Thats the point of my comment, they knew people are using tools to play the game after a while and haven't even considered tapping into that market in the slightest.

Like, imagine a fully open world mmo pokemon game. Theres absolutely a market for this, but the only thing even close to it is PoGo on emulators or Minecraft mods. Nothing official

It's certainly not common but I've known people like this as well. It's harder with kids involved, but I've seen that too parents split up but stayed friendly and ended up doing a lot of "big family" style gatherings with both bio parents and their new partners all being involved in the kids lives and being friendly

It was weird for me to see as a kid but now I'm just really impressed

Initially yeah, I generally agree with you; but at some point you start using tools to target and farm what you actually need and that exploration feeling largely gets lost pretty quickly once you start tapping into Pokemon Go Nest maps and such.

Then you start studying how spawning works, tap into some glitches there, etc.

Pokemon Go has like 700+ Pokemon... so you aren't going to catch them all by simply just walking around your town; in fact at some point all you get is your regional spawns until you actually fly abroad or utilize and tap into events.

Then you'll generally start using Bluestacks and some GPS mock tool to get whatever you need in different countries.

I admit I only played a little bit when it released, but man that would really defeat the purpose for me. It already felt like a game with no gameplay. The “go explore and discover Pokémon” was quite literally the only little bit of fun I was able to find, and you are proposing you get rid of that entirely.

I’m obviously not the target audience as I stopped playing pretty quickly. But I really don’t know what the point of the game would be at that point of exploring to find Pokémon wasn’t part of it.

Eh, the dedicated games more than make up for it; Pokemon Go was fun for a bit to go outside and walk a bit but weirdly the stopping to do battles / etc slowed down the actual exercise portion of the thing.

I would much rather it just simply tracked where I went and then I could replay Pokemon encounters when I got home that I could just slowly churn through.

Still encourages folks to go outside, but now you don't have to stand around somewhere to wait for an encounter to pop up.
