Team Instinct was in the RI State House

Ooo memories. . Standing in front of the State House downtown providence boosting this gym so I could drop my Pokémon in. Yeah Puerto Rican in the State House. Hey don't judge me lol

This was back when Pokémon Go was challenging . You actually earned your stats. Before they watered down the gyms to make it easier on people who just started playing. That was the challenge of the game. Back then the more you played the more you learned about how the game worked. You'd learn something new at every level, and you wouldn't realize a mistake till after you broke certain levels. Our crew had our territory, and we held it down lol. We kept each other posted on what we learned, and the infamous Lapras on the corner of text.
I know they have launched all kinds of new updates. But the game lost its strategic edge once they started listening to the whiners who barely played. :, ( There's still a wound in my heart. They betrayed the true players by making the gyms more pansy friendly. Also it took them to long to cut back on the spoofers and botters too focused on the people who played in their cars. Not to mention they had no interest in actual players opinions and feedback.
I made to level 31 but it wasn't the same. They tamed my beast . I worked so hard to make them battle worthy, just to wake up an update later and find out Niantic came by while I slept and Neutered them. They took my beast and made them politically correct... WHY!!!!!! My blood still boils.
I'm sure the new updates are cool, but I never recovered from their betrayal. I went on every site I could protesting, but it was useless. My one guilty pleasure was stripped from me. !

The second is my good friend, he was mad I took his pic. Til I showed it to him. Then he laughed. That was the perfect Pokémon for him. Hehe
