Ratings and reviews

Tons of bugs, lots of lag, many inefficiencies. One of the worst things is the amount of white flashes and lack of dark mode. For a game meant to be played on the go, however, the most aggravating thing is how long it takes to do things. Sometimes you can skip through certain text, other times you must wait for the list to finish it's sequence before moving on. When walking with an incense on, for example, you must stop walking for every encounter if you want to catch every Pokemon you see.

I used to love this game but now it crashes EVERYTIME I try to play it. It would load up, go to the black screen with the loading PokeBall in the top left corner, then crash. And before that I went thru 7 BATTLES that crashed just as it was saying "Go". It's starting to get irritating. And I don't like getting irritated. Especially since I have spent USD in this game.......

Me: Please give us the option of turning off the new "enhanced" graphics and environments so my phone can actually play your game like it used to. Niantic: Best I can do is pixelated textures. Keep optimizing. I can see some improvement in performance, but textures still look like SNES spirits (they used to look normal on this phone), and there's STILL no option to turn off the new environments. Catching is still a chore, and the game still crashes often. The improvements are extremely minor.
