Decent but hope for improvements

Well I stopped playing in November and decided to play again now.

Pros: more stable
-gen 2 so more Pokémon to catch
-the daily bonuses for catching and pokestops
-more candies for evolution stages when catching them
- still has that nostalgia feeling and is unique and does keep me engaged when I do play

Cons
-battery drain is still there
-the incenses are still broken
-gyms are not great
- no battling wild Pokémon or other peoples Pokémon
-no trading yet
-poke balls being empty is quite frustrating

If the developers are reading this, I hope they could add something like the GTS for trading. That could help with some fears but still allow trading in the meantime while they work on the proximity trading.

Id also recommend going back to the classic battling system, having the basics for battling any Pokémon, lowering health and using poke balls to catch them. The battling would help counter the issue of stardust, and would help level lower level CP Pokémon level up and also could get items from battles and such. This would make good uses of the pidgey, ratatta, etc. and any common Pokémon. And when you transfer Pokémon give 100 stardust each.

Id also recommend somehow recycling poke balls if you miss them, or have a stock of 100 or something everyday and you can stock them up as usual with pokestops. Then they refresh each day. Or have infinite pokeballs and you can get the great or ultra balls from pokestops or purchase them. This would solve being empty of poke balls and losing that one Pokémon you have been searching for. But I know this would probably get ignored for greed...

And please remove the speed cap completely. Yes its for safety, but people who are actually passengers and want to have fun are cut out because of the few dumb people who play and drive.

Being a true Pokémon fan since the beginning, thats what my opinion is that they should improve for now. They had great potential but honestly its struggling. I hope I hit the points accurately.
