While myself and my partner have loved this game since day one, and spent many many dollars on in game purchases- we are leaving the game until they decide to make changes that allow expeditions to be suitable for users that do not live in densely populated areas. Mushroom challenges which used too take less than one minute now take up to 20 days to complete. Mushrooms have increased from 10s of thousands of HP to millions with no scaling of existing pikmin or challenge rewards. This is sickening to say the least. A once great game has turned in to an unusable product over night, and I’ve seen this opinion shared by EVERY SINGLE PLAYER that I follow online. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of DAY ONE players have spoken out against this change, and niantic has unreceptive.

Having 100%d pikmin 1-3, I think a solid approach would’ve been making very large, dangerous “boss” creatures with these mega HP bars. This invites collaboration, cooperation, and the sort of multiplayer niantic was aiming for. These challenges could have increased requirements and increased rewards. Mushrooms, challenges which in the mainline pikmin games are basically slimes, taking 20 days, though, is absolutely beyond comprehension.

PLEASE FIX THIS. If the change becomes properly rebalanced, and a thought out implementation of the current challenge system is put into play, this game could easily become one of the best niantic has ever made.

This game is super cute, but the only thing is I hardly have any incentive to play anymore because no matter what I do, my pikmin’s friendship levels WILL NOT go up. I have a purple Pikmin that I’ve taken on SEVERAL expeditions as well as some starred pikmin because I like to farm decor pikmin. It’s been a good week and NONE OF THEM have increased friendship level even a little bit. It shows the little heart above them when they come back from the expedition and I collect the item from them, but other than that, they show no signs of leveling up. It’s incredibly frustrating and makes me not really want to play the game if I can’t even get decor pikmin anymore. I’m not even having trouble with counting steps or anything, everything else in the game is working fine (other than the occasional glitch where two or more pikmin are in the EXACT same spot and clip through each other, but that’s just visually funny and doesn’t affect gameplay) but I CANNOT raise friendship levels. I’m not sure if anyone else is having this issue, but it’s incredibly frustrating since I’ve starred all the pikmin that are from places where they’ll get a non-sticker decor item. Its a fun game and doesn’t drain my battery as much as pokemon go, but this is very annoying and I don’t see the point if I cant even get decor pikmin

I’ve been playing this game since it launched on my iPhone 11 Pro. For the most part, it’s a pretty fun little game. It’s basically a gamified pedometer, but it has some neat features to encourage walking out and about in the world. Because it’s a passive game, there isn’t much to do; the joy comes from the exploration and seeing your personal achievements each day and week.

Unfortunately, over the past couple of months, the game has become nearly unusable. There’s 10-, 15-second freezes for every action that I do in the game. I’ve tried logging out and logging back in, deleting and reinstalling the game, everything short of wiping my phone to start over. Nothing fixes it. So what should take a minute or so to do in the game takes five or more. I used to run flowers every time I walked outside, even if was a short trip to my car in a parking lot or to the bus stop. Now, it’s not even worth it. More than half of my journey is over by the time I get the game to work.

Now that the weather is getting nicer, I’d love to play it more. Unless Niantic fixes the performance, and I don’t see that happening, then it’s going to be relegated to an “occasionally when I have time” type of game.
