Reaching the new maximum trainer level in Pokemon GO might present hurdles for players close to the top. A new release of purported datamined information reveals the extent of effort required to attain level 80. An extensive revision of the leveling system is set to be implemented on October 15, and many fans have expressed dissatisfaction with Scopely’s management, especially if the recent rumors are accurate.
