After ‘Pokemon Go’ players knock on his door, man files suit

Images and videos of the Legendary Pokemon have been shared to Reddit and Facebook, although Niantic is yet to officially confirm that the rare Pokemon has been unleashed.

In a post on the official Pokemon Go Facebook page, Niantic said the 3-Step display, which was created to give players a vague indication of how close a specific Pokemon was, had to be removed “in order to improve the underlying design”.

Niantic did however promise to try and keep better communication lines open with players and would try and bring the game to every territory in the near future, specifically targeting Brazil. “We will keep you posted as we strive to improve this feature”, says a statement on Facebook.

The Niantic team is also working hard on releasing the game in countries where Pokemon GO is not available yet. This feature did not work the way Niantic intended it to, and did not meet their “underlying product goals”.

A New Jersey man fed up with Pokemon Go users catching creatures on his property has filed a class action lawsuit against the creators of the wildly successful mobile game. This part of the post also refers to the bumpy launch of the game, which was plagued by server and stability issues, seemingly blaming them on “third-party services”. Without a dedicated way to track down pokémon in or out of the game thanks to Niantic’s recent efforts, more than a few players are understandably upset. He hinted that they were going to shut down PokeVision and other related tools that would place certain users at an advantage compared to “Pokemon Go” players who used the traditional approach. Let us know in the comments! “You’ll see us do some things around events”.

But others were still angry, and asked that problems with the game were fixed.

“We want you to know that we have been working insane hours”. While excitement over the game’s popularity at one point more than doubled Nintendo’s market value, shares have since corrected as the company pared back expectations, saying financial impact will be “limited”.
