Version 1.39.0

As many other reviewers have noted, the remote gym feeding ability does not work; while it sounds like a cool new feature, for the moment it just tells you that you need to walk closer to interact, so just keep playing as if this feature doesnt exist like you did prior to this update. No biggie, and Ill save some berries in the meantime!

Overall the recent updates have been fantastic (I hadnt touched the game since last fall when I got bored of it, now Im back to walking several miles daily), and I cant wait for more generations of Pokémon and new features to be added!

Things I would like addressed/changed in future updates:

• Raise the daily cap on earning coins by defending gyms. It is currently 50/day, but I think 100 would be more attractive to all the serious players.

• Fix gym errors. Far too often I will be taking over a gym (WITHIN range), and after a few battles I will get kicked out with a red "Error" message and be unable to finish what I started. This is frustrating when I have walked specifically to a location to kick some butt only to have to wait for the gym to "reset" (usually 10 minutes), and in several cases the defending team has been able to reload the gym to make up for the ones Ive kicked out. Sad!

• Id like to know more about my Pokémons stats. I understand that there are inherent qualities that can be slightly teased out through the "appraise" feature, but just a few more hard numbers (defense and max stats, specifically) would be helpful when deciding which of two (or more) similar-CP are worth keeping. Or a more detailed CP arc across the top at the least.

• Night raids. I play primarily late at night, but fortunately I have a gym whose radius reaches to my front porch, so during the day Ill usually tackle a raid from there as I cant wander too far. But as a "dark-type" player, I would like the opportunity to do some raid battles on my own time. I understand the safety concerns for only having day raids, but perhaps a feature that allows a single player to summon a raid battle would be a good compromise (as in, the raid is only available to that player or their private group, not advertised to all players in the area for 2 hours in advance)?

• Platinum/Diamond gym badges. Currently they max out at gold.

• Make it easier for local groups/organizations to run sponsored regional events. Offer different tiers of packages that organizers can purchase, allowing them to either create a temporary gym or Pokéstop for their event and the ability to add item drops, rare nests, etc. Obviously thered be a lot of oversight for such a process (cant be used for political/religious events, lots of ToS stuff that nobody reads, etc.) and would probably require review for each proposal, which translates to staffing needs, so perhaps this isnt as neat of an idea as I initially thought. But its a suggestion nonetheless.

• Crossover characters. I know there are still many Pokémon yet to be added, but for fun Id love to see characters from the Mario/Zelda franchises, etc. pop up in the game! Wishful nerdy thinking...
