Online battles are broken and make no sense, you will get people cheating. Don't know why since its just a casual game. Also if you aren't near any pokestops it's basically not worth playing. I wish they would fix all the game ending bugs that literally constantly pop up doing basic actions in game. You'll click a Pokemon just to sit idle until you close your game and reboot it and it is gone. Like dude are you kidding me, basic gameplay crashes the game.
