All images and names owned and trademarked by Nintendo, Niantic, The Pokémon Company, and Gamefreak are property of their respective owners.
Pokémon Go is a 2016 augmented reality (AR) mobile game developed and published by Niantic in collaboration with The Pokémon Company for iOS and Android devices. A part of the Pokémon franchise, the game is the result of a collaboration between Niantic, Nintendo and The Pokémon Company. It uses the mobile device GPS to locate, capture, battle, and train virtual creatures, called Pokémon, which appear as if they are in the player's real-world location. The game is free to play; it uses a freemium business model and supports in-app purchases for additional in-game items. The game launched with around 150 species of Pokémon, which had increased to around 500 by 2019.
Pokémon Go was released to mixed reviews; critics praised the concept, but criticized technical problems. It was one of the most used and profitable mobile apps in 2016, having been downloaded more than 500 million times worldwide by the end of the year. It is credited with popularizing location-based and AR technology, promoting physical activity, and helping local businesses grow due to increased foot traffic. However, it attracted controversy for contributing to accidents and creating public nuisances. Various governments expressed concerns about security, and some countries regulate its use. By early 2019, the game had over a billion global downloads, grossing over $3 billion in revenue. The game also had over 147 million monthly active users as of May 2018.

What happens when Pokemon Go's plug is yanked? There will be no backup. Here's what I recommend. If you're a 'dex player, get Pokemon Home and transfer one of everything there to ensure your 'dex lives there. The signs of Pokemon Go just collapsing are all over. There's not backups unless Nintendo takes it over and if they did, it would suck in entirely different ways. So.... Pokemon home is ideal for the 'dex players.

Honestly, the only reason why I keep playing is because I just love the pokemon franchise and now I get to play pokemon while I walk and have that integrated into exercise, but with things like the game nerfing the amount of poke balls you get from stops during events and the remote raid prices, Niantic is really souring my love of the game, I didn’t even buy the DLC for scarlet and violet because for some reason I just thought it would be a let down just like how the company is letting Niantic ruin pogo.

I actually didn't think the S/V DLC was a let down. The terrarium in the Indigo Disc and giving miraidon/koriadon the ability to fly indefinitely was amazing. If you're story driven maybe it won't be as rewarding for you because the story itself is fairly short, but I like completing my dex and exploring in S/V so it scratched my itch for that.

I played becos it motivated me to go out. But i kept it very casual with little to no spending cos Niantic is a disappointment in many aspects of the game...as they said "a lot of the players r casual grandmas". Since that is their view point, then u know that the game will be very painful for hardcore players. So just go with the flow, less expectation less spending less letdown.

I think one competitive aspect they could add to Pokemon Go: Contests. They were really popular in Gen 3 and 4 and we're already doing Showcases for the biggest Pokemon so it would be fun to do Contest categories for things like shinies, lucky Pokemon, the best overall for a certain Pokemon in terms of stats and such, etc...

I dont play anymore. The last month I have done in everyday 20 minutes catch, done a research and then closed the game and now not been in for days. The remote nerf was bad and now the avatar 🤢 Niantic does NOT deserve to have/hold this game. They dont speak or listen to the players and that's is the main problem. They don't deserve the money we spend in this game.

I play because I like it and also it is a nostalgia feeling probably from when I was a kid watching the show and playing with the cards. Also like to see people that couldn't get a shiny get a shiny it's awesome to see a whole crowd having fun and actually playing a game we all enjoyed at one time . Also to be able to free roam and catch pokemon also getting shinies that didn't have before that what keeps me playing I started 2 years ago and have over 1200 shinies and have over 40 hundos and 6 shundos.

I play because i enjoy the core mechanics and gameplay loop. I've never transferred a shiny and would like to get to a place where deleting them is needed to continue to play. Exp and dust goals always feel super good to hit. I remember thinking i would never hit lvl 40 and now the end goal for me is 1 billion exp. As a lucky collector a full living lucky dex really drives me to catch, trade and grind. I play because i love getting out the house and exercising and pogo is the only real thing that motivates me enough. I play because it's the one gaming thing my wife enjoys doing with me. I play because i'll always be able to play pogo for free because i've put so much time and dedications into it already. I got bored of the main series games after gen 3 and only watched up till gen 5. So pogo is a way for me to experience pokemon in the later and newest gens without doing something i find boring. I play because i'm a shy unconfident guy on the inside, but you would never know that these days because of my love of pokemon go pushing me to be more social and outgoing. I play because i love to gamble and the game is kinda built on RNG and so much of it is free. I play because i'm very lucky to live in a very good area for it without being a city. I play because it's a great way to make friends and network. I've had so many conversation, friends and interactions with all ages i never would have without pogo. And i've been given so many opportunities to do and experience things because of pogo. And i think pokemon go has brought me and my wife closer together.

But recently I connected our local Pokemon Go players via campfire and now I get out and see actual humans at least once a week and just shoot the breeze with people. I finally understand why bar hoppers find sitting down and chatting people up fun, and it's thinks to Pokemon Go that I get to do that.

Ever sense I got Pokémon Red on Gameboy back in 98 I've been trying to catch them all, that much hasn't changed. It's the hunt, the excitement when you get that one you've been grinding for. My perfect Tyranitar and Victreebel, the shinies of the same, my decent IV shiny Lucario, each one spuring me on to find the next one. But my biggest motivator currently is the possibility of finally getting Mega Lucario, which is my number one favorite Pokémon period.

I did play in the beginning of Pokemon Go, but I left in 2018 when I had many other things to do. I came back last November, and I still enjoy it. I also think that they added a lot of new and interesting things between 2018 and 2023. Besides, it got me go outside during winter, and I enjoyed that a lot. The one thing that annoys me at the moment is that I keep having the app close on me since the latest bunch of updates.

Some main reasons why I keep playing currently: I love the Pokemon franchise and am really close to hitting level 50. I also like to hatch eggs, do routes and such while going on walks/runs or just doing errands in town. I'm doing my best to be F2P so I battle and hold a lot of gyms to earn Pokecoins. I like to aquire strong Pokemon for gyms, raids, and PvP. And I li 6:33 ke to earn platinum medals, more specifically trying to achieve the 10,000 km medal and am over 8k at this point, and the medal for best buddies so I've been working a lot on that.

Part of it is because I am a completionist. I have completed my pokedex in every Pokemon game since Gold/Silver (not the remakes, the originals), and Pokemon Go has a dex, so there for I feel a desire to complete it. Thankfully I don't feel so compelled to complete very variety of the dex, but who knows, when I complete the main one maybe that bug will hit me. The second reason though is because it does give me a a bit of a drive to get outside and makes walking around more motivating/enjoyable. I'm a couch potato and I've walked more distance because of something in Pokemon Go than any time before starting the game. So I stick with it for positive health reasons too.

Day 1 player here and I *play almost everyday* at least for the 1st catch/spin of the day and research task. I mainly play to complete my pending special research, completing the pokedex (I have everything except the super rare pokemon like Frigibax / Volcarona / newer regional pokemon), community day, research days, and Go Fest (If I'm able to). Like you mentioned I have a lot of great raid attackers so I don't raid as much as I used to. I hate the buddy system as it is very tedious but I'm trying to do it more to finish the Masterwork Research: Wish Granted which requires 10 best buddies. I rarely do PVP as I don't feel like investing in stardust for something that goes out of the meta in a couple of months so I just use my same pokemon I've been using since PVP came out which also gets kind of boring.

We like to take our son out walking to exercise and to possibly get Pokémon shinies that we don’t have. Unfortunately all the parks around here are trash, and you never get shinies unless you go through parking lots or neighborhoods or driving down the street. I’ve gotten most of my shinys literally driving down the street.

I generally spend about 2+ hours a day outside walking, and PG is something to do while I walk. I like collecting and organizing collections, trying to fill out the dex, and powering up various teams to make efficient work of raid bosses. I don't care for PvP at all. And as far as shundos, I don't have a single one, never caught one in my years of playing, so I just figure I'll never catch one.

I use my go plus a lot on the way to work. And at work there is a few pokestops so I set it up to spin stops to refill items. I mainly play whenever I go outside. If I’m going shopping or running errands or going to and from work. I don’t raid as much as most people I try to get a few done for each new Pokémon released in raids. Mewtwo, primal Kyogre and Groudon have been the exception I did a bunch of those raids. I mainly raid in person. I only buy remotes rarely during winter when it’s too cold. I don’t pvp unless there is a quest for it, and even then I use little Pokémon and just let people beat me.

PVP, new shinies, new pokemon additions, good IV pokemon. I also enjoy getting best buddy ribbons on my favorites but I don't grind them by any means. Been playing since launch and only every got one shundo. Also sunk cost fallacy unfortunately.

Pokemon is life. I can have any team of mons at will. I log in when I go out and see if I can participate gyms/raids. I barely play anymore but I do schedule my playtime with rockets. All I'm trying to do now is get shadows, best buddy, Mega energy 🤷‍♂️

I play because I travel other countries by bicycle and love walking. 417 miles of recorded walking so far this year with a large amount of that because of pokemon go. It’s a great way to get outside. I’ve also gotten a handful of people at work to hang out outside of work. I hope niantic can keep the game mechanics fun to keep getting people outside

1) I play, because it's Pokémon. I love Pokémon. 2) Because of the nostalgia of original release, and all the friends, during those first 2 to 5 months, during summer 2016. 3) I'm a collector / completionist. I want more medals. I wanna finish the medals. Level bronze, silver, gold, platinum. I wanna max out. Ummmm... pokedexes of different gens. The lucky dex. The shiny dex. Complete those. Get more of my local gyms 'gold'. 4) I wanna hit level 50. 5) getting, collecting, hundos. AND maxing them out. 6) interacting with my mons ♡ ❤️ 7) it makes walking and exploring, so much better. It gives me a reason to walk and explore. And hang out / walk with my dog. Or explore my city.

Hey, Count. I've been saying this for years now, but the issue I see with the game is that there isn't really much for the majority to latch on to. Sure, you have shiny collectors, Pikachu collectors, etc., but there's nothing that you can really do with most of them if you don't PVP. It's all fast food. The solution for me is this, create a new PVE system where you battle evolved forms that spawn in the wild at parks, comm centers, and malls when you use 3-6 different low tier Pokémon. If you win, you'll get a chance to receive premium items like the stuff we get from showcases.

I have completed the first 5 poke dex's, with 2 exceptions. Maniphe, Phione and Arceus have not been dropped in Go so clearly I need them to finish it out but I have all the rest. I need to evolve a larvesta into volcarona. I have the candy but haven't done it yet cause I want good IV's before I do that. What motivates me is getting pokemon with good PVP IV's to play in my local tournaments. I want to keep playing the go battle league. I also am looking to get the complete shiny dex. I need shiny paras, shiny venonat and shiny jynx to complete my kanto shiny dex. I need like 9 or 10 for johto. I also want to level 50 some pokemon and I need dust and candy for that so I'm still catching a lot of pokemon just to send them to the professor. I'm level 46 and still grinding up to level 50. I think taking an item from the anime would be a good idea, the world corronation series. If your status is online random players can challenge you to a battle outside of the GBL and your rank will be posted on in game leader boards. you should be able to set it to in game only so you don't have to really talk to people but that could be fun.

Sunk-cost-fallacy xD But seriously, because Pokémon was a huge part of my childhood, and it's nice to catch pokémon while wandering around the wonderful world we live in. I also think there should be a more fun side to pvp, so players who don't have meta 'mons can still compete and have fun. I know they run those random cups from time-to-time, but something more rewarding for playing non-meta pvp.

gbl is the only reason i'm staying. I know there are a lot of issues with it but the core concept is brilliant to me. Especially with the new buffs/nerfs recently balancing the meta. They could totally do the rental team thing like they did in scarlet / violet that people could use for a certain amount of games.

Not everyone has everything I left the game over 5 years ago when we were expecting our son and now he love Pokemon and has me back playing with him so we are missing loads and are looking forward to all the megas coming back and it’s great to see them we are all so missing Mewtwo can’t weight for them to come back we don’t have loads of counters to all the bosses. Also pokemon got as pvp rewards should have more IVs inline with PvP so makes it easier to get into

Pokémon go used to feel like a fun adventure. Now, it feels like a mobile game that you just turn off your brain on and just grind. I started playing “the ants underground kingdom” and I’ve noticed that I’m getting the same feelings from both

As a solo rural player with only one gym and one stop, I had to use my imagination for too long to make fun from the pieces that Nianctic decided to give me. I decided to walk away from the game but I would love to come back! If only there was something to do and giving it support didn't feel... dirty? I don't think that's the right word but, it definitely feels bad giving Nianctic money when they so obviously and loudly do not care about me as a player.

I do daily walks as physio for L5/S1 disc protrusion. It's fun for a bit of exercise beneficial gaming. Keen to get to the point where my son m, wife and I can handle any raid we want to do. And yeah PVP would be nice if it wasn't so polarising to have to have 1 stat set for raids and one for PVP. It's just tedious.

I definitely agree that they could use to add some more ways for players to compete. Gyms were never really a competitive mechanic. Any determined player will take a gym down no matter what. PvP is great and the rotating cups keeps it fairly fresh for quite a while. Even harder raids might be an interesting mechanic but also lock players without big groups. I play because I still find it fun. But, I also think the gameplay elements they have been adding over the last year have been flops. I’m all for the quality of life they’ve been adding but the game needs more gameplay loops for players to engage each other in.

I barley play anymore. Today was one day I did play. I did do 100 plus field research today for the flock together event. I only got 4 shines out of over a hundred. One of the shiny I got was a Spearow and I had already completed that shiny family. The other 3 shiny I got were two Rufflet and 1 doduo and those were new. At least I was able to complete the shiny rufflet family. It would have been nice to complete the doduo shinny family as well. The shiny rates sucked that's for sure. I'm debating if it was even worth playing the event. Niantic should come up with an algorithm to give us new shinnies for event like this. If we are going to put in the time we should be rewarded.
