The Pokemon GO Anniversary Event Is Underwhelming*
Lol. Just kidding. But I do think the event could’ve been way better. But whatever. I’m at least happy with the new gym system and raids, though I do wish I go at least 2 or 3 raid passes a day instead of one. Mainly because, when I do lower level raids around my neighborhood, no one is around to help me because no one wants to waste their only raid pass on level 3 or lower raids.
