This game can be enjoyable but only if you spoof or either live in such metropolitan countries(i.e. surrounded by many iconic landmarks) I live in a poor place where the gyms and pokestops are kilometers away. Raid battles are as poor as a homeless man. To use a raid pass, you need more friends irl to raid(which is unfortunate) And the only way for you to get free coins is to place a pokemon in the gym. Unfortunately, you can obtain it when you are knocked out if your pokemon lasts after 8 hrs.
