This is something that a lot of people have been confused about so I wanted to share a video with everyone. There is a lot to it now and is likely to change a bit. Unfortunately, there is no PVP with this game and a lot of that comes down to violence and not wanting strangers to be interacting. I guess this is a way to protect kids. It is pretty unfortunate.
When I first found out about no PVP I was so bummed but it is understandable. I still think they will or can allow it in the future but this is its first run. I am sure many updates are yet to come out for this game.
Playing the Pokemon card game when I was a kid is PVP, I just don't get why people think it could be bad for GO. Sure we got upset when losing but what's the worst that happened?
I seen in the US news that some kids were being shot at or targeted to get shot at simply for walking around and catching them. Like criminals are downloading the app and waiting by really good Pokemon to rob people down there. That is some scary stuff!
