Things Players HATE about Pokémon GO

[@c1b0rg_striker17]

For me it’s the daily 50 coin cap. I really want them to increase the cap to 100/200 a day. Also I think it would be great for some quests to give coins, or when you lvl up you get the amount of coins that your lvl is.

[@jerre002]

What's the most frustrating is that when a pokemon stays days in a gym, it doesn't give you coins until it returns. It should give coins for defending, not for being defeated.

[@ExxotikGaming]

Here’s what annoys me that wasn’t mentioned: #1 - They need to raise the max limit of gym badges; old gym badges you haven’t visited in a while disappear after you visit enough total gyms, and you sometimes lose badges that could’ve had significance from old trips you took in the past. #2 - The actual map of your gym badges in-game SUCKS. Like all of Florida is literally 3 pixels. What’s the point of a map if it’s such low-quality?? #3 - Purified Pokemon being a special trade; I don’t think a purified Machop justifies as a special trade tbh #4 - The fact they haven’t increased lucky chances in trades over the years. Like when they first introduced lucky trades, you had a decent chance of getting lucky from a 2016 Pokémon trade, even when the system was implemented in 2018 (2 years later); so why is it so much less of a chance to get a lucky trade with a Pokémon 3-4 years old today? I think they should keep things more linear so if you traded a 2019 Pokémon nowadays in 2023, you’d at least have almost the same chance as you did getting a 2016 Pokémon back in the day (because 2019 was a long time ago!) #5 - Inconsistencies with catch location on iOS vs. Android. Android seems to normally be more specific while iOS is more vague. They need to fix the iOS catch location! #6 - How Campfire is a SEPARATE app from Pokémon Go. Pretty much none of my friends I’m lucky with use Campfire, so it would be really nice to be able to message in-app telling them I’d like to trade…but nope, I guess that’s not happening 🙄 #7 - The 50-coin per day limit. How frustrating is it if you add 2 Pokémon in gyms in some far-out place, and they both survive 200+ days, but since they were right next to one another, they get knocked out at the same time! And you only get 50 coins because of it?! And so many more…I’ll add more to this list when I think of stuff lol. But sorry for the long comment - great video as always man! Been watching you for quite a while. Keep it up! 😁

[@natedeanmaan2]

One thing I would like to add is the lack of making your Pokémon stronger. The only way we can get a Pokémon's stats increased is to purify them. Outside of that is trading the Pokémon and hoping the stats are either respectable or a 100%

Yeah i joined go after they removed that and now im jealous

[@SirGriefALot]

They should make them half price if you buy 6 or 10 or something. $1 a raid can get a little expensive and most of the time I'd rather spend that money/coins on inventory space or incubators.

[@dizzydee6362]

​@@SirGriefALot It used to be 250/3 passes but they raised the price back in May I believe. I guess because they wanted people to get back to using regular passes.

[@tonybro32]

One thing that no one mentions (& LITERALLY just happened to me) is when someone invites you to a raid, but then EVERYONE leaves the raid with 3 seconds left & you WASTE your hard earned remote pass because they didn’t think we were “strong enough”. If they gave us like 15 secs after the raid started to back out & NOT waste a pass (realizing you’re the only one in there), then that would be amazing

[@lavishkumar9075]

[@tonybro32]

this would be mitigated by NOT CAPPING MY INVITES TO FIVE PLAYERS FFS! I guess the logic is you’d want the folks raiding with you to not get bumped out because folks are inviting en masse but who the hell has EVER wishes for less raiders?!

[@Tedrag03]

It's even worse when the game doesn't update on time. Let's say the game says there are 5 people in the raid however 3 of them have left but the game still shows five. And then at the very last second it updates and gives you the right number.

[@TheSvj5047]

Evolving is very boring and i don't mind that. The days of evolving for XP has been gone since friendship was a thing. People still do it for some reason but you can make way more XP just doing a lucky egg with 1 best friends or 2 ultra friends. Like there's no reason to waste on evos.

[@rioluwu5921]

Lucky eggs last 30 minutes, you get friendship xp in under 10 seconds, if you click on your profile, swipe to friends, click on the person, open the gift, and exit out. You have more than enough time to catch and evolve, making both very worth it

[@AnjoGal]

The most annoying thing for me is the ridiculously low cap on coins you can earn per day.

[@DorkVaderYT]

Or when somebody is too lazy to just finish the tiny bit of the hp left of the Pokémon in the gym, and then you just don't get the coins in general

[@HeathbarPlays]

Something that's happened for a few years now that always grinds my gears: When your Pokemon faints in a raid, your next Pokemon comes in, and midway through the transition the raid boss uses its Charged Move causing your Pokemon to take massive damage, or worse, faint in one hit with no chance to dodge. Would be nice to have some sort of grace period as mons swap in! (Let's not even begin talking about how many times I've had mons shadow faint for absolutely no reason)

[@williamsimkulet7832]

5:30 Trading items seems needlessly complex, but I'd prefer we "sell" items than ditch them. Maybe we could "recycle" them into other items; maybe ditching like 50 berries would give you a charge in a berry machine that would make 1 golden berry, or ditching 50 other items would be sufficient to make an ultra ball?

[@BryanTerran]

My biggest annoyance with the game is how if you don’t live in an urban area, you’re going to end up with a lesser experience because of a lack of gyms/PokeStops. I do know you can apply for new stops at level 37, but reaching level 37 takes a long time, especially when there isn’t much in the way of stops/gyms around you.

[@rhymeswithorange6092]

And, the sad part is, new pokestops need to be approved by _local_ players. There are lots of areas where there aren't enough local players on Wayfarer to do the approvals, so the nomination just sits forever waiting for review.

[@Arcane2080x]

As a Wayfarer, a lot of Pokemon Go players do submit some things that aren’t meant to be in game to get a stop by their house. This slows down the review process because something that is a clear rejection still has to be looked through taking time to go “this is fake” “that is against guidelines” so we don’t get frozen for going to fast in reviews. Or going against your communities dislikes for certain nominations because they are eligible and getting a bad rating because other reviewer are reviewing the opposite! I submitted a walking trails footbridge 7 times before Niantic gave us appeals. And after review it was eligible and in the game from my first nominations appeal.

[@EbiLMunkeY]

@@Arcane2080x they could solve this issue by allowing people to register one “home” poke stop that’s private and only you can see. They could even reduce the rewards or increase the time between spins, but it would ease the advantage players who live on pokestops have and lower the cases of fake pokestops on peoples houses.

[@broskinie7168]

Exactly. Just make a minimum of like 5 pokestops per big cube cell thing so say an okay sice neighborhood gets 10 pokestops, two gyms subsituting two of them. and if they have a park? make another pokestop and a gym. seriously it's just that simple. Possible interferences: 1. Unusable location of pokestop Solution: Seriously? Why wouldn't the pokestop 1, be put near a road and off of any water, and 2, reported? Easily at a certain lvl (NOT 37 GOSH DO 30) you can report and descrive your report whatever. Better solution: Allow the pokestop to move. Let it move closer to where people are walking.. (on pokemon go say when they spin, do routs near, etc that pokestop.) 2. Makes places like cities even more dense with pokestops and lets certain people be lest in the dust. Solution: It's already 100% better than there whole pokestop system in general (not new york city).. but fr just don't let it apply to squares with no pokestops or lakes. Good stuff here: No car requirement -some people can't afford it -some people aren't of age Playable, their game makes more money -not everyone plays in a city -players will be happier and in turn become cash wails literally just more fun. I don't wanna pay to play this really fun game my family enjoys! My parents work pretty much all the time, and it's kind of daunting the fact I have to pressure anyone to play a random app.. unless it's an event and it's a given other family members would be down.

[@rhymeswithorange6092]

I was told by a player from a rural area that the problem was that new pokestops require local approval on Wayfarer, and so many areas don't have enough players to do the approval. That would explain why pokestops for stupid things like bikeracks exist in cities, but rural areas can't get anything. Wayfarer is a very poor system.

My idea with the Rocket Balloon is to change it to a ‘button’ that appears like the daily incense on the right. Have it randomly spawn on the hour like the balloon, but it will show a circular button with an ‘R’ on top of some grass (so it’s not confused with Rocket Radar). When you tap it, the prompt could say, “A Team Rocket Grunt is nearby! Do you wish to encounter?” You tap ‘Yes’ and then you get the usual Grunt dialogue. Just an easier way to eliminate the balloon annoyance.

[@Arcane2080x]

Or a button when you are in the grunt screen. “Remove” and then a “are you sure?” It could be an option in game like mass transfer so you can enable a button to send the ballon away early. Sometimes I just don’t want to battle the grunt/leader and the balloon just annoys me following me around for 10 minutes.

Pretty harmless. It may have cost them some money, but it made people happy. It could have also helped to get people hooked on the gambling feel of raids, which could have even led to more sales had they kept the feature around.

It’s just silly to assume that they quit because of one or two things that they don’t like.

I know that won’t help for raids, but I was with you on this no friends thing until I did that and now I have 70 friends from all over the world and I receive 20+ gifts a day

The lagging part during battles with others is so frustrating. Another change I would love to see is giving raid battles longer times to take on the raid Pokemon when your solo.

My biggest frustration is remote raiding & hitting those EXCELLENT throws & GREAT throws & not being able to catch that Pokémon. I wish they would somehow make us sweat till the last ball, but still making it a guarantee catch at the last ball.

when i used to use nanab berries on legendaries , i always hated when i waited for them to go back to the middle , i used the berry and they still move to the side after i use it . then im forced to try and hit an excellent from the side

[@A_Ali173]

I still only play Pokémon GO at home. I’m so lazy 😂

[@ims6671]

No one talked about that, but raids ending before the actual raid timer is at zero is extremely frustrating sometimes

[@OnsightGames]

The fact that you can't collect more than 50 pokecoins from a single pokemon in a gym is dumb. If that pokemon holds a gym for a week I should get 350 coins. Im in a rural area so that happens all the time and I only get 50 coins or so a week

[@Flizz0]

One of my Pokémon have been stuck in a gym for 25 days

[@Venquine_R]

I can definitely understand your reasons behind this list, bit there is one correction I want to make. You can Swipe between Friends. You DON'T have to click away one friend and then click on another. Pretty sure this saves a few seconds to minutes. Also I *definitely* agree that Trading, ad well as the (Mega) evolution screen(s) take *waaay* too long.

[@RichardSmith-pb8qk]

Getting kicked from a gym when a raid is completed and then realizing the raid had timed out. Also, when you are battling Giovanni, the team leaders, or even grunts and you can’t see what weapons the monster you choose has without backing out entirely, and the inability to change them within the battle “lobby”.

[@Amy-dy2zf]

If you are doing gifts you can press open or send depending on what your doing then spam the cross to get through it a bit faster

[@gabebowman1071]

Trying to swipe out notifications and accidentally throwing a pokeball. It’s so annoying, especially on research where you need throw streaks!

[@riss0is]

I absolutely hate that when I open a Rocket grunt and my inventory is full, not being able to ditch pokeballs when managing the bag. You have to get out of the screen, ditch the pokeballs and hope the grunt is still there.

[@lily1965t]

Legendaries always flee from excellent throws, waiting for the two minute lobby for soloable raids, TM's keep giving back the move/s you were trying to change. These are my biggest bug bears. And yes trading supplies and mons from larger distances would be great and no cost to money grabbing Niantic.

[@Iamfengzi-vx4ld]

0:19 I hate when the pokémon is under the poke stop.

[@johnplangca3124]

I’ve started getting back into Pokémon go since I have a good phone now with mobile data, back then I didn’t have a phone back or mobile data. I rarely spend money on games so I’d say the daily coin limit. Pokemon storage and Item storage being 200 and Remote Raid Passes being 195, I don’t think 50 is enough to compensate for F2P players or low spenders. I’d want them to make the limit 150/200 because even you have a lot of Pokémon in gyms, they can still get knocked out very quickly

[@stevenunderwood9753]

For me it's having to wait for timer to count down on raids when there is enough people to do it and should have a start raid button especially on events

[@lily1965t]

Especially annoying if it's a 1* raid and is soloable. Such a time waster.

[@KelliConan]

I feel like they'll never have the distance trading 'cause that'll open up the door for asking for regional Pokemon to be allowed to be traded. They sure as heck don't want that and don't want to have to deal with ignoring the request or saying no to it. So the excuse of making it a fun thing to do with someone you're hanging out with is an easy out for the game.

[@gilmer_games7086]

For me now, it's that I don't see any primal raids anymore. Like was it just a global hoenn tour thing or something?

[@kesterspader868]

Being able to delete eggs would be a blessing

[@TheBetterMythical]

Hiya! I figured out a little glitch a few years ago, and it makes sending gifts so much faster. You either open or send a gift, then quickly tap the lil x button at the bottom of your screen. Please don't let anyone tell Niantic about this, because I was so proud when I discovered the glitch lol.

[@milkshooks]

The inability to hide/minimize the go battle league tasks really grinds my gears. I always miss out on daily or events because it’s blocked by 10 rows of tasks I’m never going to do (don’t find the battle feature fun)

[@ParadoxX-lt1vu]

I just now thought of this but it'd be cool if you could like set a cap on how many of certain items you could stack and once you hit that limit you just stop collecting them. Like if I never want more than 100 revives and 100 max potions once I get 100 it stops adding them to my inventory. I hate being full trying to spin stops and I look and have 96 regular potions that I'll never use holding up space

[@Nieznany_turio]

I really regret that in Pokemon Go they did not decide on a turn-based combat system, as in many pokemon games. 4 attacks, including those that raise stats, impose statuses or heal the user. This would give so many Pokemon a use. Of course, they could refine this system so that it wasn't just a monotonous turn-based combat, but also required a bit of skill from the player.

[@dusk336]

legendary mega raids giving the mega raid amount of balls instead of the legendary amount, not having an upgraded version of nanab barriers like razz and pinap so a pokemon completely freezes and gets a slight catch boost ( I was stressing over hitmontop last weekend because it just wouldn't stand still even though I used a nanab) no auto heal or auto add stickers function, when you're doing several raids back to back autohealing would be such a lifesaver minor thing: not being able to see how much longer a raid is active after you've done it, in case you want to put your mon into it for coins ( even being able to put them in if you beat the raid would be a huge upgrade, you could guarantee some coins that way)

[@Suku919]

They should have a measurement number that tells me how far a pokemon is from the screen so i can accurately judge how hard or light i need to throw the ball so i don't mess up a "hit 8 great excellent throws in a row" task. It's REALLY hard to tell with some pokemon that seem way closer or way farther than they actually are. Also a number above a gym or something that tells us how many people are waiting in a raid before i have to actually press the raid to see for those times where i'm surrounded with raids and I don't know which one people are gathering at

[@AlexNexton]

Reese's arrow at the end on Mystic7 made my day 😆

[@Remitzu_Orcarina]

For me it’s when you manage to fully charge your charge attack but then your opponent gets to do it first even when you’ve clicked it multiple times. Gets me every time

[@jmdilley02]

Right now I hate that the 1st task you have to do to get shiny jirachi is that you have to catch 385 pokemon from each of the 1st three generations of pokemon for a total of 1155 pokemon you have to catch before you can move on to the next set of research missions!

[@TiffanyG8675309]

I knocked out Kanto and Hoenn really quickly. Johto is quite the pain though because there isn't many Johto spawns. Good thing it isn't timed, I guess!

[@bl0ckbuster2kMinecraftMore]

For me it’s when your deleting friends which never give you gifts or haven’t been online for several days and you have to click on their profile and click delete friend several times, they could just add a select feature and then you can just select the friends you want and mass delete them

[@Xeno_Noah]

I feel like what they should do in Pokémon Go is to have the setting music of the legendary. Like Ho-Ohs music would be amazing to listen to while battling Ho-Oh!

Something that annoys me personally is that Giovanni’s outfit is locked behind beating him 20 times. He’s been in the game for at least 2 years now and has only appeared 17 times

[@tugsman5]

Also YES on trading items, when my cousin stays the night (he lives 2 hours away so it's rare) we go explore my neighborhood and drink beers for a couple hours at midnight, but there's 2 Pokestops, and he's not as hardcore as me so he NEVER has pokeballs, and I always have OVER 1000 and am constantly tossing dozens-hundreds a day.

[@Teib_21]

Running out of potions, is one thing basically not having a poke center kinda sucks for me, I have to go around trying to find potions from poke stops and gyms. I wish you could just buy potions with star dust or something, or have special poeke centers as poke stops

[@Sturdi_]

Some things that grind my gears that weren't in the video: 1. The amount of coins pokeballs cost in the shop. 100 coins for only 20 normal pokeballs is ridiculous 2. Only being able to buy normal pokeballs. Going off of my last point, its already crazy expensive to buy pokeballs in the first place. I would feel a lot less ripped off spending 100 coins on 20 great balls than 20 normal ones 3. If a trainer has too many items in their inventory, there should be an option to send specific items from their inventory to their friends via gifts. I think this would help a lot of trainers who aren't able to regularly travel to pokestops/gyms to recieve items 4. A pokemon encounter after completing a raid should be a guaranteed catch. Its infuriating paying for a remote raid pass, going through the trouble of getting added to a raid (especially when its a more sought after raid boss like mewtwo), winning the raid, and then it ends up running away

[@adrodelpedro]

As for sending gifts, you don't have to exit out of each person to go to the next person, just swipe left or right to go to your next friend!

[@LukaLaurent]

As a newer player (6 months-ish), but a seasoned player of traditional pokemon games, there's 2 things I find annoying. Receiving candies only for catching/transferring Pokemon (and walking with them, I guess). I feel like the pokemon you battle with, battle against, etc. should give you at least a single candy per encounter. Whether this be Team Rocket GO or through GO battle league, candies in lieu of experience makes sense to me. It would allow you to gain candies for Pokemon you may not necessarily be seeing in the wild at the current time - it's been a thorn in my side for progression a lot so far. COINS. Oh my god, 50 coins a day is so few. I've only recently gotten my Pokemon storage and item storage to 1000, it's so painful. That doesn't count on what I have to spend to raid too. I know for more veteran players, this would make the coin grind way easier, as they have the existing storage space - but maybe for those pre-level 40, level rewards including coins, or storage space, etc. would take the pain of the coin grind away slightly. Hell, 40-50 has tasks alongside exp just to level up - maybe pre-40 has tasks for coins or other useful items.

[@FoamyADC]

One thing I hate, not being able to mass delete friends. It takes way too long to delete a single person also the friends list refreshes every time you delete someone so it’s just straight up annoying

[@jimrose8689]

So for me ... 1. Speed up animation for trading - we have seen it a hundred times 2. Speed up the animation for Evolving - again, we have seen it a thousand times 3. Ability to send gifts to a group of friends - Tap and hold a friend to add to a list then blanket send 4. Add Platinum medal for number of gifts sent 5. Adjust the method of earning coins - if you have three pokemon in different gyms and they get knocked out in the same day, reward them all, say 25 each instead of 50. Would encourage players to fill up gyms and battle them more. 6. Have daily tasks that reward gyms - sure they beta tested this in Australia.

[@adambokker1246]

One Time a Gengar Spawned but right then I hatched eggs and when I get back GONE

[@tokyokitcat]

Your pokemon returning from a gym after many days but you've already reached the daily limit of 50 coins. They should really change that feature.

[@RandomGuy9O9]

Another thing I really dislike is not being able to accept that many gifts. I don't know what the limit for gifts is but its not big enough. I get through like 20 gifts and I can't accept any more

[@Kurtomatic]

When your charged attack is lit up in Go Battle League, you hit the button frantically three or four times, and then it doesn't trigger before you die / opponent gets theirs off. So, so frustrating. Between that and general lag (which are probably related), I don't enjoy the Battle League nearly as much as I otherwise would.

[@Dyzll]

Clusters of Pokestops. There is a plaza I go to that has clusters of Pokestops, and I meant CLUSTER. The problem is they're literally on top of each others that it's impossible to click on the other once your done spinning one. I wish there's a way to navigate through such scenarios, like how you could just swipe left or right on the appraisal screen (this should work on all pokestops within your range)

[@evajanepurdy6145]

That's really true it'll be life changing to trade items in Pokémon Go. Pokémon let us trade items!

[@stepheninuk]

Most annoying is when legendary pokemon flee immediately when first ball or still have balls left due to bug. And when you contact Niantic, they just compensated you a Premium Battle Pass or remote Battle Pass, depend on what raid you was in, for that. I lost my first shiny legendary by that, my wife lost few good IV Kyogre.

[@ScotTheLandia]

for me, it *CLEARLY* has to be times where u pull off a curveball throw, and theres a chance that the pokemon will *INSTANTLY* come out during the first shake, and just run away. it always *PISSED* me off

[@rainbowrunner1550]

What probably annoys me the most about Go Battle League is when my opponent switches Pokemon when the Pokemon that was switched out was literally on its last pixel of red health. They really need to implement a rule where you cannot switch out a Pokemon once it's in red HP. Because, there have been plenty of instances where there's a technical 3-0 sweep despite the fact that you quite clearly would've knocked out a Pokemon that was switched out.

[@wendydomino]

I've believed from the beginning of the game that you should never run out of the basic red and white pokeball. I was ridiculed and told to "Get good" in the past when I explained I was running out of basic balls due to a lack of pokestops in my area. I basically only had the ability to spin one pokestop a day for a while and usually only had time to do it once before and once after work. I would quickly run out of balls. Thankfully there are both more pokestops now and the gifting system alleviated that problem pretty much for me but I still feel that fundamentally, you should never run out of the most basic unit of the game. The great balls and Ultra balls should be something you have to work to have but always having the red and white balls available should be a given and it shouldn't be a limited resource.

[@Sloxyian]

8:01 I had the same experience with a shiny Aron in a community day for Roggenrola, I ran out of pokeballs and I started running around spinning pokestops for balls. I caught him but it was one of such an experience.

[@DiamondZorua]

I found a 3* SHINY Natu in the wild and I had no pokeballs, LUCKILY, a gym reset so I quickly exited and got pokeballs and caught it!!!
