It has come to my attention that buddy Pokémon will still bring gifts when you are low on them, it seems it is just the frequency at which they give them to you was reduced after the pandemic. Looks like I don’t send gifts as much as I should 😅

I remember when people used to constantly complain that the Research Breakthrough legendaries were bad. So when Niantic removed the legendaries there were much less complaining about the research breakthrough monsters. I personally thought that the free legendaries were nice and I don't know why those were so hated.

If it’s broke, don’t fix it. Just get rid of it.

Niantic has made it extremely difficult to play this game solo. I understand it’s not made to play alone but they have to know that there’s a percentage of their players that can only play by themselves.

I miss increased trade distance. It was really helpful for kids or people who don’t like driving just for 3 minutes trade. It was one my highlight for winter holidays bonuses. I don’t understand why they got rid this. It gives players more incentive to make friends.is safer, and not to spoof. The only thing I can think of is have more in person interaction which again makes no sense for trade that take 3 min. All the trades I done I usually don’t stick around after unless there is a raid. If to make regional Pokemon more rare then make them untradeble.

Do not miss the footstep feature at all. It sucked. The Pokestops now are so much more clear on where the pokemon are

[megancooper]

I miss the coin system. I think it’s ridiculous that you can only get 50 free per day from the gyms. Especially when everything requires coins. Thank god I’m not a competitive player. But it’s frustrating from the angle of remote raiding which is the only way some players can get certain Pokémon. Any game that requires constant purchases is never going to be fully enjoyed or played as intended, which is sad.

Can Niantic just maybe listen to the community and what they want??
Fix the raids?
Make stuff more accessible to certain people?
Like goddamn Niantic just does not get us and only do what they want or what they THINK we want
They don’t get us at all

The Remote Raid Nerf and the 6 Hour Community Day Nerfs hurt the most. I also miss ExRaids. It felt a lot more special than the Elite Raids.

[zachyurkus]

I’ll never forget my first EX raid with Mewtwo. There was a foot of snow on the ground, it was winter at like 8pm so it was super dark out, and it was near 0°f and the winds were howling. So many cars were in the lot I had to park like a quarter mile away and trudge through the snow to get close enough. After all that it ended up taking so long that I was like the 9th raid lobby that only had a couple people in there and we lost. I was so upset, lol.

[zachyurkus]

I still have a 15/14/13 shiny Zapdos that I got from a research breakthrough on 2/21/19 that no longer shows that it was caught via research breakthrough.

Conclusion: Niantic hate you having fun

[crimsonfury]

I am 1000% convinced that 2016 PGo didnt flop as a game because it was associated with the Pokemon brand. It was HORRENDOUS.

[MightyCrazy]

Nowadays Niantic’s goal is to frustrate as many people as possible. Whatever is still working guaranteed Niantic will find a way to mess it up. Most recent is the 5 Star raid.

[Bajram]

Still missing the ex raids and Meowth Ballons 😢 was a great time, working together with the community to get an invite. Since the pandemic, the community fell apart.

[toriko]

My buddy still brings me presents everyday.

[Light-fhhg]

I am tired to getting furfrou in weekly 7 days reward its sucks

[iPhoneGS_]

Everytime anyone asks niantic to fix anything they just remove the feature then bring it back worse…

[SimaShangde]

#12 It still works until this day. I'm not sure if it's the same as before, but it works. To trigger this function you need to send/remove all of your gifts. Then your buddy will bring 5 gifts from the POI around. It can be done once a day. Sometimes you can even get a gift from a pokestop that has been hidden doe to some edits.

The black kyurem and white kyurem could come back during the Pokémon GO Unova tour, but it will take some time because you have to create fusion energy for them same thing with the last event that we had and instead of catching the fused Pokémon from defeating those fusion raids you’ll get the previously fused Pokémon like Pokémon that was previously fused with it like necrozma so we have to wait a little longer for them to come back as fusion Pokémon
