I Tested 1 Star Pokémon GO Reviews

[@Smolived117]

Im just gonna say he is in a city and we're in the middle of nowhere with 8 pokestops in a span of 2 miles, in the city theres 9 pokestops every block, i only have 6 gyms in my whole town So half of these reviews are probably from the rural area community. "Its hard being rural"

[@Stesey-B]

Yeah I walk for an hour and get 6 spins but with the 10 daily gifts, daily box and 30 free balls from the daily incense I usually have just enough for the day, so I feel like some people may not take full advantage of what they get.

[@ITsRavgeYT]

I recommend the wayfair system it helps get stops and gyms put up. Ive gotten quite a few in rural area so its super good.

[@Smolived117]

@@ITsRavgeYT I've tried, but when your in the country, there is nothing Interesting according to Pokemons terms, to where they'll actually make it a pokestop 😭

[@sukmawadisulistyo3904]

You can make looping route with only 1 pokestop.

[@SRPSKIGANG]

I live in a village with one gym and 2 pokestops without any routes so if i want to do routes i need to go to the city (i went yesterday with friends but we are not able to do that often so is kinda almost impossible to get enough zigarde cells)

[@exfluffbucket]

Ok, you can’t judge the Zygarde cell one based off of a one day run. The reviewer was probably legit with his statement. I’ve had times where I’d go 3/4 routes with a cell everyday for a week or two, but then last week, I had two days where I went 3/8 routes producing cells in a single day. One of those days I went 5 routes in a row without a cell. Also to note I played a different area than the day before. Basically it’s RNG when it comes to routes. Some days you’ll get 3/3 cells/ routes, and other days you might not be so lucky and have to walk 5 extra routes.

I have my complete 100% Zygarde and I can confidently say that the most amount of routes I ever did in one day was 5 but that was a very rare occasion. Most of the time it was 3 or 4 routes to get 3 cells for that day. I know when it first came out it was harder and it was probably a lot more buggy but it seems to be a lot better now

I can see the complaints about the catch rate because the version .317 update did change the point of proper impact when catching Pokemon and made things a lot harder to catch normally (plus it felt like everything needed Nanab Berries). The .319 update that was pushed out the other day fixed this.

[@Peylix]

To be fair, the first review about the throwing distance was actually an issue. That review was left in the middle of June (0.3.17 ver) and throwing mechanics were absolutely borked until the most recent patch. That one was very much real.

I have complained SO much about the 50 coin thing. Before I knew about "50 coins TOTAL limit" not "50 coins daily limit" like they say it is. I had one in a gym for over a month and thought "yes I will finally get some coins to help me so something on this game". When I saw I only got 50 total I vowed to never put anything but my lowest CP mons in a gym. But even now i'll still get some thats in there for over a week.

i understand some people if they say they dont find any pokemons because if you are in an village its sometimes not even on the map of pokemon go and there are almost no pokemons spawning i was in an village and i only got 1 to 2 pokemons per day also in some places the routes go literally inside of an building that only opened at an special day and its the only nearby route or maybe there was an accident sooooo yeah also finding red pokemons is easy like ledyba

[@fdsgsdgable]

In raids, when all trainers are at the lobby healing, the boss heals itself, but gradually. It won't return to 100% immediatly... That's why when you duo/trio raid a tough boss, you should relobby in turns before all your pokemon faint, making sure the boss doesn't stay alone.

[@CorgiPlayz-yn7tq]

Honestly the review saying that you get put against Pokémon that have a type advantage against you is real, for like an entire day every time I battle, my party is: Boldore: rock type, I get forced to battle fighting types nonstop Swampert: ground and water, I always get forced to battle grass or water types, Charizard, forced to battle water types You see?

What he meant by regenerating health was that sometimes while solo-ing 3 star raids they literually have their health go up by maybe not the largest chunk but quite a small nibble but it keeps making me lose by like 10 hp

Mystic we need you to address the cheating in GBL (discord situation) no big KZbinrs have covered it and we need you to address the algorithm in GBL with 100% honestly because doesn’t become too blatant until you reach about rank 16 or so and anybody who grinds GBL knows this, it always happens when you win multiple battles in a row the game throws hard counters at you every battle after that is exactly what can take you out with no issue every single time it’s extremely frustrating

[@hgdias4952]

I won 5 games in a row with my picks next round they had hard counters and after I lost like 3 more i switched to the most random Pokemon on won 5 more after that again I lost they do be rigged sometimes I was winning at rank 16 and got matched against rank 13&12 and lost

10:50 - typical comment from someone who clearly doesn't focus on the GBL scene, because once you reach Rank 16 and higher, the ball park completely changes. Early ranks feature wild team compilations or casual battlers who don't play at a competitive level. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but your conclusion to bust a certain review is not a fair nor accurate assumption based on completely RPSing a casual at such a low rank. Do this from Rank 16 and the higher ranks, and your opinion will change. I can say this as a Legend Rank player myself. The GBL matchmaking system is designed to keep you around the 50 to 53% winstreak to try and keep you playing. You can run a "strong team" to RPS your opponents lies you did in that game, but eventually the game will pick up the fact that you have a winstreak going on and will pin you up against opponents teams that'll hard counter your own team to keep it around that percentage. This, is the algorithm. Every online video game with a matchmaking system has them, and this game is no different. You can however, overcome the algorithm and bad matchmaking if you learn and master the ins and outs of your team composition, including making high level plays. There's so much more to the ins and outs of GBL, but I'm only covering what I watched in this video.

the thing with raid bosses regaining health, i actually encountered it and if lag is high enough then most hits that would register will do damage but for some strange reason the lag will cause the raid boss to regenerate the damage done, plus another occurrence happened during a shadow raid where the same thing happened again so the theory is sorta true
