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.

The most annoying thing pokemon players have to deal with is simply Niantic.

[@edmondYJ]

*DELETE UNWANTED EGGS*

[@diablocell]

Never happen. That hurts the bottom dollar on incubator $ales

[@francismendoza7997]

It's not going to happen because it's a feature that doesn't exist in the main games so take it up with the pokemon company the closest thing that they could give you is a a trade option

[@courraffe]

yes please

[@SeussGo]

YESSSSS

[@tresnalder2149]

kind of a trivial thing but clicking on pokemon in gyms is sometimes annoying. Clicking on small ones or overlapping ones or ones that are behind the berry so you accidentally feed another golden razz to the same pokemon. I wish they would just add arrows to go from mon to mon.

[@mrmoose6619]

Definitely. This is an issue that I get a lot... having to click back and forth a few times in a row to get to a smaller one or stacked one to feed in gyms.

[@dork_3nergy]

Yep, cause your finger is trying to select the Pokemon model you want, you keep going back to the Snorlax when you want to Berry the Pidgey. Their 'interact zone' is dependent on the size of the model.

[@JasonBoyce]

You can swipe left or right to move between them, but it doesn’t always work correctly

[@louisedykes4794]

Yes yes yes can’t get at them all to feed them

[@911CEAn]

Its the rhyperiora for me. Completely blocks chansey and blissey

[@seanjackson3072]

You forgot to add how many times the app crashes or freezes everyday

[@davidhensey2000]

Sending and opening gifts one by one is so annoying, just give us the option to mass open and send. Also trades is such annoying long process. I live with 😊 another trainer and have plenty of friends who play and we never trade because how much time it takes with all the animations.

[@damoncarver153]

Speaking of Raids (and this just happened to me last night when doing a necrozma raid), when doing a raid or in the lobby of raid, some players will chicken out and leave at the very last second leaving all the other players in the raid boss and no longer be able to beat it. This really sucks because then all of those trainers essentially lost a raid pass, even more when it’s a remote pass lost as they lost $2 and one of their 5 allowed remote raids.

[@BennieSz]

1000% this!

[@diablocell]

They could easily prevent this with a pop up after the timer hits 0. "It looks like some trainers left the lobby. Do you still want to continue?" Something like that

[@Norrin_Raddical]

This is by far the most annoying thing in the game hands down. I stopped accepting remote raid invitations from one specific player bc of this very reason. They have burned me a couple of times by backing out at the very last second, especially when we would have won the raid if they stayed. Super frustrating to waste the rare remote raid pass that I spent actual money on. Niantic could make this less of a problem if they just allowed us to invite more players to the remote raids or to allow remote raiders to also invite other players.

[@flamingwrecker2598]

The most annoying thing I have to deal with is dead raid lobbies it is so hard to get a raid going unless it’s an event like community day GoFest and GoTour.

[@famousashtray]

I used to raid all the time. 😢

[@zinnbelt1418]

090253747380 Raid everyday and looking for more rading trainers.

[@flamingwrecker2598]

@@famousashtray I use third party raid apps to do all my raiding on non event days

[@falleman]

Pokémon moving sideways when trying to catch them is the bane of my existence. Also Lugias catch hitbox is trash. Its movement makes it almost impossible to catch.

[@BennieSz]

Missing remote raid invites because I’m too busy gifting/clearing storage. Why not give us an option to see a notification when we are away from the main map? I feel so bad for people that try and invite me and I’m too late for the raid lobby 😢

[@romariolevy5513]

Most annoying thing is the random white screens in raids , were you need to restart your the app and hope you still have time to rejoin.

[@knoxville363]

1. Add on screen IVs instead of having to check them manually 2. Scale raid battles based on party size so people can battle all raids solo 3. If you are in a gym over a series of days, automatically give 50 coins if ur not knocked out every 24hrs.

[@mattv2099]

the most annoying thing is go is routes. the more I do them the more I hate them. It takes a perfectly good walk and makes it suck.

[@dork_3nergy]

It would be nice if those were more flexible. I made a couple of Routes and they all have a set minimum distance requirement to get the lines to connect from point A to point B. I ended up making really goofy looking routes due to this.

[@owenwildish331]

One thing I find annoying (particularly if there's a particular Pokemon I'd want to raid for) is when I get a raid invite, and there's no audio sound to indicate I've gotten the invite, just a brief message and a colour change in the bottom corner box, which is too easily missed, particularly if I'm distracted in any way.

[@MrCrispylikebacon]

I really don’t like the long animations it takes to do a lot of actions in the game like evolving a Pokémon or purifying you can’t just skip the animation if you are just doing it for research. As well as how hard it is to battle a friend who is right next to you. It is so hard to successfully get in a battle with someone who is a few feet away from you.

[@jamesashby4334]

Getting kicked out of a raid in the middle of the battle

[@Mike-Eye]

The 5 second pause when you take over a gym is super stupid.

[@ymcavalier3555]

One annoying thing is catching a Pokémon and it still stays on the screen, which tricks you into throwing another ball at it

[@citrustaco]

One thing that is annoying but I've seen no one else talking about, is the quick catch bug. When doing quick catch, on occasion after doing it, you cannot click on pokemon and rotating around the map acts jerky. Many others just restart their game, but if you have a pokemon in your stack, you can encounter that pokemon, then run away, and the game will "reset" itself and now you can click on pokemon and use the map again. This bug happens to me multiple times a day.

[@tomgrundy5060]

The Most Annoying Thing in Pokemon Go is dealing with other Pokemon Go players. It's pretty hard to find other POGO players to play with in real life because they are extremely socially awkward. Most prefer to play solo which defeats the purpose of community.

[@Duelerama90]

6:20 We do have Pkmn Home now for storage management. The only problem is, it's a one-way transfer and limited. 1 shiny legend or 5 of either uses all the transfer energy

[@Cimags1028]

Giving a second move accidentally is also annoying. Been there done that

[@charlesschwartz7284]

The constant frame drops. The lag when your doing your daily incense sometimes i cant even do anything and my game will crash and then i have to load back in and lose 2 minutes off my daily incense. When you see tons of pokemon in gyms but noone out and about doing raids or anything but then you see your pokemon gets knocked out of the gym. Battle league. Also niantic as whole company

[@gellyzer0949]

Especially cause the fact that we spending money ohhhh and they need too put a timer above rocket grunts it’s very annoying when I walk all the way toward a. Grunt and they disappear

[@jeff_uchiha]

I think the pvp algorithm system in my opinion is the most annoying thing to me , after winning a few wins you get hard counter on the next sets, it’s very obvious and that’s why people Tank on Pvp

[@dolphin1975]

The most irritating about pokemon go some players can fly some can't.

[@undeadcarnie]

I feel like Niantic makes the catch rates impossible as a means to punish the players. (Golden Berry + Ultra Ball + excellent throw) should equal a guaranteed catch on nearly all Pokemon, excluding legendary; but to use over 10 and still lose out is bull.

[@thejuniorcollector2426]

I accidently purified a 100% Shadow Porygon. Was going to power it up and was talking to a friend a double tapped the screen as I took my eyes off the phone. Still a hundo but still makes me sick.

[@CreateYourHeaven]

Winning battles in go battle league and not receiving a legendary is sooooo annoying. After you have done tons of battles. Also...since playing since 2016 to only ever have received 1 shundo and never a legendary hundo. The opening of gifts is such a drag and theres literally no point in lucky friends when you cant even trade with most friends in your list 😮 Thanks for the video, Jinsula 🎉

[@TreFKennedy]

Dope vid Count

[@bigwooh4367]

Just talking about raid bosses here: - animation breaks during raid boss battle, sometimes your pokemon disappears during battle while you are tapping - game crashing while raiding or catching, and if this happens near the end of the raid boss timer, you can't re-enter again

[@youngsmooth8318]

Especially when we are paying for these premium and remote raid passes. You throw 4 excellent throws in a row and these things are still popping out the ball immediately. Like what’s the point of these berries and curve excellent throws if these Pokémon’s are popping out the ball without even one shake. The Pokemon energy should decrease with every pop out of a ball like it should cost the mon effort to break out of a ball.

[@leedaero]

When feeding berries to gyms it counts the stardust up in the corner- 30 per berry. If you delay the toss or have trouble getting to the next Pokemon the count starts over. It’s annoying.

[@mannysanosuke]

This scenario happened to me a lot. On the first throw, I would throw an excellent curve throw. The pokemon would then immediately pop out, even if the circle was green and I used a great or even ultra ball.

[@mrmoose6619]

Eggs. 5ks are too large for the regular incubator, but too small for the super incubator (at least in my opinion... I'll save those for the rare 10 & 12). The pool being mostly unwanted mons doesn't help things either (as of this post, it's 6/7 of the 2 egg or less chances.... Larvesta is almost impossible). I usually sit on about 7 of them in my 9 eggs total unincubated. When was the last time the 7k egg pool was changed? I'm tired of hatching those, even though I like more than 1/2 of them. I have more than enough candy for the ones I like. I wish we could trade them in until we get a few 2s or 10s.

[@thndercat1]

The current thing for me is: I live near a shopping Ctr and there’s no Gyms or stop, I am shocked. I live in a big city area but nothing for blocks away.

[@dork_3nergy]

I agree that those fidget animations during encounter screens are annoying. But I feel like the most frustrating portion of PoGo is defeating a Raid boss and knowing the IVs are bad. Nothing says 'Mood Killer' like a bad IV legendary you had to spend time and energy getting people to run the raid. That is a major reason why I don't do Shadow raids any more.

[@thndercat1]

You are so right on with everything

[@spiffy3106]

The moment they nerfed the remote raids i feel like it encouraged people to spoof even more

[@BillRoyMcBill]

I don't live where I have access to a PokiStop every day, it would be nice to get one free remote spin a day,, or something...you can't play with no balls or berries.

[@Gaming_Nerd1993]

I think the most annoying thing I would consider is the option to buy Great / Ultra Balls in the shop once you unlock them by leveling up for 2x / 4x for the same number of Poke Balls within the game itself.

[@Chris-xm5bm]

Incense and mystery boxes that just dont work effectively, spawns for both get ‘stuck’ and you have to unstick them by clicking in and out of your friends list. When you do this it almost always results in an immediate spawn (for reference Im using android)

[@eggizon]

The most heartbreaking is that you also loose a remote raid pass 😅

[@travishomewood8657]

My biggest issue with storage space is I keep thinking this game is about to pop off big in my area and people are going to want all these shinies for trades. I only have like 6-700 shinies so not even a ton compared to a lot of players. but that's taking up a lot of bag space. Same with regionals. I want to help newer players or someone who didn't have access so I don't want to trash my regionals but I need bag space occasionally.

[@ArtimusDragon]

And you know what really sucks? Catching the raid boss is a bonus challenge. Who the hell thought that this should be a challenge?! Also annoying is everything still saying 2+ days ago, friends list not having tags, and so many other things.

[@jenerdahl1586]

Having to meet up in person to trade that take a minute. Long distance trading would help a lot

[@Daemonicon]

The no catch thing happened to me with a hundo cobalion so I feel you

[@zameroth]

The Tag and Transfer buttons should not be close together. I've accidentally transferred out 6 hundos while sorting with tags.

[@diablocell]

In person raids that feature a trash pokemon that will likely have trash IVs. You CANNOT get people to show up for these.

[@chaosdragun1608]

What I find most annoying is the game is designed in such a way that people have to spend thousands of dollars on travel just to have an amazing experience. I wonder how much more fun the game would be if it was designed with a joystick and we just interact digitally. Having it be worldwide is awesome but the limitations of having to physically be in a place to play is a big turn off and without the Pokemon name behind it I think the game fails. Just imagine if we could use the world map but get around virtually incorporating things like the bike, SS Anne & other story based transportation systems....the ultimate mmo for Pokemon. Really think they missed the mark pushing to make it a fitness device for Pokemon.

[@KatrinaVoshell]

I really hate PVP so what annoys me is all the PVP battles I need to when in order to level up to 44. I’ve collected all the XP for leveling up but have only won half the battles needed.

[@MinhTran-tj4wq]

I just experience that today where 95% of my throws were excellent and it still ran away. Frustrating! I don’t think it’s not that hard to increase the chance of catching the Pokemon everytime making an excellent throw. That way the more excellent you make the better chance you have.

[@Blazini1980]

One very annoying thing for me is that some pokemon will take 10 balls AND 10 berries to catch it and then only for it to have horrible IVs. I tested this once once when I had an excess amount of Ultra balls and Golden berries. I ran into a Glameow and it took the 10 Ultra Ballas and Golden berries with horrible IVs. Ever since then if the pokemon isn't relevant to raids or pvp and it is not caught by the 3rd ball, I move on.

[@botanist62]

Heres another annoying thing. Vivillion. And gifts. I have friends from around the globe, and I have collected all the vivillion. In the past seasons, I purchased the $10 ticket specifically because it allowed me to hold and open 40 gifts. I see people complaining daily on pages or reddit or messenger groups about people not opening gifts. Well, I can't open enough gifts--ever. When it was 40 per day, I had a system that worked, and when I could hold 40, that was my bedtime ritual, to send all my gifts. Right now, I am so behind and it's also stupid that everyone is 2+ days between interactions. I actually hope I'm dead of old age before shiny vivillions are released because Niantic moves so slowly AND the gift grind is so unreasonably SLOW.

[@spoon8142]

In addition to the storage space annoyance... If niantic would take the cap off of special trades, that would help a lot. My storage is always maxed out7800. I have a lot of legendary that I don't want to just toss because of XXL candy potential or poss lucky improvement. So, why now, after 8 years are we still only allowed one special a day? Excluding this seasonal event. Can't we have 5 a day? If I can raid 100 a day, is it too much to ask? Or, instead of one daily, how about 7 weekly? We end up seeing everyone on Wednesday but only one special a day 😅

[@PrestonGraff]

I hate it when I'm doing a raid and I'm using lvl 50 shadow pokemon that I spent millions of stardust on, and then everyone else in the raid isn't even using counters, isn't mega evolving, etc. etc. and it takes like an extra minute to beat the raid and we get less balls, or sometime's can't evfen beat it. The "recommended" pokemon needs to be fixed, it should always be counters with the highest dps possible. There's no reason someone should be using a rhyperior against a Necrozma, and there's all kinds of different people that play the game with varrying amounts of knowledge, so the recommended pokemon in raids and gym battles should always be the highest dps counters possible for those that don't take time to learn. Also speaking of gym battles, gyms need a rework, or at least fix the glitch that switches out your pokemon without your control

[@puinsaiguy]

Also go plus + don't collect sleep data! I missed out on the timed research!

[@DezMitchell5]

I’m with you on the catching. I think there should be something dealing with skill level for catching. This morning I hit 15 excellent throws with golden berries on Yveltal and it got away and another with similar results.

[@DezMitchell5]

It also makes me feel a certain way because I am one of the ones that spends money in the game.

[@rotemsbox]

today there are 2 bad luck protections in raid boss catching. first is obviously the master ball. second is a slightly better catch rate after each time the boss wasnt caught. silphroad research proven that and found every throw have better catch rate than the previous and when you get to the last premiere ball the catch rate is about twice better than in the first throw

[@markrinaldi8485]

They update the game and it keeps crashing once it opens it's so annoying. They should fix the bug. Rant over

[@procrastinator547]

Returning player. Remote raids should just be available daily. Wish it counted biking distance but ik that won’t happen. Storage is definitely an issue. Also aiming throws is extremely annoying. Several times I swearrrr I should have had excellent throws for the game to just go “nah”. Couldn’t there be a tiny bit more leeway? Appraising is so annoying. I don’t feel like doing it for every Pokemon, why can’t it just show up when caught? Feels like Niantic hates their players

[@somedude8873]

Before watching here’s my list: The use of default animations that don’t match with quick move speed. Seriously, it pisses me off a lot and makes the game look cringe 😂 Constant disconnections during raids, especially during party play remote invites which I can’t rejoin and have to contact Niantic to get it refunded. Lag during GBL. Lack of tag customization (colors, symbols) Not being able to wait to accept friendship bonus xp for later (they added a lucky egg feature that can be held off by closing the game but then you cant play). Lack of Pokestops in my rural area… Limited box selection. Seriously, why? Id spend more if I had all the options or at least more than 6. Not having separate boxes for Pokemon like the main games. I should be able to have a box for luckies, shadows, pvp Pokemon; or whatever I decide. Makes it easier to sift through. The nearby sucks. I get good spawns near me but because Im rural, my connection outside sucks. There was an Azelf on my nearby but it was on the very bottom of the list. Had I not opened the nearby, I wouldnt have had a clue it was even nearby.

[@botanist62]

For catch animations, I use a few nanab berries and then golden razz.

[@thekweewee]

I got my first Annihilape to max level for the Ultra League and went on to Best Buddying it. Of course the extra level boost made it no longer viable for that league. Oops

[@raindanse8466]

Collecting stupid Candy XL and not able to use any of them.

[@rotemsbox]

the too long catch trade and other animations kills the game

[@rrogers2370]

My app constantly restarts during raids.

[@djbrulocc]

Most annoying would be trying to catch kartana geez and the game be taking too long to do everything.

[@jeffreybyrd2081]

They should allow you to trade shadow pokemon among other things

[@ditokelio7860]

I have lost so much xp because the pokemon breaks out of my excellent throw then the next throw i miss and it stays in -_-

[@ThatGuy-cb3yv]

[@chrisloh6147]

[@mindandmachine01]

People who want to do more than 5 remote raids per day should just play another game imo. Pokemon Go is all about exploring the world, remote raids are cringe in the first place.

[@gwvaio]

I'm very proficient at ball throwing

[@gregfrazer6892]

Animations. Would love the ability to limit these.

[@DaRkSoUl13flare]

Just reinstalled the game. Again. Played 3 matches and got hard countered for all 3. Why am I being punished for powering up XL pokemon? This game is a joke. I'm uninstalling the game again. Taking my money elsewhere 🤣🚮

[@dd23fire]

The most annoying thing is to have to look at the app on the phone 😂 the decision to turn it on or keep it off.

[@LeeArdz]

Poo

[@8aconWhisperer]

Yeaaaa... I haven't watched the video but this is another YT pogo player I will be unsubscribing to. They constantly complain about a game that doesn't make any "new" improvements while recycling the same stuff they complain about every year. ✌🏽
