CP changes for Pokémon not good for Gym play

Niantic has released news that’s a little troubling. There will be changes for some Pokémon’s CP, or Combat Points. The claim from the company is that this will balance Gym battling and training.

The examples listed for getting increased CP don’t really make sense for allowing for a “more balanced and competitive battling and training experience” at a gym.  Let’s be honest who uses Alakazams, Rhydons, or Gengars for Gyms?  Will a rebalance of CP really change Gym battles and training?

This and the continued speed/driving restrictions are making it harder to keep the faith in this game.  Let us know your thoughts and see below for the full details.
