For what it’s worth, I acknowledge our incredible online and global Pokémon Go community even if Niantic doesn’t. I know it feels like we’re just screaming into a void and no changes have been made, but we should all be so proud of ourselves for spreading the message and uniting together for change as a community. I’m so amazed to see tens of thousands of people coming together all around the world to express our love and care for this game, and wanting positive changes to be made for ALL types of people and communities. We really do need to take a moment and be proud of our impact, we’ve done such a great job.
I know so many of us are demotivated when it comes to Pokémon Go right now, lots have quit, lots have moved onto other things and it’s sad to say the least. BUT, for myself I’m just trying to focus on the community aspect as much as possible and connect with you all everyday, and trying to have fun despite the circumstances.
Regardless of the future of Pokémon Go, what changes are made or not made, I just want to say thank you for all the remote raids over the years, all the friends I’ve made online especially through my streams on Twitch. We have by far one of the best gaming communities in the world and I love every one of you. Let’s continue to connect, chat, rant if we need and just focus as much as we can on each other, the community. 🤝 ❤️ 🐑

Constructive feedback:
These restrictions and price adjustments only hurt people, and they certainly don’t encourage exploration. No one benefits from these changes, not a single person.
Pokémon Go is no longer an in person game exclusively like it was in 2016, times have changed. It’s now a game that’s been enjoyed all around the world through remote raiding with our amazing global and online community.
While adding more in person raid rewards like extra XL candy is a good thing, as well as discounting regular raid passes, that doesn’t help rural players, people with disabilities who can’t play and be outside for long periods of time, and people who simply don’t have an in person community to play with. Not to mention, people who have social anxiety and simply don’t feel comfortable meeting up with strangers for the sake of a raid, which is completely valid and shouldn’t be over looked. I don’t understand why positive changes and extra incentives can’t be added to in person raiding without destroying remote raids for people who rely on them.
Niantic, we have trended world wide on Twitter, we have a petition to save remote raids with nearly 100,000 signatures, we have done all we can as a global and online community to be heard and we’ve been COMPLETELY ignored. The more you post about future events and other Niantic games (which no one plays anyway) the more upset and demotivated your players will be, and the more people will quit.
Respond to us, realise that the majority of your player base is actually the online and global community’s, get rid of these changes that ONLY hurt people, and understand you can bring people together without it being in person. All of this, comes from me genuinely caring about this game and loving our community so much. I want to see it continue and I absolutely hate seeing my friends quit, people being divided and upset.
I’m not giving up, and will continue to do anything I can to express constructive feedback and keep the community’s message alive.

@RandomSoju@MariDoz@Mrsbagnet Yeah, it does, I just couldn’t think of a better way to put it. But I was going more for him making himself feel cooler and more powerful because he was clearly better than her and “doing her a favor” which is more of how you put it.
@RandomSoju@MariDoz@Mrsbagnet I wouldn’t put it past him, he didn’t seem to really love her and thought she was frumpy, etc. it’s almost like he was pity dating her in the first place.
@RandomSoju@Mrsbagnet@MariDoz Right? I either don’t watch the adaptations or wait until the WEBTOON is over, which means I probably don’t end up watching them 😂
