I've played this game for about 2 hours, and I already hate it. What a horribly imbalanced design. I literally live on top of a pokestop, and I have friends near areas that spit out absurd amounts of rare pokemon. How is someone in a rural or suburban area supposed to compete with that unfair advantage? The game punishes people for living in the wrong place? It would make more sense if pokestops were delayed by distance travelled, instead of a set timer, to actually encourage the travel thing they keep harping on. Also, the pokemon should be requested client-side, instead of having a server dish them out based on geography (Why the fuck are pokemon more abundant inside a city than in the actual countryside, anyway? It doesn't make canonical sense).
But that's not even the worst part. Isn't catching shit-tons of pokemon only to store them away, never to see them again, totally antithetical to the whole "power of friendship" message the series has espoused for years?
