I’ll do that. You’re right in that it’s been years since I booted up the original. I want some death company gear too which I don’t think is in 2 at all.
That’s a decent reason to play. So long as you know what data they’re sucking up and selling and are ok with it, more power to you. What’s crazy to me is I live pretty close to a couple of gyms and I constantly see people drive up and play from their cars. Now that I think completely defeats the purpose.
Been clean from this game for a few years now. It’s really not worth it; Niantic just uses it as a geospatial data harvesting tool rather than focusing on making an entertaining game, imo. There’s a reason all their other games have been failures, the Pokemon IP is the only thing keeping this game afloat.
I enjoyed Legends Arceus despite its performance issues. Looks like they fleshed out a lot of what made Arceus fun so I’m optimistic. Also very interested to see what they do with the alt starter third evos. Loved Totodile back in Silver so I think I already know which one I’ll go with.
