Lost Player

Edit: I tried this game again for the July 2017 legendary event after urging from my wife. We did legendary raids all day on Sunday. I had 8 eight victories in 12 attempts, but zero, repeat ZERO captures. Left me thinking wth did I try it again? More of the same, lots if grind and no reward. Talking with other raiders my experience was not unique. Raids groups of 20 and 3 would get a capture. We paid real $$$ for coins for raid passes. Makes me feel like a sucker.

I used to play this a lot with my wife and kids. My biggest "like" was that it got the whole family outside together. We could bike places and always talk the kids into it because we could mounts phones on the handlebars and pick up extra distance. I even used it in my solo exercise rides. However, all of those seem to be too fast now. I barely get any distance registered when riding. My kids got bored with the grind starting at level 20, and my wife is disappointed with the variety (or lack there of) of Pokémon in the our area. Favorite pokestops seem to no longer have Pokémon to catch either. Even putting on a lure is disappointing. All in all, this is a game that has lost its way. Its too burdened by restrictions, and lost the fun factors of why it was great. FWIW, the external Pokémon finder websites had been a favorite of ours. We tried all sorts of new parks and restaurants back when we could look up what spawned where. When that was killed, so was a major part of our interest in the game
