Great Game

Just started playing love the concept of the game. I am a older player so I play it with my son. Because Im older I remember when Pokémon cards came out and the cartoon I remember watching the Pokémon movie and crying in the movie theater so this brought back memories and allowed me to see my imagination come to life. I love the concept of walking and being active gets you points.
Suggestion 1: I think it would be great if I could link my fitness tracker to the game. This would help me stay motivated. And allow more accurate distances.
Suggestion 2: battle with friends. I would like to be able to battle with my friends in real-time.
Suggestion 3: battle Pokémon you want to catch to weaken them. They did this a lot on the show and on the Nintendo game.
Suggestion 4: I want to be able to pick attacks. I havent been playing that long so I dont know if I can once I level up but if not I want to.
Suggestion 5: battling should give you some experience points some of you lose and of course more if you win.
Suggestion 6: visit pokestops with friends yields more points and more stuff. Ash traveled with friends a lot. Its safer and more fun to do it with others anyway.
Suggestion 7: In the show when ash defeated a gym he got a badge. I think after we beat a gym we should get a gym badge once we get enough gym badges we should be able to compete in championships this would be a special event of course and people In the area would have to go to a real world location like the mall or park etc.
Suggestion 8: allow more room for fighting strategy. Not sure how to do this but allow to pick attacks allow jumping dodge etc allow combos like on the recent Pokémon game
