When the millions of players of Pokémon Go were getting used, he came the change to put them, in some cases, the app head.

the first of the major updates augmented reality game that has become a social phenomenon has been received largely negative: confusion and anger are two feelings that are associated in tickets specialized blogs and simple tweets of users.

“it has corrected many minor errors, but on the other hand has angered many people ” confirms BBC Mikel Cid, a specialist in mobile games and editor of technology blog in Spanish Xataka.

We tell you why.

Return to start?

the first reason that made players put the outcry was to realize that once the update installed, had been “returned” to level 1.

“Thanks Pokémon Go to erase everything that had advanced. I went from level 14 to level 2 and lost all my Pokémon. I want. Kill me, “wrote a user on Twitter.

” Pokémon update Go Reset my progress and put me in level 1. A small part of me died, “noted another .

But some specialists came quickly to the rescue.

apparently, the problem is in the e-mail that the app used to start playing.

with the update, the game uses default account that you are operating in your browser. If it turns out to be different from what you’ve been using to catch Pokémon, you are, in effect, creating a new game.

So the solution is to get out of the game and return to “log in”. With the right direction.

The support page of Niantic says “ you may have to get out of the bill twice before reentering the correct address ” .

Removed traces

This is a new feature that is generating more discontent among fans of imaginary creatures.

“Niantic -the company that developed the game- seemed to be working on fixing the issue of fingerprints indicating how far is a Pokémon, but instead to fix directly been eliminated , “says Mikel Cid.

the” footprints “were indeed marks the legs of the Pokémon that appeared on the screen to indicate how close or away was the person of the creature: three if he was away two approaching and one when he was nearly distance to catch

But in recent weeks, all Pokémon seemed to be very close.. This was dubbed the “failure of the three steps.”

The solution? Farewell to the tracks.

You’ll have to make do with a vague list of Pokémon that are close. And pray ” he wrote the specialized blog Engadget.

According to some conspiracy theorists, Niantic was concerned about the fact that some people were gathering quite important collections of Pokémon. Including some that last, and the week assuring if any “stuck all.”



Farewell to PokéVisión

The fans are also upset by the fact that Niantic and Nintendo inhabili Taron my external extras that helped locate the creatures , also called services “scanning maps”.

In particular, the criticism is against the blow to the app PokéVision, a program that had become popular in stores Google and Apple and simply no longer operates with the update .

“it stopped working to meet the ‘wishes’ of Niantic and Nintendo, it has caused find Pokémon is much more complicated, “says Mikel Cid.

” I wish we had good news. at the moment we respect the wishes (companies), “PokéVision tweeted.

But were affected PokéRadar or PokéHound, who tweeted. “we did what we could :(”

This is a disaster that should work urgently to fix, in summary ” says the specialist .

No more saving mode battery

This is something that users complained from the beginning: Pokemon Go, which requires the GPS works at all times, consumes too much battery.

So the game came with a form of “savings”, while not completely solve the problem, he served as a palliative.

This mode was eliminated, some point out that temporarily with updating.

Something good?

Against this background, the improvements went almost unnoticed.

They include the ability to customize the avatar of the player and to protect the most powerful being sent by accident to its destruction creatures.

Not without some sarcasm, the blog Engadget says that “every time you open the app, you will remember that you must be careful when you play, you enter into prohibited places and other pearls of common sense.”
