"Pokemon GO," even with its popularity, is seemingly testing the patience of its fanbase. After all, the steps being undertaken by its developer — Niantic — due to the shutting down of its tracker tool seem to take even longer than expected. Despite the great fan demand for its return, the company still hasn't brought back the in-game tracker tool and even now Niantic has said that it will not have a definite re-release date.
According to Game Rant, the developer said that the in-beta tracker that made an appearance around the Bay area will most likely not have a release date until further into the future. This tracking tool is actually being tested in the San Francisco area and is thus geo-locked. As of the moment, it will not be released anywhere else until further notice.
This will no doubt result in more disappointment among the game's fanbase, especially those hoping for the official tracker to make its way back into the game. Even more so now that Niantic has moved to shut down one of the most reliable third party sites such as the PokeVision, which resulted in even more frustration among the players who want to use a tracker, regardless of its legality.
As most players can remember, Niantic gave a proper reason behind the removal of its official tracker tool. It was first taken out of the app due to the fact that it had to be improved, such as its underlying design. After all, it had received negative reviews due to its confusing information.
However, according to the iTechPost, with another useless update for "Pokemon GO" which removes the Pokemon spawns and shuts off the Sightings tool after the users get past the 30mph speed lock, it is expected that most of its players will be affected. As such, it seems that the future of the game has taken a turn for the worse. Only time will tell if users will still persevere in catching Pokemon despite several setbacks with the app.
