People Still Play Pokemon Go???!!!

Ex-player here, and an early adopter at that. After reaching Level 20+, just got tired of the grind. What keeps you going playing this?

I was a King's Park regular then. Driving to get there and walking for hours. After the park admin/ game removed some of the gyms because of the grass being damaged and some being memorials, I just gave up. Being bitten by mozzies while trying to capture a gym was the last straw. Like WTF am I doing this for?

    My kids used to play a lot but I think just got bored. They still have it on their phones but I only see them play it once every few months now. I know a lot of people knock the game but at least it got people off their asses and outside for a bit.

    I played initially for several months at the start. I stopped playing until around 4 months ago. Pretty happy with all the content that's been added, the raids, the spotlight hours, team rocket, the additional pokemon, the shinies, the alolan pokemon etc.

  • To be honest

    People Still Play Pokemon Go?

    This is one of the dumbest questions that regularly pops up on OzB. So either your head is in the sand or you are trolling.

      You must be fun at parties 😁

  • Yes. There is only so much news I can read while the kids play at the park.

    Captured all the originals and the stopped. No interest in the new Pokemon generations.

  • My account got shut down. Don't know why as I never spoofed. However, I'll never forget late 2017 when it was peak Pokemon Go.

  • Time spent in OzB to hunt for deals, no time to hunt for Pokemons!

  • Lost interest after they added the 2nd Gen and I didn't know wth I was catching anymore lol

    I'm a new player, I only started a month ago and do like the grind somewhat. Hatching eggs is a great incentive to get walking around.

    I don't want to pay for content so I'll grind away so I can catch all the things.

    • it was fun going around hunting at first, but got old fast for me staring at my screen which wasn't that stimulating to me - first roadblock was when i ran out of pokeballs, and you had to travel somewhere to claim free ones, the venue wasn't that close to me, so along came ozbargain deals which got me to claim some free ones remotely, but game is still not that fun for me.

      actual pokemon games and some series though * chefs kiss *

  • Played a few months at launch. Got bored because not a lot of things were changing. But played because I had young cousins that loved to play. Fast-forward to having kids of my own, they love Pokemon so I play it to get the hard Pokemon for their accounts. I got to say, at least now there are more things to do day to day and the events etc.

    I need to add more friends for the daily gifts! PM your trainer code if you want a daily gift sender!
