Frankly, after about a week of playing and being level 22... I'm starting to lose interest already. The game is very shallow and there really isn't much to it. The biggest problem is the combat system. Anything would have been better than what we have now, I don't understand why they didn't just keep a turn based combat, it couldn't have been any worse than the "spam tap" combat we have right now.
The balancing of city vs. nature is horrendous, there is no reason to ever go out into nature because there's practically no pokemon and stops there. The game should reward you for getting out there, it's Pokemon GO, right? But it feels more like Pokemon SIT at many times because of how efficient it is to go downtown and sit on top of 3 permalured pokestops which handily also give you all the balls you need to keep going.
The servers are awful and they haven't fixed the 3 footprint problem in like four days now. Balance is also completely wack, water as a type is broken OP as shown by most of the top tier pokemon being water type, especially the ones carrying water gun. Meanwhile some types such as fighting are almost unusably bad.
All in all I'm just wondering "Why am I still doing this?" and the only answer I can come up with is to get stronger pokemon so I can better fight gyms.... but the combat system is just that bad and I find it hard to even care about the gyms considering how easy it is to take them back, attackers are favored very, very heavily, there isn't even a cooldown on attacking a gym.
I don't know, I appreciate what this game did in terms of bringing people together, getting them out there (even if it's just into town and not into nature) and having everyone socialize a bit while getting fresh air.
But in the end it's a very shallow experience with bad gameplay at its core and I don't see the addition of 1v1 duels with friends or trading helping this really.

>Have a ~1400 CP Victreebel
>Both moves are STAB, Razor Leaf and Solar Beam
>STILL gets wrecked by Vaporeons up to 300 CP below it.
So many gyms I come across is either stacked with Vaporeons or there's at least one in the ranks somewhere. HP is such an imbalanced stat right now, why the hell am I not able to wreck these gyms with my Victreebel alone?
I'm not even bad at gyms either, I learned how to time dodges properly, but if I ever so much as stop to use Solar Beam it manages to knock out a quarter to a third of my HP in the meantime. How the hell is my SE Solar Beam doing an equal percent of HP to it as it's NVE Hydro Pump??

Do you have a satellite phone? No? That's why there aren't any Pokemon out in "nature."

Had the same problem using my Exeggutor against Vaporeon. They did nerf Water Gun, but Vaporeon is so easy to get that it's still extremely prevalent. I haven't even bothered doing the gyms since the update since I can never find enough potions to heal my Pokemon. It's not worth it to attack gyms unless you have a car full of friends on the same team to ride around with you, because your gym with only one Pokemon on it will get taken back within minutes otherwise. I wish they would have just kept the game turn based to keep it fair, especially when lag can fuck you over so much.

Lol, I wrote this post. Like over a week ago.
Why did someone go back and copypaste it? Did I hit the nail on the head that well?

It's just a spinoff, it never meant to have the success it did.
GF lost big time, now new names are already working on GO clones that are actually interesting.

No, the reason there aren't any Pokemon "out in nature" is because the game specifically spawns them along roadsides and near public venues like malls.
Before all this recent mess with the scanners you could tell that pokemon -really- don't spawn in open areas of nothing like fields or forests, even in areas with good signal. The most you'll get are Pokemon that spawn along a walking trail in the city park.
