Pokémon Go/YMMV


 * And the Fandom Rejoiced: When the Research Quests came out, so trainers that are not able to attend Ex-Raids and raids can catch special pokemon and Legendaries.
 * Ah, gifting, now rural trainers can now catch up with their city counterparts.
 * A tiny example of sorts, Niantic fixed the glitch were Spark was missing, fans and his team rejoiced.
 * Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking: During the mobile game's early days, some gamers took the "Gotta Catch 'Em All" seriously, that they'll even trespass, go beyond the speed limit, and other shenanigans.
 * Evil Knockoff: To Niantic, Nintendo, and Pokemon International, Codejunkies's Go-tcha and similar clones are these to the Pokemon Go Plus.
 * To a degree, it got worst, since some of the poketrainers, who were disastified with the Pokemon Go Plus' state, since it didn't work. Resorted into buying the Gotcha instead.
 * Averted, the gotcha users claims that their device does the PoGo Plus's job way better or they can disguise the fact that they're playing Pokemon Go when around other adults. - Due to the Gotcha's appearance of looking like an ipod/android exercising watch.
 * The Pokemon Go Plus screams "It's ONLY for kids."
 * Some trainers own both the Gotcha and the Pokemon Go Plus.
 * That changed when the Pokeball Plus came into the scene, it has better QOL than the PoGo Plus.
 * Same with the PoGo app clones that are eerily similar.
 * What's worst is that some of the apps have features that the main games have but are not in Pokemon Go, these apps are downloaded as companion apps but a few can get one ban from the Niantic game.
 * In the game's early days and lack of features, some trainers in rural areas feel as though Niantic and the Pokemon International are just ignoring them. Due to the lack of gyms, pokestops, and even pokemon.
 * Fan of Underdog: Team Instinct, due to the few members on the team and their leader being the punching bag in the fandom, cause some to join.
 * Loot Eggs: Some poketrainers surmises that the eggs are gambling mechanics akin to loot boxes, since getting the egg that has the desirable Mon are by chance, the gamer has to use microtransactions to buy egg generators, and are seen as a bit predatory.
 * The Rival: Some gamers go a bit overboard that the rivalry can be compared to that of the Slytherin and Gryffindor fandoms.
 * Rule of Cool: Poketrainers choose teams because they think that Candela, Blanche, or Spark are just cool.
 * If Professor Willow's assistants aren't convincing, the Kanto Legendary Bird mascots, Moltres, Articuno, or Zapdos will do the negotiations.
 * They Wasted a Perfectly Good Character: Trainers wanted the April Fools 2018 sprites to end up in the game for real, were one can use a toggle switch to change the 3D animation into good old sprites.
 * Some have serious reasons for asking this, since their phones are keeping their heads above water to play. The sprites will use less energy.
 * Trainers also want Professor Willow and his three assistants to appear in the anime, either as cameos, reference in the series, or even be the stars of their own spin off anime series.
 * "Seriously, Niantic?! 500 pokecoins for a pose?
