And the day arrived; I just uninstalled Pokéom Go and these are the reasons

Pokémon Go

Since Nintendo announced the launch of Pokémon Go to the market officially, only in some countries, I did my best to be able to install it on my mobile device, using the unofficial version of the game that circulated on the network of networks until it was officially launched in Spain. I had been waiting a long time for the launch of this game and although now I comb some gray hair, I remember that when I was still a child I enjoyed for hours and more hours playing the original Pokémon game for the Game Boy that my parents bought me after asking for it for a long time.

At first I thought that Nintendo was right with Pokémon Go, but once the days have passed and after a few hours of play, I have realized that the essence of the first game has been lost. Despite all the regrets, the day has come and I just uninstalled Pokémon Go from my smartphone, based on several reasons that I am going to tell you because I am very afraid that several of you will be the ones who will coincide with me.

Before starting I want you all to know that this is an opinion article, and that just as I have not finished convincing or falling in love with Pokémon Go, surely there will be many who will have loved it, of which I'm glad because that will mean that you are enjoying the game what I enjoyed the original released a few years ago.

Pokémon Go, a good game if I had not played the original Pokémon

In the original Pokémon game for the Game Boy, which would later make the jump to the Nintendo 64, being able to transfer captured creatures to fight a duel in the Pokémon stadium, we received a Initial Pokémon that became our inseparable companion throughout the game.

I remember that not too long ago Charmander became an inseparable companion, reaching beyond the borders of my Game Boy. However, at present the initial Pokémon that we receive is useless at all and is simply one more creature than many are stored in the Pokédex.

Charmander

The way to catch Pokémon has changedYes, it is true that the new game encourages walking and moving, but we do not all want this. In your thirties it is difficult to admit in the middle of the street that you are standing with your mobile device in hand because you are trying to conquer a gym or collecting objects from a PokéStop. Perhaps Nintendo should have thought that those of us who play the original Pokémon, today we have an age, and especially little time to be able to go out and walk the streets, wouldn't a version a little different from the one that could be played from the living room and look like the original ?.

Another thing that I absolutely do not like is the way to capture Pokémon by simply throwing a Pokéball at everything that crosses the path. In the original game, before we could capture a creature, we had to fight it until we were tired, and then capture it, if we could. Now it is enough to walk through the streets, waiting for the Pokémon to come out, and capture them without too much effort.

Yes, I just uninstalled Pokémon Go

When Nintendo announced the launch of a Pokémon game for mobile devices, I was not happy, since the first thing I thought of was a version of the original game, with its improvements and some more options, but what we have finally found It has been something very different from the game that many of us played and played for hours on the Game Boy.

For a few days I've been trying to enjoy Pokémon Go, but too many things have led me to uninstall the game from my mobile device, but without a doubt the main one has been the loss of the essence with respect to the original game. And it is that no matter how hard I try, I do not see science walking aimlessly in search of Pokémon and trying to conquer a gym dominated by a fifteen-year-old with nothing to do all day other than trying to be the greatest Pokémon teacher in history .

Opinion freely

I know that the entire article is an opinion from beginning to end, that many of you will share with me and that many others will find absurd, but I could not stop including this section, because I know that many will only read this part.

Pokémon Go is an absolute success that is bringing huge amounts of money to Nintnedo and especially the possibility of regaining the popularity lost in the past. However, for all of us who could one day enjoy the original version of the game, we feel cheated by a game that is nothing like the ones we played on the Game Boy and that rewards everyone who spends the day walking the streets , something for which those of us who have the occasional gray hair don't have time.

Hopefully Nintendo releases a new version of Pokémon Go in which everything returns to normal, but I fear that unfortunately we will never see it, although I am convinced that it will correct some things in the game that is currently available for smartphones in all the world, because if not its route and the future of the game will be tremendously short.

Have you followed the same path as me and have you already uninstalled Pokémon Go from your mobile device?. Tell us in the space reserved for the comments of this post or through the social networks in which we are present, and also tell us if you think that the Nintendo game respects the original game that many of us were able to enjoy on the Game Boy and then supplement with the game released for the Nintendo 64.

    Absolutely right, I am 31 years old and have many obligations therefore I do not have time to go out to capture pokemons. I have also uninstalled it very much to my regret. A greeting

    I do not agree with you if he has time to go for a drink to be at home also to go out

    I respect your opinion, but let me leave you mine too. No, I don't think that Pokemon Go is the most wonderful thing in the world or that it surpasses its predecessors, but you can't compare them either, it's like pretending that a pear and an apple are the same only because they are both fruits. Pokemon Go, although it is a tremendously incomplete game with a lot of lack of substance, is in essence different from its predecessors ... and it is good that it is so.

    I also grew up raising a charmander to a Charizard and dominated the Indigo Plateau (Indigo Plateau in the English version), spending hours and hours sitting playing with my Game Boy Color, but seeing how this new approach to the franchise did not really have the least resemblance to the original I just decided to see it for what it is and it's just something new.

    The people of Niantic are definitely making many mistakes in my opinion, which have frustrated my desire to continue playing a lot since, almost like you, I am close to uninstalling but for totally different reasons, however, the beauty of Pokemon Go is not It is in the game but in what it made us (Makes) feel and that is whether it is sitting on the sofa living the whole adventure (Pokemon Sun / Moon is coming out, which I think is more of your style), or running through the street to try to catch an elusive Blastoise in the few hours you have left after your routine (I also work all day) has revitalized that child in us and who undoubtedly loves to live in a world where these Pocket monsters exist in whatever way.

    Very bad opinion article.

    You have to write something about Pokemon because it is fashionable, I guess. XD

    Well, the comparison does not seem correct, they are different games, better wait for the Sun and Moon and play quietly at home having a cup of coffee haha ​​and I do not share your opinion as to that you are old and that it is not a game for you, I am 28, a career, a relationship and a job, and I love the game, my 54-year-old father also enjoys it a lot, I think yours is laziness and that the game is simply not for you, you enjoy games more « normal »pokemon.

    Pokemon go is the bomb but I do not deny the original pokemon who liked to choose between piplo torgui or chimchar I am 15 years old and every time I play the original pokemon I love it but pokemin go is the dream of many people I went out and see the pokemon you like in your park and enjoy but I share that there are some things I miss from the original pokemon when you felt that your pokemo beat your friend's or when you won the champions league or when you lost your first pokemon in fight and you said at the time poerdo the combat but pokemon will always be pokemon no matter what version it is if it is nitntedo or mobile no one is going to take away the illusion of capturing pokemon no matter if on mobile or nintendo when I see pokemon at a comi age me I cry when pikachu loses I hope you share this with me and I only say one thing alive pokemon as if it is the series or in nintedo or in mobile pokemon is pokemo and no matter how much pokemon matures it will always have a hole in my heart

    pokemon is said for people with time and focused on minors if we mayures want to play it well and if he did not like to walk and look for formulas to improve the pokemon, remove it as he did but it is for minors to my peer XD

    I share each of the reasons you give. And I'm also from your fifth, but in my case my brother and I played with the same console, looking at us without question.

    I have not removed it yet but I have considered it several times. Throwing balls just like that without any more sense does not convince me. That feeling of affection that you had for your first Pokémon is now non-existent. You can only interact with your pokemon in gyms and only by hitting the screen. You just have to walk and walk without more waiting for them to sprout in your path without a plot behind that encourages you to continue playing.
    I'm also a bit disappointed but I'm still holding on, what I don't know is until when.
