Has Pokémon GO Ruined the Pokémon Franchise?

wait, so are you allowed to let your Pokemon hang out outside of their Pokeballs and stuff?  Is it anything like Yellow version, which I'm unwisely assuming you might have played, where when you get a Pikachu it just follows you around everywhere and it's attitude toward you changes over time?

Ponyta?

I will open the app and leave it on my passenger seat. My commute is all back roads, so if I'm stopped at a light in town I have some Pokestops right there where I can quickly grab items. It makes my commute immensely more enjoyable. If the car is moving though, I will not look at my phone. Not trying to die over a rattata. 

Anyways, the walking to hatch eggs, or with your buddy, will not work at driving speeds, so it only will gain you a smidge of distance when your car is slowing to a stop. 

My buddy is Gloom because of course it is. 

Do you know the trick for evolving your Eevee into which type you want? I can tell you if you don't know. 

I was walking a dog a few weeks ago as a rescue volunteer and I thought, "hey why don't I pop the app open and see if anything is around in this secluded suburban neighborhood?" 1516 CP Snorlax.  

I'm still playing it in 2017. Not as much as earlier, but a lot of that's the weather. I'm level 25, and just evolved my first Charizard yesterday. I haven't spent a cent on it, either.

It hasn't completely changed my life or anything (I certainly don't doubt or begrudge those that it has), but it is certainly a welcome, and sometimes even comforting, distraction from the shit show that is life.

I hit level 35 this week!

I am hoping the legendary raids are over for a while. Coordinating large enough groups for something like Lugia was a pain. I had to join Discord and be friendly. It takes a lot out of an introvert.

Update: I caught a perfect Raikou today.

Anyone still playing? What do you all think of the new friend system? Be my friend?

(PS: this game better let you arrange different letters of Unown to spell obscenities or someone at Niantic is going to be getting a sharply worded letter from me)

I’ve never seen one here, not even in the good old days when Pokehuntr worked.

Question: is there a strategy to not opening gifts when you receive them? 6 of my 8 Pokemon Go friends are just hanging onto them, despite playing just about every day. Are ya holding out for open egg slots or something? (I promise I'll send more.)

Because God knows I want to hatch another variant sandshrew. Personally I just haven't been playing much and I've been forgetting to open gifts when I do.
