Great addition but wrong changes

This is a really fun game. Its exciting to see my favorite Pokemon in the real world. The bugs arent a big deal. We need bugs to fix so the company can make the game work properly. But what hurts is the battling and leveling up of the Pokemon. First off the only time you battle is at gyms? And its a tap like crazy swipe to dodge style instead of the turn based strategy style that made Pokemon games so intense and fun. Please make it so we can battle Pokemon to weaken them so we can catch them?? Thats one of the funnest parts of all the games prior. And whats sad is you build no connection to your Pokemon. You catch a bunch of the same Pokemon and then just trade in the weakest until you catch a tougher one then trade the other one in... I want to build my team! I want to battle and train!! Im no Pokemon trainer on this game... Im just a poke horde that throws away the weak ones. Thats never been the Pokemon style. I want that back. We all asked for a real mobile Pokemon game and it has been delivered in hands down the coolest way possible but why did you change something that worked? Guys you have millions of fans that want that game boy style still but now we get to become the masters. Just a fan with hopes for the future of this game. So much potential but you just left out what would turn a great game into the greatest game. Hope this helps in some way.
