Man, if Pokemon Go has half the depth of Ingress it'll do awesome. The problem with Ingress isn't lack of depth, it's that a new player can't see where the depth is due to bad game design. Pokemon Go has a much better newbie experience (still could be better).
On the other hand, the strategic games that are at the heart of Ingress depth don't exist in Pokemon Go, so we'll see.
- pricechild 10y agoMy experience has been that the tutorial is exceedingly lacking. * It's not even obvious that the first 'catch' is a choice between the three starting pokemon? * What's the green circle which changes shape mean? * What's 3 footprints? Look online for a bunch of myth already being set up. * One prominent site is still suggesting you can "pick up" missed pokeballs so they're not wasted! Ingress' tutorial & tooltips were far better designed.
- BryantD 10y agoThe tutorial is not great, but you can actually engage in the core loop (capture/evolve) at level 1. Conversely, one of the most common newbie questions in Ingress is "wait, why don't my bursters do anything against these high level portals?"
