"Pros and Cons of the Buddy system."
#PokemonGO: As you may know, the buddy system just came out. I like it a lot, but think there is some room for improvement. I made this list to either clarify things, introduce people to it, or maybe help someone figure out whether they like it or not. Here we go.PROS- It's adorable. There is no way to get around that. Seeing a little happy Pokemon running around is so fun.- It's awesome at the same time. If your buddy is a Legendary or something, you can act cool and let your Groudon intimidate any level 4 trainers within 100 miles.- More interaction. It feels like there is more stuff to do and have fun with, without feeling like a checklist. It gives the pokemon more personality than they have ever had.- The system is pretty straight forward. The meter for hunger is front and center at all times, making it easy to read. Also the Pokemon tells you what it wants to do.- You can save progress! No more debating whether or not changing your buddy to this other pokemon you need candies for! Who cares, now you can pick up where you left off immediately without any progress or distance walked lost!CONS (Disclaimer: the system is in early phases, so this will probably change in the future.)- Say goodbye to your berries. No kidding, the hunger meter depletes pretty fast. You have to constantly feed them or else they go back in the Pokeball. To get them out is another 5 berries.- The only time you can quick feed is when the pokemon is "asleep" as I call it. So basically you can't just go to the menu and hit "feed", you have to go through the whole AR, berry select, throwing, and exiting process. It's a pain.- Walking is no longer a priority, and now it feels more like it doesn't exist. The bar isn't obvious, and i have to scroll all the way down the buddy menu to see how far I've walked. Since this was to whole point of the buddy system for so long, I don't like how it got shunned.- Sometimes you buddy guns it to the horizon and just oh well. Better wait for it to run all the way back.thanks for coming to my ted talk via /r/pokemongo https://ift.tt/36Qyf3H
