Ever since Scopely took over, the game feels like it's got worse. Shiny rates have decreased, no actual free research anymore (pushing battle passes way too much). Platinum Medals needed for level 80, but all the medals are unrealistically obtainable. Now they've changed team go rocket frequency. The game just feels overall cash grab during events and then boring when there's no events on - they need a middle of the road incentive for us to keep playing.

Since the Scopely takeover, things have gone downhill and fast. Niantic were already making questionable choices before selling to Scopely, which makes Scopely's bad choices all that much clearer. I miss when this game had charisma and charm to it, but it just feels like everything is being gutted. from seasonal stickers, to Rocket balloons - everything is getting pared back, at the expense of enjoyment for players.

I previously rated this a 4/5. If I could rate it lower, I would. The base game? Catching is easy, Community Days are fun. Everything else? Getting worse. What was a Basic game feature 2 months ago is now behind a Paywall or entirely removed. Team Rocket Balloons going from 1 every 6 hours to 1 every 24 hours is an OUTRAGE. Events losing bonuses so they can be resold in a Battle Pass. Events having CONSTANT issues and "makeup events" that fall flat. Do Better.
