The Game Is Fun BUT...
First, the release of Mewtwo is a BIG deal. From what Ive read you need to be "invited" to these raids. There are many flaws to this raid system:
1) If you are "invited" to these raids for Mewtwo, even if you are given ample time how could someone who works for a living get to these raids? You cant just call out of work, or leave for hours if the gym is far away.
-Niantic if you want people to continue playing this game you need to let people do these "invite only raids" from where ever they are located. We shouldnt have to travel to a gym just for a raid, its ridiculous and unacceptable.
2) The capture rates are WAY too low for these legendaries. Ive caught 1 out of 15 attempts on all legendaries. I dont have the luxury of walking or driving around all day everyday to catch one, so when the opportunity does arise and its a fail, it turns me away from the game.
3) The gym system is completely flawed. Youre capped at 50 coins a day no matter how many Pokémon you throw in different gyms. I understand you need to make money as a business but be a little more generous to the people who actually KEEP you in business.
4) Raids ending around 7:30-8 p.m. is way too early. Again, the average worker either works a 9-5 or 1-9 or anywhere in between. By the time someone gets out of work were lucky if we can find one good raid, let alone have enough people there to participate. Youre limiting your window of availability to the working class.
Overall this game is fun, and nostalgic but there needs to be A LOT of changes made in order to keep faithful players coming back. GET WITH IT NIANTIC!
