It was also obvious from the second you started playing that you were expected to shell out lots of money to get any semblance of the "designed experience".

Also for some reason there were no poke stops or anything of note within many miles of my home. I live in a city of 60k people. But niantic originally populated their map based on the important locations in ingress, so if that game wasn't popular where you lived you basically got locked out of gameplay.
