while it freezes or glitches with like switching out your buddys or not letting hatch eggs or battle but after a while it works again. But I would give this game a 4 star for it's amazing game!more -
Actually a really good game
Jul 10, 2020 See, I started on July 17, 2016 and I’m still playing it. The pvp battles that were added in are an easy way to gat rare items and cool pokemon. There are also five generations of Pokémon in game so there is a lot of variety with Pokémon. The updates during corona make it easier to play without going outside so that makes it a lot more enjoyable to play. And I’m not sure if this helps but the 3D models make good drawing references for me. I’m a long time Pokémon fan and have been playing since 2001. I really don’t understand the critical reviews. I think that this game is simple to understand and good for all ages. You can also get motivated to exercise with this app. The game has good graphics too. My only complaint is that many people are hacking the game. I think that a game that is still receiving updates in 2020 should be harder to hack into. Also there may be daily gift boxes that give you pokeballs but some of us don’t have many Pokestops around their homes so we don’t have much accessibility to pokeballs. Even so, it’s a good overall pokemon game and I would recommend it to many. Thank you for taking your time to read my review by the way. 4 stars for me! But please stop asking for Pokémon that haven’t been added in yet to be added in. Gen 6 along with greninja will be added Later. Thank you again.more

Amazing
Jul 26, 2020 This app is an amazing app! It is an amazing way to kill time and a great app to get your exercise in! There are a couple things that I think could be better. I feel there should be a chat space! So you can talk to the people you are friends with to meet up and do raids or battle together. Instead of having to download an app which even then you need to at least know there phone number. I feel you should be able to get more than 50 coins a day. Or at least be able to get a bonus for every continuous day your Pokémon is at a gym. Saying that I know that the prices to buy stuff is set to match the amount of coins able to be received each day. So if needed I feel it would be ok to up the price on coins a little. For trading.... I feel you should be able to choose what your friend gets. Or at least be able to put something in there for them besides a sticker. This also adds onto the fact that we need a chat system between friends to be able to tell what each other needs and or is receiving. I know you have the notifications for what your friend has received but it would still be nice to be able to say “oh thanks for the poke balls dude” or something along the lines of that. Overall this game is amazing! And I get on it several times a day. But I am sure other people have been saying things along the lines of what I have said! I mean none of this is no rude way but I do feel that these things should either be changed or added into the game!more -
Oct 20, 2020 As of the last several days I've noticed this no longer syncs my steps unless I have the game physically open and am actively playing on it. I'm on my feet all day at work and these steps are no longer recorded. I've followed all steps I can find online to make sure my phone isn't blocking this feature. It's not. This is definitely an issue with the game.more -
It is fun.
Jun 12, 2020 It is indeed fun and has grown a lot since I first started about four years ago. I am also really glad they retracted with the sprite version of Pokémon. I would have quit. I am proud that those behind Pokémon Go are doing what they can to help people enjoy the app during the pandemic. Even more so, I commend them for standing up for the black people and all races. Being anything other than white dose not mean that they mean less. To me they mean so much more. Now on from that and back to Pokémon Go. I find myself pondering weather to keep with Pokémon go, or to let it go. Community days end when workers are getting off work or kids getting off school. That is extremely unfair. There should also be more Pokémon, Pokémon stops and gems for those in rural areas. Also, I purchased a remote raid pass for the event. When I hopped in to join, the people left so I hopped out only to find that I had completely lost my remote raid pass. This was also unfair as other raid passes do not vanish when you hop in and out when others leave. Another reason for me to consider leaving. It is very wrong for the raid to be used up like that especially when we have to pay for them. I surely will not buy another, event or not. Sure, coins, incubators, lucky eggs and so on are expected to disappear when used, but when other raid passes let you hop in and out, it is shameful to take the remote raid pass without having participated in any raid. That is all I have to say.more -
Not gonna lie
Aug 29, 2018 I’m not even going to lie, I’m 27 and absolutely love this game. I grew up with Pokémon and this is by far the best Pokémon game. I stopped playing for a year or so because I reached the top level and got bored with it; about 6 months ago my husband convinced me to redownload it because of the numerous new features and two more generations of Pokémon that had been added to the game. Unfortunately as of lately I’ve been having nothing but problems with getting it to load. This is now the third time in a week that I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall the game and unfortunately this time it doesn’t appear to even be reinstalling. And yes the app and phone software are all up to date and everything like that. On top of that, on my other phone, if/when the game loads it no longer loads all of the way. It’s genuinely one of the most frustrating things I’ve been dealing with because playing this game keeps me out of trouble and out of my own head. It’s definitely become my biggest hobby and biggest outlet, so when I’m stressed out to the max and it doesn’t want to load - which seems to be every single time I’m excessively stressed lately- it just makes everything worse. I was praying that these last batch of updates they did would have fixed that but I haven’t even been able to get the game to load since it updated! That is literally the only downside to it and unfortunately it’s a major one.more -
Fun game, needs to be polished
Apr 10, 2020 Love the game. With the newer updates there’s a lot more to do in a more organized way. Most of the objectives of the game work flawlessly. The inner economy of items and Pokémon’s creates a wonderful system that makes you want to come back and play more. But, there are a lot of issues to still work out. One of which is the coins and gyms system. Right now, you can only get 50 coins per day. And a pokemon earns a single coin per 10 minutes in a gym. You would reach the max limit for coins in about 8 hours. This creates an issue, in which, if you have 4 pokemon in different gyms that have been in there for all over a day. Well over the limit. Meaning you could make 200 coins total, if they get defeated on different days. However, if they are all defeated on a single day then you only receive 50 coins for all 4, missing out on the 150. Currently, there is no work around this issue. You can’t recall your pokemon early, and if one gets stuck in a gym you are sitting there praying for it to be beaten. Another issue is with the combat leagues. When I first started the game with my most powerful pokemon at about 1000cp to try out the feature, the opponents were vastly unbalanced. I had to fight a 3000cp mewtwo on my 4th or so fight. It just seems that some of the features weren’t given enough time as opposed to other features of the game, and that lackluster approach clearly shows.more

If Niantic is going to keep updating the game as often as they are, they need to make sure the core fuctions actually work.more -
Oct 20, 2020 Ridiculous... I have had this Game since 2016... i have barely been able to win a raid battle. Finally after taking the time to gather friends to battle. I was kicked out of the battle and lost the opportunity to rejoin. Due to what the game stated as a connection issue, even though I maintainded a very stromg signal the whole time. Now my friends have a legendary Giratini and im out KOd pokemon and used items..... FOR SHAME NIANTIC!!!!more

It's a shame. I used to really like this game.more -
Oct 10, 2020 The game used to be great but then Megas came out and turned it into a "pay to win" game. This will only get worse because of they're obvious corporate greed. This game is jam packed with bugs that seems to never be fixed or even looked into. The support team is totally useless. I won't be playing much longer at this rate. Wish I could "Rate" the game 0/5.more -
Oct 21, 2020 I just reinstalled this game a few months ago and I've been tolerating its issues since then but the latest issue I encountered is the most annoying of them all. Please fix your bug in adventure sync. It is not counting ANY of my steps and my eggs had stayed unhatched for 3 days! It worked just fine before but it had been like this since your last update. I'm not spending a good amount of money for a game that is always so glitchy!more
What’s Groovy
basically play this game for like 3 months straight when i redownload this app, but i already got some few bugs such as not being able to purchase or get the free box from the shop, as it will be frozen and continues to load. i try deleting the app multiple times and power off my phone and it still didn’t work.
another bug is that i can’t take a snapshot which is kinda sad cause some task ask to take a snapshot of a certain pokémon and i still haven’t finish that task yet.
i also dislike like two things that i wish the game can change such as instead of having just 50 poke coins a day, i think it would be at least helpful if it’s 50 coins per pokémon or have it stack the coins stack up if they stayed in the gym longer like if they stay there for two days they’ll bring 100 coins.
one last thing i wish it can change is the choice of eevee evolution. like there is the nickname trick but it only works once. i feel that nickname trick shouldn’t have to work once cause not many people are aware that u can do it only once. so i think it would be great to have evolution stones that players can put into the eevees so they can choose which type that they want, as for slyveon u have to be buddy with them to get the option of slyveon cause in the show u get slyveon if u have a bond with them. so yea that’s my idea and i think would be great cause it kinda add in some features or reference that appears on the show.

What’s Subpar
I've tried more than once to contact someone about the problems I've encountered during these past 3 days and yet no one has gotten back to me. I've been playing this game for a while now. It's becoming a problem. Not tracking my steps at all!! I've deleted the game and reinstalled. Check everything more than once and yet it's still not doing it. Not able to hatch any eggs or learn hearts with my buddy. It's becoming bull. What game doesn't have someone you can contact....

very addicting game, its much more fun now to boot with all the stuff they added since it came out. It however does get old and become very repetitive, and really, it seems like it's become a cash grab with all these events and raids. I feel as though I'm missing out on stuff if I don't always buy the extras during community day and things of that nature.

It’s good but needs some improvement
First, I’d like to say that it’s a pretty good game but it has its flaws. I think that one major issue is running out of pokeballs which is super annoying. When you give your Pokémon to the professor you should get back the pokeball you used to catch it with. Say you catch like your fourth Bellsprout and you just give it to the professor for some Bellsprout candies. Well that kind of stinks for you because you don’t get that pokeball and it all seems like a waste. Second, coins should be more available in-game. Say you are low in pokeballs and you’d like some more but of course you need money for coins and coins for pokeballs. I know it’s a free game and Pokémon GO makes most of its money off of in app purchases but it’s a pretty popular game so maybe charge money for the game itself or money for cosmetics on your character. Another thing is there are so little chances to battle your Pokémon. You can really do trainer battles and that’s it. I mean you can do gym battles and battle friends but what happened to being able to battle wild Pokémon till there weak so you can catch them. You should add a feature where you can battle other trainer based on their skill set and Pokémon compared to your own. I’m just saying there are a few blockades in the way of this game becoming more fun and just overall better. This game is decent otherwise. Maybe try and make some of these improvements and maybe more add-ons to the game. -
I have to update my original "Great!", to, the updates suck, because I have a lot of pictures, and apps, and each time that they want to do an update, like every 2 weeks, I have to delete a bunch of pictures, apps, just to make the update go through. Yesterday's update still won't go through for me, so I missed my streak. This is really pissing me off now! I spent hours yesterday, and today, already, deleting, resetting my phone, and it still won't work.

Best game ever
Almost. I love the new trading and friend system, this has been one of my favorite games over the last couple years. But I think that you guys should add a chat system to organize raids better. It could be like a messaging system between friends only so that way there no trouble with stalking or anything negative like that but it would make it easier to organize raid parties without having to download a third party app like WhatsApp which requires you to let everyone know your phone number. Also it would be great to be able to buy great or ultra balls from the shop as well. I walked at a park near me for about 30 miles and caught every Pokémon that appeared. By the end of the walk I only received about 40 ultra balls and 50 great balls which sounds great until you consider that I walked for 9 hours. I received plenty of regular poke balls though(over 250 to be exact). One last note, I live in Miami and there are plenty of places to go play Pokémon go but sometimes I wish I could just walk around my area without having to travel to play. There’s plenty of things that could be pokestops near me but just aren’t. There are 2 churches on my corner that don’t have pokestops. Right across the street there is a building with a cool design that could be a pokestops but I refuse to download ingress just to request pokestops. -
I picked this up as a way for me and my PokeObsessed son to get out together. We absolutely love it, and then we discovered that we can use Adventure Sync to track all the walking I do at work, which was amazing. Until, that is, a couple weeks ago when it stopped counting my distance with the app closed. We are trying to evolve a Magicarp and it needs 400 km walked to do so, walking at work was really helping. If that could be fixed we would be eternally grateful.

Amazing
This app is an amazing app! It is an amazing way to kill time and a great app to get your exercise in! There are a couple things that I think could be better. I feel there should be a chat space! So you can talk to the people you are friends with to meet up and do raids or battle together. Instead of having to download an app which even then you need to at least know there phone number. I feel you should be able to get more than 50 coins a day. Or at least be able to get a bonus for every continuous day your Pokémon is at a gym. Saying that I know that the prices to buy stuff is set to match the amount of coins able to be received each day. So if needed I feel it would be ok to up the price on coins a little. For trading.... I feel you should be able to choose what your friend gets. Or at least be able to put something in there for them besides a sticker. This also adds onto the fact that we need a chat system between friends to be able to tell what each other needs and or is receiving. I know you have the notifications for what your friend has received but it would still be nice to be able to say “oh thanks for the poke balls dude” or something along the lines of that. Overall this game is amazing! And I get on it several times a day. But I am sure other people have been saying things along the lines of what I have said! I mean none of this is no rude way but I do feel that these things should either be changed or added into the game! -
As of the last several days I've noticed this no longer syncs my steps unless I have the game physically open and am actively playing on it. I'm on my feet all day at work and these steps are no longer recorded. I've followed all steps I can find online to make sure my phone isn't blocking this feature. It's not. This is definitely an issue with the game.

Hands down, best app available.
I’ll shoot it to you straight. Don’t listen to the negative reviews. Contrary to “popular” belief, this game isn’t “paywalled” unless you have a fear of missing out on what other players spend 6+ hours achieving in a day. A very small portion of exclusive events are paywalled, like go fest/safari zone and that’s it. If you want items from the store, Drop in as many gyms as possible, it’s good for 350 coins per week if done right, and have reasonable expectations (and by that I mean shiny Pokémon. Shiny Pokémon in GO are given out at an insanely high rate compared to main series games) Competitive gameplay (Go battle league) having some glitching issues, doesn’t make it a bad game for those that choose not to play competitively, and even with the glitching, proper investments in Pokémon far outweigh any glitching that occurs, that and most players just expect to go 5/5 on every round played and anything less than that is a failure on Niantic’s part. Raids are very easy if you toss your IV expectations out the window and focus on high CP counters. Each Pokémon has given base stats, and IV doesn’t make or break most Pokémon when raiding, counters make or break your success. The game is completely add free, it’s free of actual currency, it’s fun, it’s addictive and it gets you outside. Just play it how YOU want to play it, and you’ll love it regardless. -
This is a amazing game! I been playing since 2018 and it just keeps getting better each year. I got all my friends to play this game and they love it. My only problem is once in a while it freezes or glitches with like switching out your buddys or not letting hatch eggs or battle but after a while it works again. But I would give this game a 4 star for it's amazing game!

It is fun.
It is indeed fun and has grown a lot since I first started about four years ago. I am also really glad they retracted with the sprite version of Pokémon. I would have quit. I am proud that those behind Pokémon Go are doing what they can to help people enjoy the app during the pandemic. Even more so, I commend them for standing up for the black people and all races. Being anything other than white dose not mean that they mean less. To me they mean so much more. Now on from that and back to Pokémon Go. I find myself pondering weather to keep with Pokémon go, or to let it go. Community days end when workers are getting off work or kids getting off school. That is extremely unfair. There should also be more Pokémon, Pokémon stops and gems for those in rural areas. Also, I purchased a remote raid pass for the event. When I hopped in to join, the people left so I hopped out only to find that I had completely lost my remote raid pass. This was also unfair as other raid passes do not vanish when you hop in and out when others leave. Another reason for me to consider leaving. It is very wrong for the raid to be used up like that especially when we have to pay for them. I surely will not buy another, event or not. Sure, coins, incubators, lucky eggs and so on are expected to disappear when used, but when other raid passes let you hop in and out, it is shameful to take the remote raid pass without having participated in any raid. That is all I have to say.
-
Tired of getting kicked out of remote raids in the middle of trying to get back in when all pokemon have fainted. Waste of a raid pass and theyre not cheap. Please fix.

Enhancement requests: 1. If you have a Pokemon in a gym, you should be allowed to spin the Pokestop at that gym considering you need berries to keep the defending Pokemon (plural) alive/"motivated". 2. The game needs more pokestops where there are active users in areas. People should not need to drive somewhere just to spin a Pokestop. 3. Increase bag and/or Pokemon storage with each level instead of charging coins for it. 4. LET PASSENGERS SPIN POKESTOPS

It's a good game, however I only recently started playing it, I stopped playing when it wasn't very popular anymore. I had to make a new account, and I've had to reinstall loads and it's still stuck on the loading page. I'm not sure what to do, I got to the starter pokemon bit at first but wouldn't let me catch it, I restarted the app and from there I can't get in as it's stuck on the loading screen.

I like the game, that seems to be repetitive but I have my grandbabies that play it. I just enjoy playing trying to get a higher pokemon along with different kinds. and it gives you something else to talk about when you don't have nothing in common. It beats the bars.. the expression on people's faces is priceless when they hear what I'm playing. Kids are in their 30s we watched the show when they were lil. Nice pikachu

This game has come very far
I’ve been playing this game since week 1. There was a month of 2 when I had it deleted because I wasn’t playing it, but when gen 3 was added I came right back. I’ve spent a good hundred dollars on this game, and I really only have 1 complaint in the dinosaur of video game perfection. I just wish Mega Evolution was better. Anyway, the way they have adapted into making play from hone easier is really nice, so people don’t risk getting sick. If you look back at the beginning of the game, you can really tell it’s growth. Research, buddies, friends, trainer battles, Team Rocket, shinies, and even legendaries weren’t even in the game at launch, and now we (almost) have 5 ENTIRE GENERATIONS with a read of gen 6. Research has been a really fun time killer when I’m bored, and the fact that Pokémon constantly spawn make it even nicer and a continuous adventure. Looking back, I feel so dumb taking a break from the game, even if it was only for 2 months. Anyone could get a blast out of it, and it’s a great way to drop a couple of pounds even if you’re only going out once a day! A lot of people got it at the start and quit a few weeks/months. If your one of those people, definitely check this game out again! This game has come so far, and I can’t wait to see how much it grows in the future! -
I've been a fan of the Pokemon Series for a long time. This just makes it a bit better. Soon, we will be able to transfer pokemon from Go to Home, then from Home to whatever games are in circulation at the time, be they Sword and Shield, or after SwoSh. I'm especially looking forward to the events that'll be coming when the connectivity starts. Free Meltan box plus a gigantamaxing Melmetal? Yes Please!
-
I don't know why but I'm not able to play with my buddy. As soon as I press the 'play' key, the game shuts down and I have to restart the game again and it goes same for the recently updated AR scanning for poke - stops, and dur to that I'm not able to complete some field researchs. Apart from that the game is super cool to play. No any other problems. Please do something about it.
-
I love the game, although on my iPad well... I don't have HotSpot on it so... I can't really play without WiFi... so it would be a lifesaver if you could let people on iPad's play without WiFi please, I would love that! Maybe you could add a chat box so you could talk to other Trainers in the Friends List. Could you make it where you have a choice to see other Trainers on the map too, please? And also, could you please make it where people (like me) can adjust your butt size, please?😂 Sorry😬😂

Innovative and Adaptive
Pokémon has been a staple of my childhood; so needless to say, I had very high hopes when Niantic brought Pokémon Go to us. At the start of its conception the game has been captivating and engaging in a whole new way with today’s technology. Though lacking aspects from the original game such as battling others or fighting a great evil like Team Rocket, Niantic has continuously evolved the app, actively listening to its fan base to make a Pokémon game that resembles the original more and more closely. Admittedly I was only slightly disappointed by how limited the game was first starting out, so I dropped it for a year. When I started playing it again with friends later, I was shocked and impressed by how far the game has come in its innovations and adaptivity, bringing 1 on 1 battles to the table in a variety of league settings, constantly sending out news letters to its players in order to stay up to date with Pokémon events happening from week to week, creating Raid Hours and Community Days, allowing invites to Raids, battling Team Rocket, and so much more! If you thought the game was lacking from the start, I strongly encourage you to pick it up again and see what it has become today. I look forward to Niantic’s journey for this game with great anticipation -
Easily my favorite game, helps me get out and explore my surroundings while exercising and staying active. I've been playing for 4 years now and this game has literally helped me increase my energy levels and get off the couch and get into shape. I literally walk 50+ miles every week I play. Surely there's more entertaining games out there, but as for turning walking into something enjoyable, this game has won me over for sure.

very addicting game, its much more fun now to boot with all the stuff they added since it came out. It however does get old and become very repetitive, and really, it seems like it's become a cash grab with all these events and raids. I feel as though I'm missing out on stuff if I don't always buy the extras during community day and things of that nature.

Actually a really good game
See, I started on July 17, 2016 and I’m still playing it. The pvp battles that were added in are an easy way to gat rare items and cool pokemon. There are also five generations of Pokémon in game so there is a lot of variety with Pokémon. The updates during corona make it easier to play without going outside so that makes it a lot more enjoyable to play. And I’m not sure if this helps but the 3D models make good drawing references for me. I’m a long time Pokémon fan and have been playing since 2001. I really don’t understand the critical reviews. I think that this game is simple to understand and good for all ages. You can also get motivated to exercise with this app. The game has good graphics too. My only complaint is that many people are hacking the game. I think that a game that is still receiving updates in 2020 should be harder to hack into. Also there may be daily gift boxes that give you pokeballs but some of us don’t have many Pokestops around their homes so we don’t have much accessibility to pokeballs. Even so, it’s a good overall pokemon game and I would recommend it to many. Thank you for taking your time to read my review by the way. 4 stars for me! But please stop asking for Pokémon that haven’t been added in yet to be added in. Gen 6 along with greninja will be added Later. Thank you again. -
Delightful app. My grandkids got me into it, and it's now my favorite hobby. If you enjoy collecting, treasure-hunting, travel, and social connections,, you'll love Pokemon Go. Update: After playing it awhile, I'm finding some of the other bugs reported here are making the game play very frustrating at times. Coupled with the slow support, it's enough to give me pause about investing too much time and money in an otherwise genius game and game play experience.

Similar to real game
I started playing July 2016 but due to all the glitches and lack of Pokémon I stopped playing for a few years. The reason I started up again was because a friend recommended to try it. Now gifts can be exchanged, the Pokémon generations are mostly caught up, and there are a lot more stops and gyms to interact with. My main issue with this game is the lack of interaction with other players. I would like to be able to battle with nearby trainers like the real Pokémon game allows. Also during gym battles, there should be an option to switch Pokémon in between defeats. Those are the rules in a real Pokémon battle and this should be applied to this game. Pokémon should also gain experience after battles to help build them up. I understand the candy concept but those should be bonus experience/cp. I have lost a few great catches due to the glitches/network errors which is very frustrating! Other than that I enjoy catching Pokémon and spinning stops on my walk up to work through the downtown area. It’s a nice way to see the town. EDIT I forgot to mention: I’m not sure why but when I’m on the bus or in any vehicle as a passenger I should be able to spin stops for rewards not “try again later”. It doesn’t make sense to allow me the option to catch Pokémon but I can’t get stops or gain steps with my eggs or buddy. -
Great, but still missing some stuff
I played this game on and off since it first came out in 2016. And while I think it’s a solid game, it’s still missing out on some things. There’s still really poor rural and suburban representation in Pokémon go, especially in regards to raids and pokestops. I understand if raids have to take place in towns, but it wouldn’t hurt to have at least some amount of pokestops near communities. I live near a local park and there are zero pokestops there. I understand that there’s an option to create pokestops indirectly through another Niantic game, Ingress, but from my experience that game isn’t properly optimized for newer iPhones, and the base-building system is clunky and tedious. It would make more sense for Pokémon GO players to create new pokestops in gardens and parks, so that they can more easily play the game away from the city or towns. Another minor complaint is the sound. What was the deal with the sudden degrade in sound quality? Was that for saving battery life? Another good thing to add would be to battle other players’ Pokémon directly, instead of going to a raid or a gym and battling their Pokémon there. Niantic still needs to realize that not all of their player base is willing to drive 10 miles to go catch and see Pokémon. If these issues would be fixed this game would be 5 stars. -
Why the challenges
The games good I’ve had it ever since it came out it has amazing updates and features like the buddy and egg hatching mechanic but one thing I hate are the challenges. The problem with the challenges (I’m talking about the special ones not the ones that you get from pokestops) are that they don’t count unless you had the challenge. If you don’t understand I’ll explain, for the new challenge or Meltan go challenges there’s one specific challenge that took me a year to finally do, it was to catch a ditto which I had done an hour before I got the challenge.i had caught a ditto an hour prior of getting the catch a ditto challenge and the problem is it didn’t count towards the challenge, but not only that I had evolved a magikarp three weeks ago and I just got the challenge evolve a magikarp challenge I don’t want to wait another year to just get another stage of a challenge that I will inevitably will have to do that will take me another year to do I just want to play the game and earn the challenges that I did too early without knowing it was too early. I hope this is seen so at least I have some sort of reasoning for this and if this is seen by a developer thanks this game is really nice and I cannot wait to see what else this game holds in the future. -
App's amazing. You can even catch PKMN indoors! But for some reason, 2 days ago, I was able to heal my PKMN because everyone one of them was on the list, but now, there isn't ANYTHING (btw not being rude) ! Could you fix this bug/glitch in the upcoming update and examine it thoroughly, because this makes it harder to fight the Team GO Rocket grunts. Thanks, Niantic!

Amazing
This app is an amazing app! It is an amazing way to kill time and a great app to get your exercise in! There are a couple things that I think could be better. I feel there should be a chat space! So you can talk to the people you are friends with to meet up and do raids or battle together. Instead of having to download an app which even then you need to at least know there phone number. I feel you should be able to get more than 50 coins a day. Or at least be able to get a bonus for every continuous day your Pokémon is at a gym. Saying that I know that the prices to buy stuff is set to match the amount of coins able to be received each day. So if needed I feel it would be ok to up the price on coins a little. For trading.... I feel you should be able to choose what your friend gets. Or at least be able to put something in there for them besides a sticker. This also adds onto the fact that we need a chat system between friends to be able to tell what each other needs and or is receiving. I know you have the notifications for what your friend has received but it would still be nice to be able to say “oh thanks for the poke balls dude” or something along the lines of that. Overall this game is amazing! And I get on it several times a day. But I am sure other people have been saying things along the lines of what I have said! I mean none of this is no rude way but I do feel that these things should either be changed or added into the game! -
As of the last several days I've noticed this no longer syncs my steps unless I have the game physically open and am actively playing on it. I'm on my feet all day at work and these steps are no longer recorded. I've followed all steps I can find online to make sure my phone isn't blocking this feature. It's not. This is definitely an issue with the game.

When I hopped in to join, the people left so I hopped out only to find that I had completely lost my remote raid pass. This was also unfair as other raid passes do not vanish when you hop in and out when others leave. Another reason for me to consider leaving. It is very wrong for the raid to be used up like that especially when we have to pay for them. I surely will not buy another, event or not. Sure, coins, incubators, lucky eggs and so on are expected to disappear when used, but when other raid passes let you hop in and out, it is shameful to take the remote raid pass without having participated in any raid. That is all I have to say. -
Not gonna lie
I’m not even going to lie, I’m 27 and absolutely love this game. I grew up with Pokémon and this is by far the best Pokémon game. I stopped playing for a year or so because I reached the top level and got bored with it; about 6 months ago my husband convinced me to redownload it because of the numerous new features and two more generations of Pokémon that had been added to the game. Unfortunately as of lately I’ve been having nothing but problems with getting it to load. This is now the third time in a week that I’ve had to uninstall and reinstall the game and unfortunately this time it doesn’t appear to even be reinstalling. And yes the app and phone software are all up to date and everything like that. On top of that, on my other phone, if/when the game loads it no longer loads all of the way. It’s genuinely one of the most frustrating things I’ve been dealing with because playing this game keeps me out of trouble and out of my own head. It’s definitely become my biggest hobby and biggest outlet, so when I’m stressed out to the max and it doesn’t want to load - which seems to be every single time I’m excessively stressed lately- it just makes everything worse. I was praying that these last batch of updates they did would have fixed that but I haven’t even been able to get the game to load since it updated! That is literally the only downside to it and unfortunately it’s a major one. -
Fun game, needs to be polished
Love the game. With the newer updates there’s a lot more to do in a more organized way. Most of the objectives of the game work flawlessly. The inner economy of items and Pokémon’s creates a wonderful system that makes you want to come back and play more. But, there are a lot of issues to still work out. One of which is the coins and gyms system. Right now, you can only get 50 coins per day. And a pokemon earns a single coin per 10 minutes in a gym. You would reach the max limit for coins in about 8 hours. This creates an issue, in which, if you have 4 pokemon in different gyms that have been in there for all over a day. Well over the limit. Meaning you could make 200 coins total, if they get defeated on different days. However, if they are all defeated on a single day then you only receive 50 coins for all 4, missing out on the 150. Currently, there is no work around this issue. You can’t recall your pokemon early, and if one gets stuck in a gym you are sitting there praying for it to be beaten. Another issue is with the combat leagues. When I first started the game with my most powerful pokemon at about 1000cp to try out the feature, the opponents were vastly unbalanced. I had to fight a 3000cp mewtwo on my 4th or so fight. It just seems that some of the features weren’t given enough time as opposed to other features of the game, and that lackluster approach clearly shows. -
Frustrating Customer Service
Currently customer service does not provide adequate support. During and shortly after go-fest, I was invited to multiple mobile raids but got flat kicked out after all my Pokémon fainted. I couldn’t get back in. If the timer hadn’t expired and I was able to get back in, it burned a second pass. This glitch cost me at least 6 mobile raid passes which I had purchased with money (not coins from raiding.) I bought more because I wanted to have fun with my friends and not let it ruin my time. Later when I contacted customer service I got reimbursed for 1 pass. One. That’s it. They blamed it on a “visual glitch” saying the pass was still there, but it wasn’t. My inventory never got reset, the passes just disappeared. Even after closing and logging out. They know the system is buggy and people are getting gypped out of things they purchased but don’t seem to care. Everyone I play with experienced the same issues and only half of us have received any sort of refund. Also: (yea I know it’s petty) character customization. There’s lacking color variants for even the basic items, you can’t choose between long or short hair. Every male/female looks the same but with a different skin tone. We’re 4 years into this game and you can have blue, yellow, green, white, purple or 3 different shades of brown hair ... but no RED. (Give me my stupid red hair!!!) -
Some things better some still broke, so I've complained endlessly it seems about the lag and gps putting me random places, guess what? Those things are fixed. Well AR mode also used to work on my phone, I do have a gyroscope, and it no longer works, seems to be a problem with a lot of Android users, now that niantic as released new research tasks that involve using AR mode it would be cool to be able to join in, and also just use AR mode from time to time, especially since I here it's updated.

Pokémon go is OK
I like Pokémon GO it’s very simple now very hard to use and it takes you out of all of the house and help his people to walk about and explore but the one thing I have problems with is that when I logged on for the first time I was at level one and then also I had a glitch and also I became level six on the red team even though I never chose that team the problem with this Pokémon go is that the team that develop the And the support system there is terrible because when I tell him about my issue they won’t even respond to my problem I was trying to tell him that I did not pick my team and they were saying that we can’t do anything about it once you pick your team there’s nothing that you can do I also try to reset my account with my new email and I didn’t do any good like I had really had issue with the login is your for Pokémon go and the support staff on that game was terrible they need to learn to have some Consideration about their customers if there’s a problem they should take the time and look into issues instead of just sitting on the automated discussions about what we need to know stuff like that the support system was really terrible in my case I mean the game is fine not gonna lie but the support system is terrible though tech-support for their game is terrible I even went to the website and didn’t do anything about it -
Great Game but Freezes ALOT. If the freezing issue was sorted out, it'd easily receive 5 stars. The issue with the freezing is when it happens at valuable times in the game, reboot (which takes a considerable amount of time to load) and I've lost the epic Pokemon and/or item! Addictive game nonetheless, and love the rewarding etc for physical activity! Extremely well done.

“I’m a passenger”
For the most part, it’s a great app/game. The main issue I have is the fact that when “I’m a passenger”, is selected, it won’t allow the PASSENGER 🙄to continue playing with the app being fully functional, which is hella depressing especially when a child asks valid questions as to why it won’t work as expected and then the driver has to double back & find somewhere to park which is a bigger inconvenience. If it’s just a matter of wanting to ensure the safety of everyone in the vehicle, here’s a solution: create an algorithm that allows the player to verify they are the passenger, by having the player look into the camera for 5-10 consecutive seconds and if they look away, not blink, they will instantly be blocked for 30 seconds before they can try again. To assist with children, depending on the age listed on the profile make tracing three patterns available to them. If you are to use this idea, regardless of the variation, I would like to be credited & compensated appropriately, no matter when you choose to use a passenger verification option, no matter what’s it called. But just wanted to share my suggestion for a systemwide, but necessary issue. I would also ask that fallen Pokémon balls be returned. Not the ones that actually hit the Pokémon, just the ones that don’t.. some people do not live in an area where there’s a Pokéstop available.

This game WAS great. I really liked it. I dolt really remember why I got rid of it. But I went to re-install it today. Install was pretty short. I opened the app. When I say it took a long time to load I mean I watched 3 episodes of shameless kind of long time. That's just unbelievable. I will not be reinstalling this game till that is fixed. It's a shame. I used to really like this game.

Account Issues
First off, I’m a huge Pokémon fan! Have been all my life. I got super far in my original account but then it wasn’t letting me buy stuff in the shop with my coins I had. So I figured I’d log out and go back in. Now it’s saying my password isn’t correct which I know it is. But then I requested an email to change it. They said it was sent but I never got it. I tried retrying and it said the link is active for 48 hours. Does that mean I’ll get the email within 48 hours or I have 48 hours? I tried using a made up email just to see what would happen and they said there’s no account on there with that email. Just wanted to be sure the email wasn’t a problem. So why is it not allowing me to change my password by sending me an email?? Also I made a second one just for the meantime but on this one it won’t allow me progress with egg hatching and/or buddy Pokémon getting candies. I turned all settings on for allowing my location and all that. My battery saving mode isn’t on either. Aside from that, I can’t add friends. It said that it won’t load and to try again later. All I’m saying is that on my original account, everything was okay. I was even playing earlier this morning. Is there anything that can be done? I can’t even really get the full experience because the events have to do with my buddy getting candies and also hatching eggs. What can be done?? I’m just upset because I put so much time and effort into this all for this to happen... -
The game used to be great but then Megas came out and turned it into a "pay to win" game. This will only get worse because of they're obvious corporate greed. This game is jam packed with bugs that seems to never be fixed or even looked into. The support team is totally useless. I won't be playing much longer at this rate. Wish I could "Rate" the game 0/5.

I just reinstalled this game a few months ago and I've been tolerating its issues since then but the latest issue I encountered is the most annoying of them all. Please fix your bug in adventure sync. It is not counting ANY of my steps and my eggs had stayed unhatched for 3 days! It worked just fine before but it had been like this since your last update. I'm not spending a good amount of money for a game that is always so glitchy!

This was a good app, but I am beyond pissed at how the updates keep making the game nigh unplayable until enough people complain. I was in a raid, actually beat it, came across a shiny giratina, and then the game wouldn't let me throw the pokeball, then froze, and made the whole app restart. If Niantic is going to keep updating the game as often as they are, they need to make sure the core fuctions actually work.

Ridiculous... I have had this Game since 2016... i have barely been able to win a raid battle. Finally after taking the time to gather friends to battle. I was kicked out of the battle and lost the opportunity to rejoin. Due to what the game stated as a connection issue, even though I maintainded a very stromg signal the whole time. Now my friends have a legendary Giratini and im out KOd pokemon and used items..... FOR SHAME NIANTIC!!!!
