"13 year limit for sponsored pokestops, really, REALLY?!"
#PokemonGO: Here comes the salty rant :)While I generally approve that children should not be targets for marketing I think age limiting sponsored pokestops is a mistake.I have created my three childrens Trainer Club accounts with the parent-child feature, individually approved them for Pokemon GO and did NOT lie about their age. Together we have played a lot, the six year is now lvl 27, with a Dragonite, and their older brothers even more.Today we participated in an Pokemon GO event at our local largest mall, an event clearly targeted to children and young adults. The mall is pretty new so there are very few "natural" pokestops. I could see a ton of pokestops and gyms but the kids could see none of them. Everywhere I could see kids with their parents wondering what was going on. The only ones able to play where the ones playing on their parents gmail accounts, not really the way it was ment to be played...Here is a depressing side by side comparison: http://ift.tt/2lVSaeh like this one (I doubt anyone of them have ever played PoGO) is petitioning Niantic to limit sponsored stops. While their intentions are good, they are really killing the fun for the playerbase.http://ift.tt/2kUmP7F also means when we stop for a bite when we are on the road, there will be no pokestops for the kids on McDonalds, while I can happily stack up on balls and berries.Sorry for the rant, but it really ruined our day... via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2lhIdoj
