According to Pokemon Go players, it appears to be much more difficult to capture Pokemon after the latest update.

Some gamers believe that this was deliberately done so that they would be forced to buy more Pokeballs from the shop.

According to one Reddit user, Pokemon Go is literally not playable now. The user said that It is taking them 7 balls for every encounter and 75% of those end with a fleeing creature.

It is becoming difficult to capture Pokemon because they often break out of Pokeballs and the creature appear to jump around a lot more than ever before.

At present, it cannot be verified whether Niantic really did something to change the catch rate. According to a few gamers, the company is trying to scam players by making it more hard to play the game so that players are forced to purchase item.

One gamer said that Niantic have become carnies. Pokeballs shoot off in all types of silly directions and curve at random. After the recent update, it feels rigged.

For players who do not reside anywhere near Poke Stops, there is no actual way to get any more Pokeballs other than shelling out real money when running out of them.

Furthermore, there have been server crashes, constant bugs and updates that eliminate important features from the app such as battery saver mode and tracking.

Meanwhile, here are some tips to get PokeCoins in the game for free.

The good way to get free PokeCoins is to find a gym and strengthen it or take it down so that players can store their Pokemon there. There have been many complaints about the gym system in Pokemon Go. However, this seems to be one of the only possible ways of getting free PokeCoins at present.

Once a player's creatures are in the gym, they will have the option every 21 hours of opening up their in-game shop and clicking on a small icon in the upper right hand corner. Doing so will get players free PokeCoins if they are in control of a gym.

Gamers will receive 10 PokeCoins for every creature in a gym controlled by their team. They will also get 500 stardust per Pokemon alongside the PokeCoins.
