Despite being out for years at this point,Pokemon Gostill lacks some of the basic features and isn’t detailed like its competitors out there.

Over at Reddit, one player has drawn parallels betweenPokemon GoandDragon Quest Walk. If you don’t know aboutDragon Quest Walk, it’s a mobile game similar toPokemon Gothat uses location-based gameplay, encouraging players to explore the real world to capture virtual creatures.
It’s one of the most popular mobile games in Japan and clearly outclassesPokemon Gowhen it comes to attention to detail.
UnlikePokemon Go,Dragon Quest Walkknows what its player base demands. The game allows players to set up homes, fill them with decorators, show off trophies, and whatnot.
When it comes to the monsters themselves, they’re incredibly detailed, and the process of catching them is more in-depth. That’s not all;Dragon Quest Walkexecutes missions and events quite well and entertainingly, unlike Niantic.
Both veterans and newcomers are frustrated withPokemon Go‘s lack of features. With what other developers in the genre are doing, gamers believe Niantic needs to include such fundamental features, which have become staples in the industry.
It’s just mind-boggling how Niantic is underutilizing a massive franchise likePokemon.
