## Pokémon GO Reviews in South Africa

### *---- "Recommended battle party"
Why cant I just select a battle party and stay with the one I selected without it randomly changing on the next one
-- AshveerDante, 2025-01-15

### ***** "Comp"
Love the game
-- Caps9117, 2025-01-11

### *---- "Poor"
Unless I live in a big fancy city in a 1st world country. The game is unplayable
-- hvchvxd, 2025-01-06

### ***** "Where is kingabit"
Where is kingambit
He’s not in the game
-- Mickey113yie, 2024-12-26

### *---- "Pokemon went"
Wokemon go
-- kiLLe512, 2024-12-20

### *---- "Why do you need a bloody account"
Why the hell do you need a bloody full on accountjust to play a cute little pokemon game. The game is grindy and takes months to do anything.
-- Idcbruhthisisjustonereview, 2024-12-17

### ***** "Great game"
I play everyday 😅
-- M.intyy, 2024-12-03

### ***** "Great"
Amazing game but wish that the raid legendaries would be a bit easier to beat and that the Pokémon show their weaknesses and their strengths
-- Link 352, 2024-11-25

### *---- "App Closes Randomly!"
Having issues with the App closing randomly! 

I am buying raid passes because I enjoy the game and love collecting all the Pokémon, but lately the game has caused more frustration than anything else. 

After joining a raid, the app closes! 
After winning some raids, the app closes before you even have a chance to catch the Pokémon. 

Surely this should’ve been picked up before updates were released. Now what? How long is it going to take to release the “bug fix” so that we don’t waste any more coins on Raid Passes?
-- D1ngetjieDing, 2024-11-22

### **--- "Game just stops while battling"
Please investigate, upon battling sometimes the game just stops- the Pokémon still move(such as flapping wings) but then nothing more. What’s worse is you log back in and it counts as a loss for you? I totally had this last guy on the ropes and close to 2000 ELO.
-- Travader, 2024-11-06
