Well, for me, you are wrong. You spend much time to level up in everywhere, in the trainer tower too. The problem isn't pay, the problem is u pay and lose more time than before. If you want to create a "goldden hole", don't create a form to make a thing worst, to give a paid option worst the older option. Want to make me spend my "money"? sure, but give a good tool for it. Don't make my game worst and expensive. Why don't implement leveling in daycare like the original games? I will pay smiling. Why don't make a big xp bonus in tower, in a new option, more expensive, but using less time of my life to do. Finally, about new players: First - The problem is don't explain in tutorial about evolve pokemon will demand more xp to level up, you choose if u will evolve or not. Now u don't have choice, u will spend more time every way. Second- How many time you need to do the history? a month? and after? a fake easier begin will help u in the future?
