  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’m trying to get back into it for exercise reasons, but I’m keeping away from the gross and greedy take on Dynamax stuff. Feels better to ignore those.

      That’s a decent reason to play. So long as you know what data they’re sucking up 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.

      I am back in for exercise reasons. I’m enjoying Dynamax as far as I can go being just one person—mostly because I live near two Dynamax spots and nothing else, and never played a mainline game with Dynamaxing so I do not know how different or how much of a betrayal it is from the mainline version of the mechanic. Curious to hear how it is greedy (honest question, not an aggressive “prove you’re right!!! because they are not!!11!1!”).

    Enshitified monetization has kept me away
