I believe that if this game is properly developed they could even have 8 gyms per country and a poke league after you collect the 8 medals. It could turn into a really nice father-son/friends experience for many. They can really do something big with this. | ||

You realize that Nintendo/ Niantic wants more than 50 people to play this game, right? | ||

Do you realize a gym in the way they work in the other games is npc controlled and you just beat them once for the medal, right? You can also fight other players/npc on your way through the map. They could change what today are gyms to controllable zones or anything like that. Why do you have to just jump into the worst conclusion possible instead of expanding an idea? geez.. | ||

1. What part of your recommendation is any more of "a really nice father-son/friends experience for many" than Pokemon Go? 2. When you say "They can really do something big with this", what makes you think that they haven't? Millions of people are already playing the game, it's the top grossing app in the US Apple store, it's hit #1 faster than any other app or game ever, and it's the biggest mobile game in the U.S. already. And it's only been a week. 3. Why would you want to remove tens of thousands of local gyms- which undoubtedly provide far more accessibility than just 8 per country- if you want to make the game more popular? You'd be making it incredibly inconvenient for 99.99% of all players. It also just sounds like you want to play regular Pokemon for the Game Boy/ DS... fortunately, you can do that any time you want! It just seems incredibly silly for you to say "I believe that if this game is properly developed", when you really just don't like the game. | ||

Travelling the country to actually achieve something (getting a medal for instance) 2. I am talking something big game related, not money related. Blizzard also did something big money related but every one of their games turned into crap thanks to that. 3. Why would you think they have to be removed instead of renamed? The way I see it this is no pokemon game, you can just swap pokemons with digimons or any other kind of being and it is all the same. I am just saying this game could relate to its predecessors and become an even better version. Keep the current gyms but rename them and put eight NPC controlled gyms across the country, a poke league and you just have a "real life" pokemon game. | ||

You may disagree with those things, but it's silly to subjectively dismiss them and say that they're not doing it properly and that they're not doing something big with their ideas. 3.

If you want Pokemon Go to be just like Pokemon, then I'd think that the bigger concern would be that you can't use your Pokemon to weaken other wild Pokemon and level them up by fighting Pokemon (that basically the current format is more of a glorified virtual reality Safari Zone + rare candies), rather than the fact that it's missing gym badges >.> | ||

You like it like it is, enjoy it. I would love to see something else, not something different. It can be expanded instead of overwritten. | ||

People have jobs, they have families, and they can't spend weeks and thousands of dollars to go compete in a video game. So what if a couple thousand people can afford to do that. The other millions of us can't. That kind of competitive mode needs to be online only. Also the social aspect of the game is what I really enjoy atm. Being out with dozens of other side loading happy Pokemon trainers is awesome. | ||

8 gyms per country is silly unless you live in Vatican City. | ||

its amazing to me that people are already bitching about the game (other than servers, which are experiencing difficulties). | ||

I just don't get it. Just like the guy who said it would be great to have the old battle system and someone said his girlfriend would not like it. Like she couldn't just throw the ball all the same and keep catching pokemons like she does now. You see problems where there are no problems. I am adding features and you feel like I am removing something. EDIT: On July 15 2016 04:51 dAPhREAk wrote: yes, lets consolidate all of the gyms into fewer numbers. that way i have even less of a chance to ever win anything against the hardcore players who dont have 9-5 jobs apparently. its amazing to me that people are already bitching about the game (other than servers, which are experiencing difficulties). You keep what you already have and ADD SOMETHING, also NPC controlled gyms dude. Use your eyes to read. | ||

You keep saying this but you're the one who's changing his message. You originally said "I believe that if this game is properly developed they could even have 8 gyms per country" lol. Not additional; nice try though. New ideas are cool and all, but you were the one who was dismissive of what the game currently has, insisting that they're not developing the game properly or big enough. It shouldn't come as a surprise when your ideas are refuted. | ||

to be fair I think the game will hit retention problems in a week or so due to it's lack of depth, but adding very exclusive content isn't going to fix that | ||

As it is now I often just see a ton of people staring at their phones in the same general area. There's some person-to-person interaction, but I feel they could incentivize more of it.

I also believe that in a couple weeks, a couple months, the game won't be nearly as popular, as people realize there's basically no reason to be doing this. However, I do think it has some staying power from the fact that it's a game you can play where before there was nothing. People go for walks and run errands. Why not turn on Pokemon GO while you do these things? | ||
