Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining about you, I’m just so sick of YouTube. The ads are out of control. I think the number one thing I’m jealous of with Android users is YouTube Revanced
Do you mean you have to wait for your save to sync or it doesn’t pick up your save at all? If it’s the latter that sounds like a bug. Every time I sign in I have to wait about 30 seconds for the server to download my saves at the title screen.
I lost interest in catching them all when I got to the point where the main pokemon I don’t have are behind ridiculously low egg rates.

Personally I just find it to be a location data collecting app with a light video game skin over top of it. I love Pokemon and wore out of the game when I realized player fun isn’t niantic’s priority in the slightest, it’s how to squeeze more and more data to sell out of the player. If it wasn’t for the blue chip IP they landed the company would be gone already. Literally every other game they’ve launched has been a flop
I think that kind of action is what would get regulators on Microsoft’s back which is why they started selling games on third-party platforms like Steam. Could be wrong though.
