Same! Most of the time I'd just take a whatever photo of my buddy to get the heart but sometimes I'd put actual effort in and it was fun.

Bruh the game isn’t getting ruined from getting rid of a tiny ass feature that barely anyone used it was stupid and hopefully this means they’ll focus more on the actual game instead of AR stuff
I loved using AR mode to get cool pictures of catching pokemon in interesting locations. I once found and caught a blastoise near Tower Bridge, I think that was the best pokemon go screenshot I ever had. Never saw another blastoise near there again and since it’s such an iconic landmark too it looked like a scene from an old monster movie
I liked using it, not because I would catch it faster, but because the entire purpose of pokemon go is to have them in the real world. My phone doesnt support ar plus and now the game is alot less interesting.
Is this why I need a flat surface now to play with my buddy? I can't just open it and give him his attention and feed him etc anymore without a flat surface to first put him on wich wastes tons of time and is often not even possible depending on what Imm doing at the time so I now have it turned off
When i used AR to catch something... It full on crashed my phone, twice and when i say crash i mean it made my phone go to the black screen with the phone logo/build
@@tadtacosinc exactly. Now you have to go through the whole process of scanning the area and everything each time. It's tedious enough that I haven't interacted with my buddy pokemon at all since the update.
I think that this feature was like, kinda the whole point of the app at the start, like that was the building block the rest of it was developed around trying to achieve. So I think it really sucks because if that
I thought this was a glitch I'm so mad I often play when I'm a passenger of a car and ar mode made it so I could encounter more Pokemon before they despawn but know I end up missing half of the Pokemon that spawn I don't want to know how many shinys I have missed because couldn't encounter them fast enough
I missed it so much because before it was easy to get your poke him on in places where you can take photos like before, I wanted to take a picture of one of them next to fireworks, but I was on a stage, so I couldn't place it down
i just put together a scrapbook for last year and included pictures hanging out at the dog park with my pup standing next to a wild bulbasaur. bummer that i wouldn’t be able to take more cute pics like that
I’m personally affected sadly cause what I like to do on community days to take pictures of my shinies in hopes of the community day photo bomber would be a shiny too. But now I can’t even enjoyed that
I stopped doing AR when snapshot came out and made it easy. I used to do pretty good AR photography, and it was more fun to gamble on if I could still catch it after… Usually this was driving across down for a certain spot too.
There is a plus side to the reseting effect, all those annoying pokemon that go off to the side (always the side that de-synergizes with your handedness) now get re centered
AR+ runs so ass too... When I try to play with my buddy the frame rate drops down to the single digits and I can't even get my buddy to spawn in anywhere half the time It's such a nonsense change and the way it was implemented is so stupid. Taking away AR absolutely should not be impacting people that don't use it.
I really could Never get the hang of AR anyway . I had a HARDER Time at Even LOCATING Where The Pokemon Would Be ... 9 Out Of 10 NEVER In Front Of Me .... ANYWHERE .
For me it's made petting and taking a picture of my buddy hell since my phone has issues with running AR+. So I literally have to hope the game doesn't crash while taking a picture and petting my buddy. Alongside the new visuals crashing PoGO during day 1 of them being added. It's not as bad now but that was awful also
You have AR+ activated and then it won’t work. Deactivate the AR mode in settings, separate one for your buddy. Then it should work just as before, by tapping the AR slider.
It takes too damn long to get the daily picture and play with your buddy. Used to be a simple hit play scrub Pokémon snap picture and you’re done. But nooooooo I have to find the perfect spot to spawn them in and that takes ages
How did you get the Alolan Vulpix though. I want one really badly but I thought you could only get them through those special 3 km eggs and I don’t have any friends who play the game to trade with.
I can't take pictures of my buddies in nice places anymore, just a bland green background. I have two years of all my buddies in places I've been for good memories, but now this update is just basically telling me "get an AR+ or get out." Like how much is AR+ gonna cost?
Ahhh fuck i did this exact thing to get photos for brsgging rights. Not anymore.... i havnt played since april 1st and it doesnt look like im returning for a few months still.
Wild cause this was the hard marketing of Pokemon go why take it away!? To the error that caused us to not tend to our buddies but completely removing this is rather odd.
I literally couldn't care. And as soon as they made the update and it defaulted back to on. I quickly went and switched off the AR again. 😂 i don't need them looking at my camera feed.
I’ll be honest, I don’t really care for anything involving Pokémon GO anymore The reason behind this is because I had a TON of progress on my account I’m talking multiple legendaries, a shiny Mew, so many fully evolved starters (my favourite of which was Charizard because it took me years to get enough candies to get one) Only to get locked out of my account one day, and be completely incapable of getting back in Goodbye Tyranitar that my old friend who I’ll never see again traded me Farewell Snorlax who I hunted for for hours with friends I can no longer contact So long Lapras that I caught my with older sister See you around Gyarados that took months to obtain I’ll miss you Milotic that I evolved during a nice family outing But most painfully will absolutely go to SHINY MEW, ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS NIANTIC I LOST A SHINY MEW BECAUSE YOU LOGGED ME OUT FOR NO FUCKING REASON
"... When they can't for me, i Said nothing, because they had already taken everything else.." Just because you didn't benefit from something, try not to let companies overstep taking things out. They will eventually effect you, even if not directly like this.
I'm not personally effected by it's removal, but it is weird they'd remove something that was a part of it's initial marketing.
They removed it because the camera of buddy Pokemon was glitching after a new update, and then decided to remove everything

F Pokémon go I wasted to much time on it . Developers always destroy their own games .
Just don’t fix that what is not broken
I'm not sure how it makes fast catching faster. I always thought AR made it harder to catch.
It takes practice and experience but it’s way faster than having to deal with the camera panning for every encounter on community days.
I have yet to meet a single person whoever used the AR mode and the reasoning behind this video is pretty lackluster, to be honest.
Niantic just keeps going out of their way to make the game worse
I deleted the app after this update 😢
