Close to Level 35. Been a long, tedious journey but here I am still playing loyally... pulling into parking lots for pokestops & being questioned & suspicioned by bystanders & cops, explaining to them "Im only playing Pokémon go!" Heres what I dislike about the game... SAME POKÉMON on every gym: Rhydons, Gyarados, Dragonite, Tyranitar, Snorlax, Vaporeon, & Blissy. Why? CP? Maybe Niantic should program the ladders of gyms to stand its order by way of "IV" strength for that particular Pokémon. If I have the STRONGEST Typhlosion for its species, it should be on top of the gym even if theres a higher CP Rhydon in the same gym. Also, Niantic programming believes it HELPS the "no-drive-and-play" cause for less car accidents... no no no... youre actually helping to CAUSE MORE accidents with your programming. There is no way to play this game without driving past enough pokestops to collect enough pokeballs often enough to play this game effectively. NO WAY. Were not going to live our lives driving to parks & walking through the same 2 or 3 pokestops repeatedly & be able survive in this game trying to catch a programmed 137 CP NASTY Pikachu that jumps out of 5 berries, 4 pokeballs, 3 great balls, 1 ultra ball & then runs away. NO WAY to get enough pokeballs to keep up without driving by pokestops to collect. And we CAN NOT pull over where many of these stops are located in the middle of the day in the midst of traffic. Its a major investment in time & gasoline. We can NOT creep around at night to visit these places. Ive had WAY too many run-ins with police. Maybe you SELL pokeballs this way, but This becomes NOT a fun game when a NASTY Pokémon steals balls as often as they do to regard the time one invests to drive out to distant Pokestops or pay money for balls.
Overall... Same ol same ol... I guess we gotta burn out sometime right? Are you okay with that? Fix the gyms somehow guys. Make gyms value OTHER Pokémon to defend them; not just Rhydon & Dragonite. Let us battle our friends somehow... I want to see my strong Golem & Machamp & Blastoise defend gyms! But they get the bottom of Gyms & get booted out quickly. I wanna battle more, but I gotta go drive to the same old churches. lame :/ Sorry guys. Im devoted. But I rate two stars for lack of creative vision lately to keep the game exciting for players at high levels. The events are great! But...fix these problems. I feel like if I was on the creative team, I could do better with my empathy for having played this game as seriously as I have for as long as I have. Sorry but I feel that way.
