[AbstractFact]

What feature do you really want to be implemented into the games?
Worldwide trading.

If legendaries will ever come, which would you want the most?
From the 1st and 2nd generations, probably Mew and Suicune.

How do you feel about raids?
Anything above level 2 (maybe 3) is pretty much impossible when no one else in your area plays. If they wanted to do multiplayer, they should have done it when people were actually playing.

How do you feel about Pokemon Go now? Is it boring, and meaningless? Or is it fun and exciting still?
Honestly I'm losing interest myself.
I was hoping for some huge candy multiplier event for the 1 year anniversary, but instead we get a single pikachu (which hasn't even appeared to me once). And it seems like the creators are building the game more and more for very populated areas, making it impossible to enjoy in its entirety when you live in a medium size city with like 10-20 active players total. I wish they would put more emphasis on single players who can't take on the raid bosses in teams..

How do you feel about the Chicago event?
Unfair for the rest of the world :' )
In fact, if they will make certain pokemon available to people only trough region-specific events, then most people can't even dream about collecting the full dex. And I hate that. It's a game, not a travel app. Not everyone can afford to go places just to get a pokemon.

You are actually incorrect with some of the things you are saying. Legendaries are, in fact, coming and they should be premiered at the Chicago event. Speaking of the event, it is not ONLY for the ones present. Event players and players around the world have to work together to unlock special rewards and prizes, they did not forget us. And for the anniversary, we did not get a single pikachu, the gym rework, which includes raids, is part of the anniversary. And the Chicago and worldwide event is also part of the anniversary. S for raid bosses, you are not supposed to be able to take them down by yourself. You are supposed to it with others as a team. And since it was a complex gym rework, they cannot just roll out the update after the immediate game launch. It is like giving you an assignment to write a 10 page research paper, and giving you 10 minutes to complete it without the use of books or the internet, it is not a fair thing to ask.

Also, worldwide trading will probably never be implemented, as Pokemon GO is about getting outside and meeting new people and going to new places, only local trading should be implemented. That is the whole point of the game. So please quit whining about something that you do not know any facts about.

Wow you absolutely did not need to be so rude about it. c':

There has been no mention that legends will be available outside of such events - other than "legendary raid passes", which, if you read my post troughout, you could see how that will be a problem in itself. There has been hinting at how the Fest's reward could be a legendary pokemon, but at this point it's nothing more than speculation.
The actual rewards that have been released (increased special pokemon spawns and special pokestops with special eggs) are only for the park where the event will physically take place. The safari zones will be only in 7 european countries, not to mention specific cities.
Plus the "worldwide challenges" will only last 30 minutes each. I'd like to see how they make that available for the entire world.

So unless you have some new information that somehow I haven't seen before (which could very well be the case, since their updated news site is pretty difficult to navigate), please actually share that before saying I don't know what I'm talking about lmao.

S for raid bosses, you are not supposed to be able to take them down by yourself. You are supposed to it with others as a team.

Thats.. sorta the whole entire problem...
How can you do it with a team when there's no team to speak of?

Plus one of the biggest criticisms when the game came out, was that it was released so early. I get it, everyone was excited, but the game wasn't even near finished. It was just done enough to be playable on the most basic level, without really any of the features and glitches worked out. I said it when it came out and I'll say it again, I would have preferred if they had released it later on, more finished and polished. That would have been much better timing on their side, and way more strategic. Any time any game comes out, the first few months will be the most active, with the activity slowly dying down afterwards. If you are going to add features that REQUIRE group play, don't do it when everyone has lost interest.

Also, worldwide trading will probably never be implemented, as Pokemon GO is about getting outside and meeting new people and going to new places, only local trading should be implemented. That is the whole point of the game.

They made it a problem themselves by making region-exclusive pokemon. I can confidently say that the vast majority of the players can not, and will never be able to afford going abroad just to catch a few pokemon. By not making trading worldwide, all they do is encourage spoofing since people have no other ways to collect region exclusive pokemon.

It has been clear for a long time that the developers base everything in the game on very populated areas, and it's sad. If you can't use all of the games features in your area, you will eventually lose interest and stop playing. And that is the direction they are going in with these updates.

guys, just watch mystic7's latest video. it goes over legendary's- and as of right now there are five confirmed being released first at fest, then to the public. EVERYONE will have a chance to get them. I am unsure of how passes will be distributed.

Ah yes, raid bosses.
RIP single players.

The trailer for the legendaries. Honestly? Not excited. Sure, we'll have a chance as well at the legendaries, but what's the point if you don't get the full experience yourself? Also, here's the article about it :3

As part of our ongoing celebration of Pokémon GO’s one-year anniversary, we’re excited to reveal that Legendary Pokémon are nearly here! Soon, millions of Trainers around the world will be able to discover, battle, and catch these extremely rare and very powerful Pokémon.

I kinda doubt there are 'millions' of active Trainers.

As Trainers around the world go out and explore their neighborhoods in search of Pokémon and Raid Battles

*cough* Rural areas *cough*

On July 22, thousands of Trainers in Grant Park for Pokémon GO Fest and the millions of others around the world will be working together to unlock in-game bonuses for the entire Pokémon GO community

See, we get to do N O T H I N G.

If the Trainers in Chicago succeed in defeating the Legendary Pokémon, that Pokémon will start appearing in Raid Battles around the world, after Pokémon GO Fest.

*Plot twist* WHAT IF THEY DON'T?!? Also, lol, how many times was Mewtwo cloned? And how many Ho-Oh's are out there?
I get Mew's (Mew's were the beginning of all pokemon (; ) but really? Two Articuno's battling a raid at once?

*COUGH COUGH COUGH* Oh dear I seem to have a cold. *COUGH COUGH COUGH*

Agreed entirely.

This game was mainly developed for cities in mind, and with that any rural players get absolutely shunned. I stopped playing because to catch a Pokémon I had to buy incense- nothing spawned near me and the nearest populated area that had any chance of a decent spawn was a half hour car trip. The event is neat, yea, and it's great to see they're still working on the app, but since the beginning rural players have been absolutely forgotten and there's been nothing to help them out since. It'll be interesting to see if this does anything for the inactive player base. It feels more like they're aiming to keep players still playing instead of regaining the players that have given up on the game with this event.

nothing spawns near me- ever. I don't even exist on the map. but, its ok because when I do go out I have a good time playing the game, and we always get a gym.

[Vampiric]

I'm headed to the UK PoGo event in Chester this weekend, no idea if any other UK peeps here are going but maybe i'll see you there

Also i'm super excited for the legendary raids even though I definitely am not prepared for them just yet. Only just got 32 and my team for legends is underwhelming.

How do you like the new(ish) gym system?
I like it more than the old system. It's easier for everyone to contribute and I feel like they're less stale now.

Is there any Pokemon you've given a meaningful name? If so, why that Pokemon and why is its name meaningful?
I have a bunch. If I catch a Pokemon under special circumstances I'll give it a name that'll remind me of what the circumstance was. I caught a Mankey after my boyfriend bought me an expensive pair of earphones, so I named the Mankey after a nickname for him. RIP those earphones though, they broke a few weeks ago. Best pair I ever had. :c

What is the one Pokemon you don't have but want the most? (obtainable Pokemon)
Right now that's probably Aerodactyl. I can always walk my Dratini into a Dragonite, but that Aerodactyl has been elusive as heck. I just want my own purple dinosaur.

What was the first Pokemon of yours to reach 1000+ CP?
My first Vaporeon, that I used the naming trick on. I've kept it since and it's over 2000 CP now.

What was the first Pokemon of yours to reach 2000+ CP?
TBH I'm not sure I remember. It could have been a Snorlax. Maybe the same Vaporeon. Otherwise probably my Gyarados.

What feature do you really want to be implemented into the games?
Breeding!

If legendaries will ever come, which would you want the most?
Of the ones that are gonna be available, probably Zapdos, even though I'm Valor. I want that sparkybirb. Otherwise probably Yveltal?

How do you feel about raids?
I love everything about them except for the fact that they're timed. I don't have any friends that still play PoGo. Only today I saw a Muk raid and I went for it. I would have been able to take it down on my own if it weren't for the time limit. It's not fair that you need other people to win sometimes.

What Pokemon do you think should be added/removed from eggs and raids?
Well I'm not sure what Vaporeon is doing in raids tbh, and I'm surprised Dragonite isn't a raid bosses.

I'd like to see Krabby, Staryu, Tentacool, Psyduck, Natu, Shellder, and Wooper removed from eggs.

How do you feel about Pokemon Go now? Is it boring, and meaningless? Or is it fun and exciting still?
Ever since the maps stopped working, I don't go out of my way to catch Pokemon anymore. I just don't think the current tracking system is any fun at all. Gyms don't interest me too much either. I still play it when I happen to be out, though, and if I see a cool raid or Pokemon, I'll run after it.

How do you feel about the Chicago event?
Must be fun if you live in Chicago.

For those who might actually be able to participate in any of this.

How do you like the new(ish) gym system?
honestly, i have no idea! i haven't used it yet, and i didn't use the old gym system (i've never battled lolol)
and i'm in no particular hurry to test it out, because catching/hatching pokemon is the fun part to me :')

Is there any Pokemon you've given a meaningful name? If so, why that Pokemon and why is its name meaningful?
my starter, a bulbasaur, i named "Enoo" because that's a nickname i call my youngest sister!
the bulbasaur reminded me of my sister because they're both cute, stubborn, and follow me around, but i love it! <3
plus she likes to catch pokemon with me sometimes
