So about the same thing I expected. I really don't understand why they couldn't release this with at least half the features actual pokemon games have. Or even better, just call it Pokemon Snap, since that's what it seems to be about looking at social media. |
Some of it is a time issue. For example, battles couldn't be like the full games because 6 really strong pokemon vs 4 really strong pokemon would take to long for a game that's for intended to be played while you are out and about. Not that the system they have couldn't use polish.
But a lot of features aren't there cause this is an early version, they intended this to be a platform of sorts. I think this enormous boom caught then off guard. Obviously they expected success, but no one could have predicted we would see it become the biggest craze in gaming of the past few decades :P . Hopefully the new features role out soon, it's a strong foundation. Trading is coming soon plus more functions for gyms and poke stops so we'll see if they can keep the craze going with quick additions.
