It’s fun to get exercise while playing a game so this game is perfect (and it includes a lot of mankeys)

The best!

It’s the best!

Coins at gyms

I love the game its so fun and addicting to play but im displeased by the coins system for gyms. My pokemon been at 1 gym for 34 days and i only got 50 coins. It will be cool if i get it over time or even when he returns cause people are constantly fighting for gyms so its harder to obtain the coins. But the coin system for gyms need to be fixed. Other than that the game is very fun and addicting and it combines games with exercise. Great way to keep fit walking around the neighborhood.

Special Research

Just wondering why I was given a special research that needed to be done within a certain time frame. I thought those are good until you complete them but the Tales of transformation linked with transforming a Keldeo and apparently that was only able to be done during the month of November. I don’t see how I am going to be able to get the research done within that being taken out of the game.

Big issue

Lately, my game has gotten very buggy. Every couple minutes, the game will kick me out and I end up losing chances to find shinies. The performance is overall very laggy too. The movements are janky, and the ability to zoom in and out with just a tap on the screen is really the most of it. During car rides, I’ll try to tap a pokemon that shows up just for the screen to zoom in or out like crazy and I struggle to get it back to normal for a bit. I’ve lost out on lots of shinies and other pokemon

Change sprite colors. Normal vs Shiny

Would you please change your PIDGEY images? The PIDGEY you are using for your regular standard wild variant is the ✨SHINY✨ variant. The normal one had BROWN plumage. The one you are using has GOLD plumage. The one you are using is the ✨SHINY✨ PIDGEY. Please fix this.

This is my favorite time passer

I just love this game so much I just play it all of the the time when I’m bored and when I’m not I really recommend this game you can do so much fun stuff like recently I caught a cobbling my 16th legendary Pokemon it’s so fun try it out!

Needs work

I like the game….but it’s just so frustrating you move so slowly and I just wish that you could just click to where you want to go other than that the game is pretty fun.❤️♥️

Keeps motivated

Keeps me motivated to walk outside. It’s fun collecting Pokémon’s and participating in community events.

I love this game

I wish you could tirade over seas in it and not have to be right next to friends to tirad with them

Best game ever I really enjoy

This is just the best game ever

Trying to get in

Sometimes I get upset because I can never get in, but it is still OK. Please help me.

Diabolical

All these updates and I still can’t get 1 rioulu like what does a man have to do to get a lucario. It’s not even fun at that point. Yall need to do better pogo

Uwu

I love Pokémon GO. It has every single Pokémon my favorite shiny beware it is so cute I’m like oh my God I have literally a shiny and purified ho. It is so cool please share your favorite Pokémon. Thanks.

We want add joystick

You should add a joystick even if you buy it from time to time it would be great I hope you see and read this comment and add the joystick to Pokemon Go

Two new items

Hi Niantic I just need to ask about 2 new items 1: shiny charm like a free research for the shiny charm 2: galar starters just we need more starters because I've been adicdid to them

Great game

I love this game and I highly recommend it if you like Pokémon

Great game!

Ninantic on Christmas could you give us a guaranteed lucky trade Oh and about the game its very fun great to play with friends but I think the pokecoins limit per day should only be limited to you pokemon or at least increased, and I feel that some of the items in the shop (especially the storage items) are overpriced.

NPC

Don’t do battle NPC because they get the special every second and it’s not fair

Pokémon love I used to not know what it is

Thu best game evaaaaaaaa!

Pure awesome ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s amazing you can play with other players and make friends and best of all you can meet up with your friends and go Pokémon in together so it’s just amazing five star easy. Add mega Lucario pls!!! :) thank you.

A good game

I have played Pokémon go for a while and it’s amazing except for one thing on one of the previous updates my Pokémon go started to glitch and the words would become fuzzy and blocky and my character would change colours

Scatterbug

I was going to evolve but the CP goes down and I was wondering if it supposed to go down because everything else goes up when evolved.

What the heck, STARDUST SCAMMER?!

I powered up my Gardevoir and wow, it said it should be 2000 CP, but it’s not. It took all my stardust but not the candy, too! What the heck?! :(

Shmiy/crashing

Found a shiny pokemon then my game crashs nut still good

iPhone 14 pro update.

Needs an update for the iPhone 14 pro models. Some of the content is cut off with the notch.

Great game just one issue

The only issue is that if you have a long distance friend and you become lucky frends it’s worth absouloutly nothing

Can’t update

I remember playing this when I was 5, but now I can’t play it because it says; “please update”. But I can’t update it.

Bugs

There are a lot of bugs like when you click a Pokémon it takes a while to respond. I’ve also clicked a Pokémon and it broke out first try and this happened a lot. No matter what you do, give it an ultra ball with a golden berry to a 12 CP and it will still brake out first try. It’s still a good game overall though, they should add mega balls.

A very good game but one bad thing

I really like this game. It’s been so addicting for me and I really enjoy it. One bad thing is when I encounter a Galatian zapdos it spawned right inside another Pokémon. I was so sad because I wasn’t able to get the Galarian Zapdos.

Problem

I like the game a lot but for some reason there isn’t an are you sure you want to purchase option

Why is this game so GOOD

I loved this game since I started playing it and I still love it!!!!

AR Mode

Please let us get out of AR mode without pulling the Pokémon out. It’s the most stressful and annoying dysfunction of this app

Mi juego favorito

Me encanta este juego lo q me gustaría es q aya mas probabilidad de atrapar shainies

I think it needs more rotations for some Pokémon

I want a Kangaskhan as it is one of the 6 last Pokémon in my Kanto Pokédex along with Vileplume, Dewgong, Arcticuno, Moltres, and Mewtwo but unlike the others which the majority of can be caught in the wild or evolved from another Pokémon (the only who can’t is Mewtwo) Kangaskhan which is apparently super common in Australia can’t be caught anywhere else I am just asking for Mewtwo to return to raids soon and Kangaskhan to appear in the U.S. soon.

This game is awesome but can u add more stuff?

Pokémon go is awesome and all but here are some things that u should add or things I don’t like and what u should fix.1.u should add that more people can add in the gyms people are looking all over for a gym but u can battle and get the gym.2.when u look in gyms people and me sometimes see a bunch of Pokémon together it’s kinda funny to tho. 3.u should add that u can hug hugging u can do once a hour or add something else that u can do with ur friend please I have more stuff but am to lazy to wri

No words to be said🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕🥕

Fun but Not Worth Spending Money On

Fun game and premise. However it feels like the app needs a code overhaul/optimization. It’s very slow at times to access certain parts of the game and the accuracy of touch inputs is somewhat poor compared to other apps/games I’ve used. Also be prepared not to catch anything sometimes. I’ve had 18 excellent curveballs in a row with golden razz berries fail.

Amazing Game!

This Game Is The Perfect Pokémon Adventure Game!

Great game!

i really love playing and it gets me out of the house and moving

Raid Difficulties

Be prepared to waste your time battling for legendaries and such. You can spend a bit getting enough people to do a raid or spend money to buy remote raid passes and then maybe defeat the boss. But then you can sometimes get perfect throws with countless poke balls and golden razzberries and not even come close to catching it.

Battle

The Pokémon battles need a lot of work or people need to stop cheating

RAID TIME AND DAILY GOLD

WE NEED MORE RAID TIME ITS SO STUPID THAT THERES A TIME LIMIT FOR RAIDS ADD MORE TIME AND WHY IS THERE A DAILY GOLD LIMIT NOW THATS DUMB

Good game bad avatars

The game is good and is very playable unfortunately there are many bugs for it lack of storage, revives are very rare unless you have money and due to the updates really bad avatars. Game is somewhat playable but for now it’s just in ok.

Very sad updates

Pokémon Go was one of my favorite games in 2016. It had an amazing tracking feature with the footsteps. They have been adding nothing but bad updates to the game since. Yes adding new Pokémon to the game is a big plus always. But here comes not terrible updates, changing our appearance in game was an awful move. Removing hips/curves from female characters so we can look very unnatural? Changing the style of characters was the most unnecessary thing you could do. What is the point to that?
