The game isn't just the game, it's the social experiment of walking to a place with a lure and seeing 15 people playing. It's hearing someone talk about catching a pokemon you just caught yourself at the same location. It's Tinder for gamers. The lack of gameplay is probably intentional. There is very little to do without going for a nice walk. If you play it like a walk supplement, it's great fun and not overwhelming. If you go on a walk just to catch Pokemon, it's a nice outing - nothing more.
