A bad choice of advancement for the Pokemon franchise.
I'm an avid Pokemon player. I started when Gen 1 first came out, and I have played every "Blue aligned" game since then, and all the third games as well (Yellow, Crystal, etc.).

That being said, this game was executed extremely poorly. Niantic ignores basic aspects of Pokemon (trading is notable here) in favor of fixes that are needed but not as crucial. Pokemon events around the world are a joke, leading to people paying money for travel or tickets and then leaving them high and dry. It was a great idea, but Niantic was a poor choice for execution. You only had to look at the way they ignored their other game, Ingress, to know it wasn't going to work out.

For a game that had such promise, I am extremely disappointed. Better luck next time.
