Pokemon Go in india review
Pokemon Go released about a week ago, and like most people reading this, we figured out how to install the game and start catching them all right away. When we first played it, we liked Pokemon Go. As someone who has run a half-marathon, this author naturally enjoys walking outside. A game where we get to live our childhood fantasy - head out in the real world to catch Pokemon - sounded great. The first few days were fun. And then the crashes began.
hat is when we devised a two-phone strategy to ensure that we caught the Pokemon.
We caught a Pokemon on our iPhone 5s, saw the app freeze with a spinning
Pokeball
icon on the top-left. We whipped out our OnePlus 3 to check if the Pokemon
had showed
up in our account. If yes, then we force quit and restarted the app on our
iPhone. It did
show up as long as we were patient. The experience was the same
when we used the
OnePlus 3 to catch Pokemon.

This is the best feature of Pokemon Go. Syncing
works perfectly.
If you catch a Pokemon
on one device, it shows up on the other one immediately.Any other changes to your
Pokemon account reflect instantly. We used it to great effect in order to
counter the
app's numerous issues - constant crashing, freezing, failing to load the
map, freezing
when you tap a gym, freezing for over 10 seconds after you start a gym
battle, among others.
The game has other issues too. The game doesn't work at all on 2G
and its performance
is good only if you have a stable, fast 3G or 4G connection. This is a
problem because
we feel every developer should program apps keeping poor connectivity
in mind. People
are bound to hit spots with poor coverage everywhere across the world.

There are not enough Pokestops or gyms in many areas across India.
For a country as
densely populated as India, that spells doom for new players. The game
definitely needs
some kind of a matchmaking system. Most Pokemon gyms are ruled by
overpowered
players who've already hit level 15 or 20. Battling against their 750CP
(combat points)
Pokemon is not going to help new players whose best Pokemon has
200CP at best.
The developers need to figure out a system where players are
matched by level or by
the combat points of their Pokemon so that there is some parity to battles

Pokemon Go isn't officially available in India, but if Niantic and
Nintendo
didn't want people to play it in India, they shouldn't have made
all of this game
data available.
If there are even two or three Pokestops and a few Pokemon available, people aregoing to find ways to download and install Pokemon Go in India and play the game.
