While that is true, it would in no way aid you in finding the Pokémon, unless you didn’t know about turning the map with your fingers and getting lost by not seeing the map at the right angle as you were walking around. It was all about the steps going from 3 to none while hunting them.

It’s almost as though removing a key feature and quashing alternatives is enough to make players angry.

It’s a dramatic overstatement to call ingress a huge game. It was downloaded something like 8 million times. But there’s no accurate number ever released as to how many were active at one time or really how many people actually played. I’ve seen a single instance where 347k were actively on one thing, but there’s no…

You know those pidgeys you don't want to bother with are the best way to level up.

“Players could then select a Pokémon, tap the compass and follow directions to hopefully capture the creature they were after.”
Tap the compass? That has never been the case. The steps would decrease the closer you got. That was the whole hunt. If the compass would give you a direction it would defeat the purpose of…

This would be totally different if they didn’t have a tracking option at all. Just have a “here’s what you can find in the area” kinda like patches of grass in the games.

Instead it’s ‘We put tracker functionality in, but it broke. However if you use a third party tracker then you’re a filthy cheater.”

Insane how quick the turnaround on this game has been from incredibly fun, social media darling to near total failure.

“It takes the fun out of it”

When developers say things like this, I kind of think they’re idiots. YOUR definition of “fun” is not a universal definition of “fun”.

I’ll tell them what. I’ll stop using the API scanners as soon as they fix the fucking 3-step bug. How about that?

does your uncle work at nintendo

Nope. I wont be held hostage by fear mongering anymore. I dont want Trump to win, but I dont want Hillary either. So my vote isnt going to her.

WHAT ABOUT MISSINGNO!!!!!

Good list. Missing a few tho:

Oh.. please! People were just as distracted before this game came out. This isn’t anything even remotely new!

This is some graffiti maybe 10-15 mins from where I live. It’s kinda... sad.

I was gonna agree with you until you trashed talked my team. I would say I'll make your gyms burn but we already own them all in this neighborhood.

Who? Kabuto?
