That problem has been lessened over the years thanks to special missions and other unique activities, but certain Pokemon will just be harder for certain players to catch.
You’re meant to play every day, and even if you do, there’s no guarantee you’ll ever find that rare Pokemon you want. Pokemon GO is a phone game that makes “catching them all” entirely based on location, luck, and endless retries. That’s still an on-going problem for some areas, where Pokemon just don’t appear anywhere!Īnd that’s all by design. Some Pokemon just wouldn’t appear at all. Pokemon wouldn’t spawn unless you walked through certain spots.

Originally, players had to go visit PokeStops and Gyms by physically travelling to the areas. Is Pokemon GO really that difficult? For some of us, it can be a grueling experience - at least, pre-Covid. Prepare to get your team stomped if you dare fight Red in this game. I'll definitely have to check this one out.Most of the game isn’t too bad though. To speak more specifically, ideas such as Pokemon type and status effects still seem to play a role, which I think, helps preserve to an extend the essence that Pokemon holds while still transposing it to another genre. One thing I particularly enjoyed was that they still preserved many of the mechanical aspects of the game. However, being in the role of the Pokemon, without restricting yourself to just one Pokemon, might be a bit tricky to do, but the fighting genre might allow for exactly that. And 2) the role of the trainer is not always entirely true with every game (look at Pokemon Snap). It is important to note that 1) these games were very effective and are *still* some of the best games I've played. Time and time again with the classic Pokemon games, you are placed in the role of the trainer. I thought, after taking a look at the video, that this is a really interesting game! For me, it kind of put you in the situation of the actual Pokemon.
