Ratings and reviews

It is clear to see why this game exploded in popularity in 2016, the art, music, in-game events and Pokemon catching, battling and trading itself was a gamebreaking concept back then, which hasn't changed all too much recently. However, though real money is not neccessary to play, the increasing amount of paid tickets for extra rewards in the game can be pressuring for people to spend their money on the items in the store. Overall, the game is fantastic, though there are still issues it faces.

While Pokemon Go offers an engaging and immersive experience, I’ve encountered some issues that could be improved. One aspect that stands out is the difficulty in catching Pokemon while being a passenger in a moving vehicle. The game seems to have a mechanism where if the player moves too far away from the Pokemon they’ve thrown a Pokeball at, the catch automatically fails. This not only results in a loss of Pokeballs but also limits the ability to play the game during commutes or travels. It

So it's a really good game, I play daily, pretty fun to catch the mons and raid and stuff. But if it wasn't for the new feature, the one where it has the background changes to make it more realistic and stuff has made the app glitch like never before. It used to glitch a little at the opening of the app and I was fine with that, and I still have a good experience but when I even tap on a Pokemon it is very laggy. Rlly good game though. I have a android phone, but please fix this.
