So, as everyone knows, Pokemon Go was recently released for the public, and this game is making me wanna die. I think those school educational fitness things bribed the Pokemon company to do this....

I said this once and I'll gladly say it again: this game severely disappointed me. I was under the impression that you would be able to go down the street, meet a fellow trainer, and participate in an epic AR battle. Instead, you go around finding Pokemon, throw a ball at it, yay! This game feels like it tried to stay true to Pokemon, but catching them is only half the recipe, battling and raising them is also involved.

I've never played Pokemon Go , or seen it. But I understand why you dislike it. I would too.

Can you only battle in the gyms? I don't know that much information about it, yet. XD

To be honest, this game is an AR Pokemon Snap with actual walking. Sure there is the gyms, but anyone who has been playing as long as me will tell you a true battle is against a human opponent, not a gym. It's an interesting concept, and they did a good job with it, but I feel like there is so much more they could have done with it.

Yeah, this is true ;-;
Then again this is a beta version.
Maybe in the future :)

Pokemon Go is ok but I can see a lot of improvement.... For example: I can't even find a single Pokemon in my house!! I have to go outside!!! *dramtic dun dun dun* I mean literally I have to walk through my entire neighborhood just to find a single Pokemon...

Well if you look at the version it isn't even 1.0 yet. They were probably were forced to release it before it was really finished.Right now it's a good start.  There are definitely going to be updates for the future which will hopefully include trainer battles.

Let the exercise and chaos ensue. This game left many people disappointed, but I believe it has the makings to come back from the pile of failed Pokemon interact-able games.. Maybe.

That's not really an excuse. Who on earth thought it was a good idea to have a Pokemon game(where you catch Pokemon) without battling? Sure they may add it later, but it really should have been one of the first things they did if they didn't want so much negative reception. We already have Pokemon Snap, Nintendo, you could do amazing things if you remade that with AR, but this, this is hardly a Pokemon game, I had a better time with that thing on Google Maps. :/
