I love playing Pokémon Go! I have been playing since 2019 and have been off and on over the years. It pains me to drop a 3 star because I recently got into playing more battles, and let me tell you, I have never been more disappointed in a online matchmaking system in my entire life! Loss after Loss and it seems like every time I hop in a battle my opponent has too many counters. Now I know that fixing a matchmaking system is a lot of work, but for the love of God make it more rewarding to play.

I'd like to rate this higher, but I really can't. Catching tons of pokemon is plenty of fun... but you either need to be picky about that you catch, or camp around pokestops. The latter isn't a good idea if you have to go and drive in nasty weather just to get to one either. Plus, the battle system needs some tweaks too. Going against people who you have a good chance of beating for 10 matches is fun, but going against people who have nothing but strong matches against you just feels awful.

I have a few issues with this game. 1. the keyboard always breaks while trying to play the game and/or it never loads because the game lags it out. 2. I have a hard time with raids because you can't do them by yourself like ever. 3. If I do win a raid the Pokémon always run away while trying to catch them, like I won the raid for absolutely nothing. 4. I can't play the game one handed, that's just an accessibility issue. 5. the recommended battle parties aren't helpful.
