There is, trade you duplicates for candy, and feed your pokemon that candy to level. Don't trade you highest cp pokemon  When you reach level 5 you can battle at a gym. Not sure how that works.

You just tap on the enemy pokemon.

It's a very simplified version of the traditional combat.

Yeah pretty much. Its pretty much just a Pokemon collector game right now with gym battles which are so bad compared to any other Pokemon game's combat.

The only people enjoying it are those who like to collect.

Pokémon Go accounted for nearly 47% of the entire mobile gaming market on 7/10 - NeoGAF

 

Fresh data captured from Slice Intelligence found that in-game Pokémon GO purchases surpassed the rest of the mobile gaming market on July 10th and accounted for nearly 47 percent of the entire mobile gaming market on the same day. Pokémon GO may be luring new spenders to the mobile gaming market. Among those who made an in-app purchase with Pokémon GO, 53 percent made one or fewer mobile game purchases within past six months. However 16 percent of paying Pokémon trainers purchased over nine mobile games within the same period.

 

Nostalgia or not, in-app spending by Millennials account for the majority of  Pokémon GO's in-game revenue. With 52 percent of the buyers being between the ages of 18-34, many of these individuals were part of the prime target audience when the Pokémon frenzy first hit the United States in the mid-'90s. In addition to age gender also plays a role here; nearly three-quarters of paying Pokémon players are men. Here's the full age breakdown:

Pokemon Go on desktop?  That's as legit as it gets!

Oh I looked it up. It's very very much a scam. The software you download to play their games is actually malware.

I've blocked the pokemon adds since I lucked into finding them. Might take a few days to fully flush them out.

There's also a "play minecraft for free" add but I've yet to catch it in the review center.

Extremely. Its a pretty poorly executed pokemon
