I en nylig oppdatering til Pokémon Go gjorde utvikler Niantic både små og store endringer i spillet. De mest kontroversielle av disse var at sporingssystemet ble mindre nyttig, og at de stengte tredjepartssiden Pokévision.com.
I et nytt innlegg på Facebook har Niantic forklart hvordan de tenkte rundt avgjørelsen, og det handler i hovedsak om å forbedre de grunnleggende mekanikkene for å takle alle spillerne. De skriver også at spillet fortsatt rulles ut i nye land, men at interessen har gjort det hele til en utfordring:
"Trainers,
As many of you know, we recently made some changes to Pokémon GO.
- We have removed the '3-step' display in order to improve upon the underlying design. The original feature, although enjoyed by many, was also confusing and did not meet our underlying product goals. We will keep you posted as we strive to improve this feature.
- We have limited access by third-party services which were interfering with our ability to maintain quality of service for our users and to bring Pokémon GO to users around the world. The large number of users has made the roll-out of Pokémon GO around the world an... interesting... challenge. And we aren't done yet! Yes, Brazil, we want to bring the game to you (and many other countries where it is not yet available).
