Updated review:
While the new tracking feature is great because it points out the pokestop of your desired Pokémon, the nearby feature still needs a lot of work. Half the time, mine shows the same six Pokémon that, if I walk to the stops, are hiding ones I really want to catch.
Additionally, the Apple Watch version is unreliable. Mine doesnt track distance, so there is no point in trying to use it when walking place to place.
The random events are great for updating the Pokedex, but even on a large college campus, I rarely see Pokémon different from what I already have, and hatching is completely skewed towards Gen 1 Pokémon.
Past review:
Its disappointing that the company refuses to listen to the players, and apparently is only updating the game to some unbeknownst development plan. They took away a lovely feature of nearby Pokémon and have since not replaced it. A recent update has lowered the volume of background music while the app is open. While the Halloween update was great in terms of evolving rarer Pokémon and updating my PokeDex, my area, a large college campus, still only sees a limited amount of basic Pokémon. Additionally, I live near the water, clearly displayed on the map, and have not once seen a water Pokémon appear in the game near my house, which is a huge disappointment.
