    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.

    I think one of the best things they could do is to change the buddy structure. If they restructure it, so the Pokemon’s individual value increases as you continue to play with your buddy that would definitely be a huge benefit.

    A game once vibrant, now feels stale,
    With less new content, excitement frail.
    We've caught them all, the rare and strong,
    Yet feel the grind goes on too long.
    More shinies, more Poké stops, we plea,
    New points of interest to set us free.
    Introduce new Pokémon, like Meltan’s charm,
    To keep the game fresh, and hearts warm.
    Routes and parties, though fun for few,
    Need broader strokes, more to pursue.
    A prestige system, a new frontier,
    To give endgame players something dear.

    Would love if they added in some story line type quests and content. Maybe some story lines would be too tough to complete until you were at end game level of power with good Pokemon or something. These story lines could be made to be repayable with rewards for every time you go through them, or something along those lines. Trying to implement a RuneScape style concept for quests would be amazing for Pokemon go.

    I honestly have wanted diffrent mechanics like a farm system: put pokemon in a poke stop location (like a gym) and maybe certain pokemon (ground / grass etc) that can grow berries etc over a 24h period , you can leave pokemon in different facilities and at the end of a time period you get resources, - very similar to Showcases -
    Pokemon in this game need to do more than sit in your box or be in gyms, it would be very cool to add slice of life elements like these! I’ve always wanted to know if this idea sounds viable

  • @zephyr3053
    @zephyr3053 25 дней назад +1

    I really think before they introduce level 60 or beyond, Niantic really needs to take a hard look at their game and rebalance it. Rework the levels, EXP, Stardust etc. Because the grind feels so monotonous at times.
    1. Triple base stardust gains. I.E from the current 100 per catch to 300.
    2. Let us stack the free raid passes for a single week, up to 7. Not all raid bosses are exciting. This will let F2P players grind more when there's a boss they want.
    3. Pokestop tasks should refresh every hour during events, Com days, Go Fests, Tour events etc. Outside of events, every 3-4hrs.
    4. Bring back 6hr Community Days.
    5. Level up Tasks should be retroactive based on your account's progress to respect player's time. (Talking specifically about the tasks for 40-50 per level that you need to achieve)

    I wish trading was easier. I hate driving just to meet up to do a trade that takes 5 seconds. Why can’t we do distance trading? I mean they could maximize to be 50 miles so people don’t have to drive for a trade. Or let people trade with one person anywhere in the world for community day. I feel people would make more friends and do more lucky trades if it was easier to do. Heck it would get more people on campfire. They used do increase trade distance during the winter holidays event but got rid of it for no reason.

  • @swammer13
    @swammer13 25 дней назад +1

    Go has definitely gotten stale, but I think the biggest reason is that many of the features do not assist in end-game progression. Routes and Party Play were both introduced after XL candy, but neither one helps you in any way progress your pokemon to level 50 and reach 'end game' thus they aren't worth grinding. The rewards simply aren't good enough, they are still scaled for a pre-XL world. You can go ahead and lump in the buddy system (which needs a major overhaul to make it interesting again). I actually do engage with routes since I don't have to go out of my way to do so, so I've done over 1000 routes. I've gotten maybe 10 rare candy xL from them in that time and a few elite TMs. But if 3 routes a day for a year gets you enough xL candy for one power-up the juice simply isn't worth the squeeze.
    Ultimately they need to re-evaluate the in-game economy for resources to better align the rewards with meaningful progression towards a goal. They also need to bring in new features that are either interesting because they are skill-driven or assist with progression to that goal. This could be as simple as making some of their timed research slightly more interesting with actually meaningful rewards. Maybe when a buddy reaches max level it starts bringing you interesting/useful gifts rather than a handful of berries that likely get discarded anyways. Or maybe a weekly quest system that refreshed every week that included simple things you probably do when playing the game anyways (catching, raiding, making great throws) but gave one rare candy xL as a reward. It's not like a single candy every week would put their raid revenue stream at risk, but it would make the daily grinds feel more meaningful and give players a better shot at maxing out some of the otherwise unattainable pokemon like Jirachi, Celebi, etc. Just make the grind feel like it offers more progress.
    Right now raids provide by far and away the best progression toward end game per time invested and PvP is the only part of the gameplay that has any real variability and opportunity for skill. Every other feature is either uninteresting, unrewarding, or both. Rebalancing the rewards of the existing features or releasing new interesting features is needed to fix that.

    I just hope that NN fluctuates their content, with some days with no events where players can take a break, followed by events where there are a lot of things to do, lots of new releases etc where players can get excited to go out and play their hearts out.
    Now the situation is constantly grinding daily for that 1 or 2 new releases, or that 1 or 2 new shinies. Now when a big event comes by, I feel that there is not much difference between these big events against other weekly events. I'll be exhausted to play since everyday is the same type of grind.

    Long time players are definitely going to struggle with motivation after a while. Especially with the Go Tours of each region by 2029 we will have complete pokedex's for each of the 9 regions currently released. The issue with releasing new pokemon and new shinies faster than what Niantic is currently doing is they will still run out of pokemon released in main series games at some point and we will all be back to this spot. So its only delaying the inevitable. At least until they release Gen 10. PVP IVs and perfect IV grinds help. collection challenges helps. Going for a complete Shiny Dex can give you a goal, currently I need 3 pokemon to complete all of Kanto shiny. There is no real end game but eventually you do just wind up in an endless cycle of grind a bit, get some PVP battles in to get dust in case you need to power stuff up in the future, maybe a raid or 2 and be done for the day. Tips I can think of, take a break. Especially during the cold midwest months when you can't get outside as much. Any comm days you missed you can probably get the shiny in Dec and check out updates. Maybe Niantic can bring in more of a story mode to be unlocked at a certain level. They could introduce a journey like the main series games where you are the protagonist who starts a journey, and goes out and you build your team of 6 from scratch, picking which gen starters you want and that's your selection. Walking distance can get you to the next town, you do wild battles instead of catching to actually level up your pokemon. Something like that sounds super fun to me, so long as it doesn't delete my regular Go account. If they made a long form story mode that required several hours of gameplay, and I mean like a hundred at least, that might really generate interest from older players

    Let's just let the game evolve. We don't need everything tomorrow. I'm an OG player, ranked very high in everything, and it's good we have some downtime, some boring months. Let the game breathe. It's a great game. Players want everything yesterday. Let just the game be what it is, play everyday, accumulate xp and dust, go with the flow, and everything will be fine. If you don't have money to invest in the game, in your entertainment, then it's not the lifestyle for you. To fully appreciate this game, it needs to be an integral part of your life. You need to have a rigorous schedule, you need to go out and play, you need to have key players in your community for raids and trades, you need to invest money and time. It then becomes part of your life. Just go with the flow. Set yourself goals. Make some excel sheets. Study the game. Know what you need. I'm a 45 year old person fully committed to this lifestyle for the past 7 years, and hopefully it continues until my death.

    All of these new features sound really great but require a huge amount of development and probably pokemon co. agreement (hard to obtain it seems), plus the fact that adding a lot of features would make the game more complex for new-comers.
    There are already so many little details that should have changed already:
    * the bug when you give berry to your buddy and the pie chart doesn't update than suddenly you get it full and get a heart
    * the bug that each time you fed a pokemon in a gym, a few seconds later it notifies that your pokemon needs attention... well I should have been notified before I fed it, not after... thanks
    * have a next pokemon button in the gym instead of trying to click on the right one ending up feeding a berry to the wrong one
    * have less clicks to access IV (stars) like a press and hold to show directly the stars or a small medal somewhere (anyone I see playing appraise pokemon he just caught, let's make it simpler)
    * have less clicks to manage tags (easy to remove, so hard to add)
    * have the possibility to edit a search instead of having to create a new one and drop the old one + rename
    * have the possibility to reorder your saved search
    * have a better filtering/sorting based on IV percentage
    These are small UX improvements that don't require a lot of code change but still not really improved.
    They should implement a special research shop, that would make them a bunch of money and player at a certain level could have access to complex and long research with guaranteed interesting rewards like those XL candies that are so hard to get or this stardust that takes me ages to get even with starpieces.

Make the requirement a lvl 40 pokemon, convert it into a "Booster" item of sorts that gives another pokemon of the same type +2 to all your IVs, as a way to raise a pokemon up to 16/16/16 or something. Maybe make the first one do +2 and if you do a second +1, raising the cap to 16/16/16.
    Also an item that allows you to trade a pokemon and preserve the IVs would be AMAZING. MAKE TRADING BETTER!

Why can't we get rid of eggs (the rewards from eggs are terrible)? Why are Team Rocket boss only spawning once/quarter?

    I think Niantics best play to prolong the game is to bring in new players. True, features for the end game players would be a great move but in regards to "keeping the game alive" they'll need to keep bring in new players.
    Whatever features come next, it will probably be targeted at bringing new players.

    I agree with most of what you say there. But I guess Niantic have to keep a balance between their main player base, which as they say is more part time players, and the more extreme players. If you make things too hard I think it will put off some people.
    I haven’t powered up every mon I want to mainly because I don’t have the time and people around to do the silly amount of raids you need to get the XL. I think making XL so unaccessible is one of the worst decisions they have made.
    Really want them to add more things to do though as you said. And some other ways we can get XL apart from raiding! I dread the day XXL candy comes out 😇

    Dont agree with alot of your suggestions, essentially you are only introducing temporal solutions that only push back the goalpost. Even if you add a prestige system, you will eventually reach that point when you hit max prestige and then you'll feel the burn out again, adding new pokemon also has the same effect, people will get temporarily excited before it dies down in a week or 2. Points of interest can be a good idea but need to have a dedicated system or minigame related to that. What you might be looking for is additional reasons to catch and raise pokemon, showcases are essentially one of those side contents that introduce a new mechanic to the game but is horribly simplified and have terrible rewards (because essentially if you are not 1st, there is almost no reason to participate) Other things I can think of as follows:
    1.Contests- (let your pokemon earn ribbons visible on their model, and have additional stats on each pokemon (beauty/coolness/cuteness etc) that can be random when caught and individually raised through the buddy system and earning additional berries from berry bushes scattered across the map.
    2. Fishing- while this might only apply to areas with lakes/seas/rivers it can be a new aspect of encountering pokemon and have a levelling system for the fishing rod to be able to catch higher lvl/increased shinies for wild encounters)
    3. Improved Buddy system- Let each pokemon have a nature that is reflective of their animations, enable players to ride bigger pokemon, let the buddy be able to venture on their own beyond your location dragging back wild spawns/ interact with pokestops and other POI. This can be random so as to still encourage players to move about and not let their buddy do all the work.
    4. Breeding- Help players to earn candies and hatch pokemon that are rare or hard to find. this does help their profit margin because essentially it encourages more egg hatching but at least you can target the pokemon you wish to hatch and it not be random. You can guarantee better IV pokemon this way since the child pokemon will take IVs from their parent pokemon.
    I have more ideas but these suggestions are what I would feel give the game more dimension and not just a eternal grindfest.

    I'd like to see them drop level 60. I took over my friend's account who stopped playing when she hit level 40 a while ago and it's been fun trying to get it up to level 50. I really only play my level 50 account on comm days or when relevant Pokemon are spawn boosted or in raids. Other that that, I'm focussed on the level 40 account, its long to-do list, pokedex completion, and increasing its xp/stardust. It's the little things like seeing a progress bar get filled or the level up animation that keeps me motivated to keep playing these days.

    The game is too grindy. For example, best buddies takes forever. Some achievements have unrealistic requirements and not the natural part of playing. For example, routes, ace trainer, showcases. They also should make more quality-of-life improvements, reduce the animations, shorten feeding s. Why max portion and hyper portion? Most people are just collectors. Niantic can make event more rewarding for paying customers.

    I get the things you're saying, end game is an end game when you're up in the multi hundred of thousands of catches and played this game for years. And so it is for every game.
    But Niantic tries to do it with Elite raids, to help communities grow and find back. But instead get a lot of negativity from people on twitter and from you. When the real reason Niantic is trying to keep this game alive is for in-person gameplay. Haev you noticed there is story in the special reseaches but you don't read it? But for Ninatic to keep adding things in a faster phase Niantic will run out of content. Ninatic can add all gen 8 Pokemon wthin end of next weekend, though by late September people will have found most of the Pokemon who are actively playing while families with not as much time might not even have Kanto dex completed due to the rarity of many Kanto, Johto and Hoenn Pokemon. So by December you're doing this exact same video again "there is no gameplay left to do, Niantic sucks."
    Dynamax and Giganta max is Gamefreaks' Raid system based of Niantic's raid system implemented into main serie games, now Niantic is doing the same. But atleast doing a Gym reword would help somewhat to make a better reason to take down gyms if it game better rewards and also somewhat could help a new level system between people on your friendlist. The greater the friendship are, and the greater your buddy level the better the defense of the gyms will be and also better rewards from party play. And party play could bring tasks for the gyms if you and your friend is out after Community Day taking down Gyms and doing the tasks to defend the gyms by doing tasks together through Party Play.
    This is a meaningless sentence, I'm glad you read it becauase read the next one.
    Did you notice this all suggestion of great end-game gameplay? It. Is. Focused. On. In-Person. Game. Play. So once this whole remake of the gym is out, you're out again doing a video this has no benefit for rual players and all on twitter will just spam this as a stupid update. You're on the train again just like so many of your videos.

    Its time to call it a day and put the game down for good
    At this point what ur suggesting wont work
    We cant just have stronger raids and level up pokemon stronger
    We already kinda got that with mega raids and mega evolve
    What killed this game is the fact the every player feels entitled to have said shiny or event pokemon because they pay for the event they feel cheated if they dont get the shiny so they change the odds so that every shiny is just a pay to get feature basically ruining the game from there it has not recovered
    The game went from people actually going outside to overwight mums at home doing remote raids and complaining on there local facebook pogo group about not getting event shinys
    😄
    Just put the game away and move on in life is my best advice
    This morning i wondered what the state of pogo was so i did a youtube search and here we are

It being mtx is why I fell off six years ago and it's the main thing that almost gets me to quit again over and over. Mtx games are trash and the only redeeming quality this one has is being able to earn the currency with gameplay.

    Problem is the lack of communication and not respecting our hard earned dollar to there game that what the company and Niantic don't value they give out crap events and stupid rewards the frame drops. The cheating that Niantic allow. Lags when you're entering raids right now there another lad that if you block during a grunt battle it will freeze your game every grunt battle or even boss if you block it freezes your game this is why pokemon go declines and the lame wild spawn and ruined and paywalled events.
