Us being relentlessly shit in every aspect has at least thrown off some of the glory hunters <| sep |> It definitely could have been a fun form , that ' s for sure . <| sep |> Posted about the same a few times . Came to the same conclusion . It ' s clear Niantic wants to keep this game as casual and as simplistic as possible . I mean , look at daily quests spin a pokestop , catch a pokemon . Look at Halloween or Thanksgiving events double this or double that . Just catching a random Pidgey to get a Ditto . I ' d love to see some deep and engaging content in this game , but all signs point to Niantic keeping it just a kids game without any attempt to add any depth to it . We should get used to it . I chose a slightly different path though . I quit playing . I ' ll be catching them all as they release Gen 2 and beyond , but I ' m definitely not spending any more money on this toy of a game . But I ' ll definitely be on a lookout for any new good games that can be played in the real world nope , don ' t say Ingress . I really like the concept .
