Awesome Game with some Bugs
When this game was first being released I as well as the rest of the world was obviously psyched up to catch some Pokémon in real life. I started with VR on which was a very cool feature to add to the game but after a while became obsolete lol but no matter. In either event I dont have many gripes with the game, everyone is going to have their own opinions about what should or should not be added to the game but I think Niantic has been doing a stellar job for the most part.
If anyone from Niantic does read this by sheer luck however, some bugs that you may want to look into that I have experienced are that in raid battles a lot of the time after one of your Pokémon dies it is not replaced with the next one in line and in fact sometimes will replace it with a Pokémon that had already fainted and subsequently faints again upon reentering which wastes precious time in a raid battle. On top of that there have been times more and more frequently that I have gotten bounced out of a raid battle in the middle of it and had to log back into the game which takes way too much time to successfully win the battle.
I do agree with other users in a particular sense that as far as legendary and similarly high raids are concerned it is very difficult to win in the majority of areas that are not extremely popular i.e. large cities like Boston or LA but one suggestion I could make to Niantic that isnt too large of a request I would think is that if there is a raid battle going on perhaps the gym could somehow relay to any player walking around how many players are currently battling in the raid. It is definitely frustrating to be in an area where there very well could be a lot of people doing a raid like a shopping mall and you spend your precious only free raid pass of the day and come to find your the only one in it and are screwed lol.
In any event, I love the game and as far as a lot of the bugs are concerned I can completely understand that it is largely due to the surge in attendance especially during special events. I will gladly take the goods with the bads as long as Niantic keeps up the good work.
