Wow you were the first to post here in nearly three months. I will admit I got burned out and took a few months off from playing. I have yet to do any PvP battles, overall the game is starting to wear out, same thing day to day, I doubt it will every achieve to the same level it was during it's first six months, I will continue to play off and on, but with it virtually impossible most of the time to take on a high level raid boss, because not many people seem to be playing it, the goal of completing my Pokedex will remain just that, an unfinished goal. But yes it is fun to find a shiny version, getting that special stone to evolve certain Pokemon that came out a few months ago has proven difficult, I thin I have only gotten the one.
Hopefully they will continue to add new features because it does get tired when you've collected everything. I've finally got to level 40.
