Are they buying it for the business opportunity or the massive amounts of geolocation data to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?

There are emotes that can punch or kick a player to get them eliminated, and these are OP and locked behind the battle pass

Better hope multiple Pokémon don't come home at once, you'll be charged to let them come back and still won't get any extra coins for it. Coins from gym are put into escrow until your watch ten ads.
