Raid Bosses destroy exclusivity

One of the many aspects which are destroying the game faster than any greedy niantic goblin (maybe not).

The game is completely dead for me. I have hatched 3 larvitars and ran so many km's with him. Now at 200 candys I could evolve and get some use out of him. But I dont even care about the dex entry anymore. There is no excitement anymore with other people colleting Tyrannitars like no tomorrow.

I have ONE single blissey. Can you believe that? Even though I was incubating many eggs, I only had 3 chanseys! So last week I finally had my freaking first blissey and powered it up. Guess what, its freaking useless in this gym scene :D

Damn, Niantic screwed so many things up, I need to stop right here or else Im not done by the end of the day.

Although you got a point there, this is not the first time that rare Pokemon suddenly became easy to find. It took me months to get my first Lapras, and then the Fire/Ice-event came around an gave me 6 Lapras (not to mention the tons of fire starters)..

i quit already no competitiveness anymore ill wait till the next update. I have walked how many KM just to get Larvitar candies and about a month i evolved him and ended up got B/FB. Now that TM is involved which is great but also lost the competitiveness or grinding

Honestly I've complained enough on this forum lol I'm gonna sit it out, do the least possible effort for the most amount of profits (only a fraction of what we made in the golden age lol)

Same here mate!
I've walked thousand kilometers for chansey, dratini, larvitar.
But what?, now people so easy to get tyra lapras and snorlax

I guess we need breeding to bring the fun back!

I think all they need to add is the ability to buy 100%, fully powered up mons for 200 coins and then the change will be complete. Bad, but it will be complete.

I disagree with you...many players who lives in rural area now have a chance to get good pokémon. Many places doesn't have a lot of pokestops/gyms, dismotivating this players. Now they can capture good pokémon and could come back to play.
I agree about your condition to walk many km everyday...I did the same, but I never hatch a single Snorlax/Larvitar during my adventure and it was very frustating. Now I can get my TTar and walk to power up him :D
The new gym's system comes to give a chance to all players have a place in a gym...many players with "Fake GPS" dominated many gyms with their Blissey and it was impossible to remove them for there. Many gym had 10 Blissey with CP 2800+. It doesn't work. I didn't like about the Pokémon needs to return for get coins, because you could have no coins during 2-3 days. Maybe they can put it back an icon to reclaim coins, as before.

I agree. With the exception of Legendary releases, I'd be pleased if they removed the catch component. Random TMs are valuable enough to be the reward. Niantic would make less money, but the game would retain some semblance of its meaning without the sweeping influx of easy-to-get monsters that has basically invalidated all the work I did to build my Pokedex.

Niantic should make a poll sorted by level/city/rural and ask if they think the different aspects of the current game setup is:
too easy / too hard / exactly right.

Does it really matter though? Someone else having a bunch of great Tyrannitars (while I have none) really doesn't affect me. At least not in the current gym system.
