Pokemon Go has been in the news for a while now. The augmented reality game based on the original series of Pokemon needed players to go out and hunt for pocket monsters, evolve them, fight gym battles and much more. While many were sceptical about the initial hype of Pokemon Go, even after the revenue figures stated differently, the majority of people were positive about the long-run of the game, with even the Indian gaming industry not mincing their praises about the game from Niantic.

While the game has not been launched globally yet, it didn’t seem like a task for fans to get their hands on the game, however this meant they were missing out on many features. Some third party applications tried to make their way into the ecosystem by filling those loops, the developers are not so happy with the fact as Niantic, CEO, John Hanke did not approve of third party pokemon mapping sites like ‘Pokevision’.

A recent update has disorganised the display by not letting users track the distance of pokemons in one to three footprints, instead just displaying a silhouette without notifying the exact distance of the pokemons, which has led to frustration among the fans.

But recently, the developers took to the social networking site Facebook to address their thoughts.

“We have read your posts and emails and we hear the frustration from folks in places where we haven’t launched yet, and from those of you who miss these features. We have removed the ‘3-step’ display in order to improve upon the underlying design,” read the company’s post. “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.”

While recently, the CEO’s accounts were targeted by hackers, citing the apparent reason of the game not being released in Brazil yet. Taking that into consideration, Niantic explained, “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).”

They also dropped a word on why they have not been actively responding to fans saying, “If you haven’t heard us tweeting much, it’s because we’ve been heads down working on the game,” while promising that they will keep the fans updated of what’s going on.
