  • Winger_Live Not a Dog (@Winger_Live) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Glad to see that the community is united in its disapproval of this update. Fix the game first.

  • Quark1880 Quark (@Quark1880) reported

    @PokemonGoApp @johnhanke @PokemonGoApp maybe fix bugs and improve the game instead of making stupid cash grab decisions. You are the most tone deaf company ever.

  • lugo_jaylin Jaylin Lugo (@lugo_jaylin) reported

    @PokemonGoApp stop ruining your game please for the love of god, keep the gym and poke- stop reaxh distance, fix the lag, keep the incense effectiveness and get rid of the extra time it takes when running away from a pokemon... its like you want people to stop playing your game

  • MauricePaaen Rissokk (@MauricePaaen) reported

    @PokemonGoApp You only like money. You don't listen to the players. You change stuff that is good, even tho you have plenty to fix. You are truly a bad company

  • SuradetD Suradet Darayen (@SuradetD) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Did you think about these issues carefully?

  • ye_777_ 🌹cody ʸᵉ (@ye_777_) reported

    @PokemonGoApp community. your game is borderline unplayable, and has been for almost a month, giving people seizers even, and instead of fixing those issues, you decide to take away one of the only positive changes in the last year.

  • Jasn0_X Jason Helton (@Jasn0_X) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Thus making the Pokémon very hard to catch. This also means that the PokémonGo Plus and Pokéball+ cannot catch these Pokémon either. As long as this remains an issue then reverting back to the old way is also reintroducing a bug that we don't want.

  • Th3GuyInBlu3 ✨Th3GuyInBlu3✨ (@Th3GuyInBlu3) reported

    @PokemonGoApp So are you guys going to go back and work on the same office again? Last I checked you all had employees saying they can’t talk to one another to fix problems they know about on social media yet …. You want what from us again?

  • UnicornTanooki Jin (@UnicornTanooki) reported

    @staceybishopx @ClashinCliff @PokemonGoApp My son has sensory issues and he can't handle it. He just won't play it.

  • Electrified2000 Abhishek Sharma (@Electrified2000) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I don't know why you only remove those features which people liked very much and Instead of doing what you are supposed to do ( fix the damn game, you moneyminded company) you are going ruin it further. Well done I think it is really the time to quit😡😡😡

  • staceybishopx Stacey Bishop (@staceybishopx) reported

    @UnicornTanooki @ClashinCliff @PokemonGoApp Thank you! When I posted this before, people thought I was being a brat and just wanted to complain. But no it’s a real issue. I’m sorry he’s having such a hard time

  • DrManjarate DrManjarate (@DrManjarate) reported

    @PokemonGoApp @SimplePoGo Fix the game…. THE ENTIRE GAME….

  • AngrySinn AngrySinn (@AngrySinn) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Please fix things before you make it worse than it already is...

  • hurroocane 🇪🇺🏳️‍🌈 hurroocane (@hurroocane) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Changing the interaction distance is quite literally the worst possible change you can make. It makes the game worse for everyone, it's terrible for people with accessability issues.

  • dominuspaul Paul (@dominuspaul) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Please don't remove the increased distance. The community is being very clear about this. WE DONT WANT IT REMOVED. Also while you're at it, remove that annoying white fadeout from encounters. Talk about an annoying addition that does nothing but slow down the game.

  • Hinuk_Mattila Jurtaani (@Hinuk_Mattila) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Whilst this would be great, I'm not sure if I can participate in this due to your recent announcement. If you don't allow playing at home anymore, then why bother at this. Going outside is not the problem here, but doing so during active pandemic is.

  • LilllyOf ArrayOfLillly (@LilllyOf) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I’ll just quit. As a working man can’t play without incense and the increased pokestop/gym radius. I’m really sad but I can keep my money. Simple as that.

  • Json11111 Jason (@Json11111) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I love when my gbl set is ruined because my game crashes... PLEASE fix go battle league!!!

  • shinyleeks Shinyleeks (@shinyleeks) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Many of these changes that are being reverted made the game more fun for me. I came back when the pandemic started and now I play every day. It's sad to see these nerfs but especially after this recent update. Please focus on fixing problems, not creating them with your community

  • meter009 Meter (@meter009) reported

    @falconmavsfan12 @PokemonGoApp Niantic did say the gym/stop radius was permanent. It’s really the only thing everyone has issue with. Plus it’s way too early in the recovery to start instituting these changes.

  • SirVancelot131 Vinny Mac (@SirVancelot131) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I have no problems with any of the changes EXCEPT for the distance for spinning stops and battling gyms

  • Cremisi9 Cremisi (@Cremisi9) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I can understand everything but not the reason to fix the PokéStop and Gym interaction distances that were increased, to enable people to engage from further away: First are still in the middle of a world pandemic, and second you said that was a permanente fix...

  • BerachPitchal Derach Pitchal (@BerachPitchal) reported

    @PokemonGoApp They seriously agreed over this decision. Instead of putting energy toward fixing the countless issues and broken PVP, Niantic is putting energy into taking away the bonuses that have made the game bearable. I was thinking of deleting the app anyways, bye guys :)

  • meter009 Meter (@meter009) reported

    @falconmavsfan12 @PokemonGoApp Right. The nations are right. The issue is the US is hardly out of the woods. Cases were down this time last year as well do to increasing temperatures. 60% of US states are below 50% vaccinated. Probably closer to New Years would be better.

  • tanukimasakuni mario “dumptruck” zucchero (@tanukimasakuni) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Not to mention your game causes seizures even in medicated players because of the white screen before and after Pokemon encounters. But you won’t fix that either, an actual problem. Or do you need a lawsuit?

  • rockyrageKOS rocky (@rockyrageKOS) reported

    @PokemonGoApp Keep the game the way it is and fix the bugs. I want to play with others but let’s be honest, it’s still too risky. @NianticHelp @PokemonGoApp you’re acting like this is a great thing to announce but in reality it’s going to hurt the game.

  • nothingyet nothing yet (@nothingyet) reported

    @PokemonGoApp I have to assume that the increased distance allowance meant that there were also LESS problems with players wandering into locations they shouldn't be, right? Certainly heard less about it. That alone was a fix to a huge problem y'all had since launch.

  • TheSoupeKitchen Soupe 🍜 (@TheSoupeKitchen) reported

    @SummerSurfBreak @PokemonGoApp I've played this game for 5 years and I don't intend to quit anytime soon. Niantic is making some dumb decisions, but it's not enough for me to quit playing the game. Do I want Niantic to fail as a company? No. But I want them to understand that there are problems that need fixed
