They have now communicated with us. It turns out that they ARE trying to implement it well, that they removed it because it wasn't up to their standards.

Which is what a lot of people were saying was possibly the case. That maybe it was too early to bring out the pitchforks. Are we now to be talked into persecuting them for not communicating soon enough for some?

I'd like to see new features, and more gameplay possibilities for the rural-living people. There's discussion to be had. But the outrage, the name-calling, and the demands... Eesh.

Trainers,

As many of you know, we recently made some changes to Pokémon GO.

Well, there it is. Niantic will be improving the tracking feature, not removing it.
