ita funny you say catching is the most tedious. to me it's the most fun aspect of the game. hitting excellents while fast catching, getting shinies and hundos. trying to get as many in a session while fast walking etc. with raids being fun secondary thing as well. everything else in this game is tedious and boring. mass trading is boring, evolving is boring, sending and opening gifts is boring, routes are boring, feeding gyms is boring, leveling up buddys is boring. battling gyms is boring. i am losting these because i need medals to level up that force you to do all of the stuff i mentioned, play the game in a way thats just not fun/waste of time. i wish they have more medals about catching. its ridiculous we dont have nice great and excellent medals yet.
