How often do you go out to play GO? Do you go out daily, once a week or you can find Pokémon at home?

I usually play the game when I go out but sometime I turn it on when I'm at home to catch Pidgey, Rattata, Zubat... and sometimes I'm lucky to find Eevee or other Pokémon :yesyes:

I usually play when I must go out for another reason, until now I've never went out just to play Pokémon Go.

Well... even I play less since the release... and that's because I can't find a lot of PokéStops and Gyms... plus if I know that I can't find Pokémon in some areas I won't launch the game to save my battery :yeahyeah:

Well, what makes more desmotivated with Pokémon GO, is its "bugs".
I know that the developers are working hard to improve the game, but still being frustrating to play GO sometimes.

I mean, sometimes you discover that you walked for awhile but the game didn't registered your route (so you can't hatch your eggs), sometimes you find a cool Pokémon and catches it but then the game throws an error and you miss the Pokémon, and almost every time I have problems with GPS/internet signals (something that doesn't occur in another applications).

About the battery, well Pokémon GO consumes a lot, but I think it also a "half fault" for Android, 'cause this system consumes a lot of battery, even when when "idle". This is something that makes me miss my old Firefox OS device, which has a much better battery consumption (but in another hand, it had MUCH less apps and I wouldn't be able to play Pokémon GO with it), so sad Mozilla just killed the project.

Let's not talk about the bugs that are still discovered and not solved :uhm: and instead they remove this "bug"
Fixed a bug that kept defeated Pokémon at 1HP; these Pokémon will now return as fainted Pokémon. We’re working on rebalancing the training battle, stay tuned.
Why? Dunno... it makes more sense that the defeated Pokémon returns with 1 HP... but maybe they want to make you use more Revives/Potions? :uhmm:

I'm not playing that much either. I don't go out that often and there aren't many Pokéstops and gyms around where I live anyway. Not being able to estimate where the Pokémon will spawn made the game somewhat more cumbersome and kinda made me play it less too. Finally, I don't feel like there's anything truly rewarding in the game yet. There's no story, and the gym battles aren't PVP, which makes the victories not very satisfying. Even though I love Pokémon very much, I don't think catching the same Pokémon over and over again, and sometimes encountering a new Pokémon out of sheer luck isn't very exciting. Thus right now, I'm at lv.15 but can't see the point in trying to get higher. I hope Pokémon Go will grow into a game that is always fun to play, with rewarding accomplishments based on skill and knowledge instead of luck and grinding.

Well, maybe in the future they will add something :yesyes: and maybe the trades/battles will make the game even more interesting :yesyes:
I like when they update and add something new, it makes me want to see what they added :yesyes:
