"[Complaint] The belligerence of commons like Rattata really hold back Pokemon Go's potential as a fitness device"
#PokemonGO: Yesterday, I decided to brave the bitter cold and go for a jog while playing Pokemon Go. Despite maintaining a low jogging speed, eggs weren't getting distance very reliably... that's fine... I'm mostly here to catch pokemon and work on things like my Youngster badge.I encounter a Rattata. CP 186. Yellowish-Greenish circle. As I'm jogging i quickly lob a straight throw which hits the circle, yielding a "Great!". The rattata breaks free. I repeat this process... it breaks free again. At this point, I'm frustrated, and my jog is being interrupted. I pause my jog to quickly focus on a curve ball.... BREAKS FREE!This has happened to me before... and as before, Rattata all of a sudden gets stuck in this bizarre loop of blocking. Jumping. blocking. blocking. Jumping. With NO delay between subsequent animations. So while i'm watching this rat jump around like an idiot, my workout has quickly been ruined.If PoGo is meant to be a game that encourages fitness, two changes need to occur:Increase the speed limit for egg hatching. it's ridiculous that my 5KM jog at a slow pace yields 1.3KM of egg distance.Make low level idiot commons like Rattata EASIER TO CATCH! How is it that catching actually good useful pokemon is easier than a mid-tier Rattata?Fix your game Niantic via /r/pokemongo http://ift.tt/2yqkhFa
