Year 1 I went hard on pokemon go, I committed to the original 150 (I don't recognize anything past red and blue) that were available and in my region then peaced out. There wasn't anything there past my nostalgia.

Wealth in what way? I think I gave them five pounds but that's was it. I've gotten a lot more out of it than that.

Once you get to a certain point the only way to get new pokemon is to grind eggs and they set the drop rates for some so low it takes dozens and dozens of eggs to get them. Then you have the regional pokemon that are normally impossible to get without travel that will become available for special events if you shell out for 10+ bucks. Its manipulative

I think I have all the ones from eggs which are possible, I'd need to check though. Regional Pokémon haven't been limited for a while, you can get them in 7km eggs which you get from others.

While likely true nothing is making you give them money to enjoy it.

I’ve been playing off and on since it came out and have never given them a damn cent, and have really enjoyed it.
