I agree with everything you say, but I think it all boils down to "it's the PVP, stupid." Imagine if the actual Pokemon games never had trainers outside of gym

Imagine if the actual Pokemon games never had trainers outside of gyms. I don't know about you, but after a while it would start to feel like a repetitive chore.
- thatswrong0 10y agoYep. I grew up with Pokemon and didn't even install Pokemon Go.. but if it had legit PvP battling and trading, I would definitely give it a spin. How cool would it be if you were walking down the street with your phone in your pocket.. and all of a sudden it started vibrating, you pick it up - TRAINER BATTLE. You look around, and you see someone else with their phone out looking around too. Now all of a sudden you're in a pokemon battle with a total stranger! So much potential for cool experiences.. and yet they're doing nothing of the sort.

- thatswrong0 10y agoThrow an 18+ limit on the IRL trainer battles and you essentially have Pokemon Tinder. Not too big of a deal.
