The only reason to play this game, is because it is based off of pokemon. Niantic is an absolutely terrible company. There are so many long term bugs and problems with the game and its features that have not been addressed and most likely will not be. As time goes on, it's as if they always choose to make changes that will negatively affect their players, rather than improving or adding to the game. I submitted a pokestop nomination over 6 months ago and it's still being "reviewed". Pathetic....
