"PSA: Making things rare ain't gonna fix them"

#PokemonGO: Recently people have been churning out speculation about legendaries and Slaking, and how they will fit into the current gym system. Some suggestions touch on how making these Pokémon very very rare, or otherwise so obtaining them takes a long time.However, I believe that this will not work for Pokémon GO at all. No matter how rare you make a Pokémon, people will find it eventually. Unown spawns once every 6,000,000 spawns, but lots of people already have caught multiple copies. Plus we have the problem of spoofers/bots, who will very quickly find the required resources. People armed with bots will be able to very easily walk and find all those Mewtwo candy, or simply spoof around for Slakoth (NB Not yet) and suddenly bam 4000CP nut's running astray in Gyms, completely undefeatable. Sir, Making things rare is futile, we'll find them eventually. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2pTm1pl
