Pokemon GO just became a no go.
Pokemon GO received its first substantial update yesterday, and instead of updating the app and addressing the current bug fixes it should have, it gave all Pokemon GO players a huge plot twist – removing the footprint tracking system for Pokemon so that the location of each Pokemon will no longer be shown in the game.
Instead, players will now have to make do with the vague list of Pokemon shown on the app and physically walk through each and every terrain in search of these Pokemon. If you think this was it, that’s not all.

1. Battery-Saving Mode removed from the app
Other than removing the footprint tracking system, the Battery-Saving Mode was also nixed from the game. So if it ever makes its way to Singapore, do remember to turn on your Battery Saving Mode or bring along a portable charger when you are playing the game.
2. Update resets their progress back to Level 1
Unfortunately, some of the players were left devastated when they found out that the update has reset their game and have wiped out all their effort of Pokemon catching over the past weeks. Some have also requested for a refund to be made.
3. Removal of PokéVision
As aforementioned, one of the major updates included the removal of the footprint tracking system. But other than that, PokéVision, the tracking service that tells you exactly where creatures would spawn and also tell players how long the monsters would be available for has been shut down.
Now, players can only physically and manually locate each and every Pokemon.
4. Directing all emails to Niantic’s junk / spam mails
In the wake of its major updates, it has angered many Pokemon GO players who have proceeded to ask for a refund for the purchases they have made. However, these emails have been pushed to Niantic’s junk mail and players have not been able to get a response ever since.
According to Google’s regulation, it is compulsory for companies to forward all emails to a valid email support server. However, it seems like Niantic has flouted this regulation.

5. Niantic CEO, John Hanke’s Twitter account just got hacked
Looks like the world is really hating on them.
After all the fiasco that has been resurfacing, it looks like the future for Niantic is pretty bleak, nor does it look like Pokemon GO is going to launch in Singapore anytime soon.
Here are the status updates as of now:
