Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> fans <\/strong>have convinced themselves the mobile game has entered the \u2018end phase\u2019 of its lifespan after pointing out all the ways they believe the quality of Niantic’s handheld title has plummeted in a series of online discussions earlier today\u2014and it has to do with more than just the Remote Raid Pass changes.<\/p>
At the top of the list were claims that new debuts have been few and far between as of late<\/a>. They also mentioned other things like rehashed raids, Community Days that don\u2019t align with fan wants, poor spawn rates, underwhelming research tasks, a dwindling population due to dissatisfaction hitting an all-time high, and plenty more.<\/p>
\u201cIt certainly looks like PoGo<\/em> has reached the end of its life cycle,\u201d said one fan<\/a>, who summarized the community\u2019s view in one sentence. They likened it to what they\u2019ve seen from other mobile titles that have stared down death\u2019s door, claiming devs make incremental but consistent changes that \u201cdisproportionately affect free-to-play players\u201d until the player base has been reduced to those who have no issue spending money.<\/p>
That fan wasn\u2019t alone. Others agreed, insisting the Pok\u00e9mon <\/em>title’s death is looming, but added it\u2019ll be a long, drawn-out process that could take years<\/a>.<\/p>
Plus, since Niantic recently announced a new title, Monster Hunter Now<\/em>, some believe the company is already doubling down on the next big thing<\/a>, and while they won\u2019t neglect Pok\u00e9mon Go <\/em>entirely, it won\u2019t be their main focus.<\/p>
