"I finally ran out of Pokeballs. I can no longer play this game for free."

#PokemonGO: When the game first came out, there were two stops and a gym right inside the nearby town. It's a small town, so I didn't expect many stops, let alone a gym. I would walk around collecting stuff at the stops a day or two a week and ended up with a hardy sum of PokeBalls and gaining a decent level (21).Time passed, I didn't frequently check on the game as I did before, but I still opened it up out of boredom in town or at my house to catch a few Pidgeys and the occasional other Pokemon.... Until it happened...On my way through town I decided to pick up some balls from the stops like I always do. But as I opened it I noticed the stops were missing. The gym was still there... But no stops to get PokeBalls... Huh, weird. Maybe it's a bug? I closed the app and came back next week after I noticed a patch on my phone.Still gone. I had lost my only way to get free PokeBalls without having to drive and waste gas on a 30 minute trip to the next town. And I'm not going to do that, it's a silly reason to.So there I was, with only less than 200 varying PokeBalls. I decided to play it out as I got bored. I got the occasional stop from going out of town for the holidays.But, come today, I used my last one with failure to catch a Pidgey. I'm out of balls. It was a good run, Niantic. You brought me multiple dozens of hours of entertainment for only a few (but rather hastily made) transactions on my part.Goodbye fellow trainers, and happy hunting. via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2hSk48o
