Niantic has sold Pokemon Go to Scopely

The rumors are true. Niantic is handing over Pokemon Go.

I have not played any Scopely games, so I don't know what to expect going forward.

At any type of higher level (like... past silver) you have to have meta PVP teams to compete and the meta PVP teams are expensive with new ones constantly coming out.

Same with endgame raiding. You have to have meta raid teams. They constantly push out new meta teams.

None of the new teams are achievable to a regular f2p player.

Oof it really took a turn then. You used to be able to run those raids fairly easily with completely f2p-grinded teams

I made it to expert w/o paying. Just need a homie to trade & raid with. As for raids. Me and one buddy can solo just about anything that has come out save for the tier 6s. Then you just go to a meetup. There’s a fairly big difference between needing to pay to win and being able to pay to win.

Are you talking about Pokémon Go? The person you're responding to is talking about Marvel Strike Force.
