New Gym System = Don't care about hundreds of Pokemon Anymore
And I don't mean this in a Game Play Sense.
I mean this for each 1 pokemon.
Examples: I used to love getting Prestigers. I worked very hard for a Charge Beam, Bolt Lanturn. It took me 5 to get. But it was fun, walking by beach, hitting evolve, only to hope for that moveset I want.
Now that there is no prestiging, almost the entire pokedex has no desirability value.
I hatched a perfect phanphy today. Whatever.
2 weeks ago, I'd have been "Cool"... evolved it... powered it... stuck it in gyms. Now why bother?
I've been working the hardest time on Getting Machops for a good Machamp. I don't need eggs anymore or to catch them. I just need to go raid a Machamp.
Eggs -- pointless
Stardust --- mostly pointless
90% of Dex --- pointless
And please don't say their were only Big 7 Points before, there were tons of Prestiging Pokemon.

But why? I have 3 now, 98, 98, 100 ivs, lvl 30, 32, 31, kk/cc, c/cc and today c/dp. But why? I cannot solo a lvl 4 neither with 6 lvl 39 c/dp machamps.
I on the other hand want more golems for arcanine (hopefully flareon too) and gengars and alakazams for jolteon and some other lvl 3 like Gengar and Machamp.
Vape went ok with usual grass and jolts I had from old days.
I kind of agree with you. At the minimum, you had to keep 6 to 10 good prestigers at different levels like 1200, 1300, 1400, 1500 and 1600 Now, you only need a handful of pokemons. On top of that, with the TM, you can now fix the ones that had bad movesets, so no need to look for more Dragonites, Lapras, etc...
Yep, I was just thinking about the same thing. I got so many mons around the 1000-1500 cp range for prestiging. Was proud of them. Now they're just sitting there, but I'm not going to throw them away though.
And tbh with the raids, now it's too easy to get a 'rare' pokemon. Had to capture gastly after gastly to get a gengar. Now we've got 3 gengar's spawning in every day ;p
You are correct. Everything about this update is idiotic. I'm also wondering why there isn't a timer for attacking a gym. There is a timer for everything (battles, Raids, collecting coins, 10 minute timer to join your own gym after it's been attacked etc...) so why isn't there a timer for attacking yet impossible to add a Pokémon or defend it while it's being attacked other than throwing Razz at it (the newly retarded and OP item of your very lives)? Then attackers should be given 10-30 minutes to attack. The game is already hyper nomadic now so where is the sense?
