Danny I think you might be the only person I know who's disapponted
It's probably because I was hoping for it to be good, but instead it was only mediocre. I was waiting for it for quite some time, because I've played every pokemon game, and I was super into ingress for a while there; so I'm disappointed it is so underwhelming, missing so many features, and not even engaging.
I wasn't jumping onto it bandwaggony, I was hoping for the awesome core pokemon mechanics overlayed with GPS, the ability to trade, in-game chat, and a large roster of pokemon to catch. I was hoping you'd have all the normal stats, you'd be able to battle wild pokemon and catch them by picking your moves tactical style, and you'd have player vs player battles, and all this overlayed in an awesome AR world with objectives.
What I got was a "throw the paper ball into the bin" style mini-game, a "click till it falls over" combat system, and a "if my e-peen number is bigger then yours, I win" stat system.
So eh.
Maybe I expected too much, but I played Ingress, and I played every pokémon ever, so I expected the perfect merger of the two, instead it's something in between that isn't showing the best that either has to offer. I really went in expecting it to be good and to be eating my life; but I just found it dull, unimpressive, and really a disappointment. It could have been so much more.
Instead I've already uninstalled and moved on, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
