My question for you is not about Pokémon Go but rather about a comment made to the news agency CNN by a game player (see above).
There’s a major grammar mistake. What is it?
After you’ve sent in your answer, read and watch the full report here: Amid frenzy, Pokemon Go leads to robberies and injuries.
I probably would have never “gone” down there if it “wasn’t” for this game.
I think it is correct.

Yes, you can change weren’t to wasn’t as both are in common usage with these forms of if sentences. However, when using would have, you need the third form of the verb, in this case gone.
