Technical Issues
Pokemon GO is fun in its own special way, there’s no denying that, but there’s also no denying that this app has had its fair share of problems. From frequent freezes, to server woes, and even faulty maps, not everyone has had the smoothest adventure. As is the case in just about any game, glitches and other troubles can drive even some of the most optimistic players away, no matter how much fun there is to be had.
Niantic and The Pokemon Company have been trying to implement fixes for everything, even rolling out a brand new patch just the other day, but it’s not enough for everybody. There are fewer freezes, that’s for sure, but Niantic has completely removed the game’s Pokemon tracking system, and requested third party tracking apps like Pokevision be shut down. While we suffer fewer bouts of downtime, it’s now incredibly difficult to track down Pokemon in your area. One step forward, two steps back. Unfortunately, those two steps back are causing players to take steps away, having had more than their fill of Pokemon stress.
