Digging their own grave

Pokémon go, is an awesome game, but apparently Niantic isnt very concerned about how many people play their game because of the recent updates. All this began when the time for Pokémon to spawn was changed from 5 to 10. Not a big deal, it was still fun and promoted walking. Then, there was a small grace period before they released their second fatal update. They scrapped their tracking system. SERIOUSLY? THEY REMOVED THE ONLY WAY TO FIND POKÉMON ACCURATELY! That also removed all third party scanners, which literally was the only reason most of the players actually went to catch Pokémon. But more advanced trackers like FPM survived. Then they killed any form of hope by adding a captcha robot detector feature. Which removed all the advanced third party scanners. Being able to actually know where the Pokémon I wanted to catch were was the only reason I played Pokémon go. But I still played for a while by riding my bike and running certain trails. But then, the final straw was when Pokémon ceased to appear if you walked, ran or biked too fast. Now, all I can do in Pokémon go is walk around at the speed of "Old man" to catch a pidgey or two. Or if Im lucky, a rare and elusive rattata. Thats how much I care at this point. Pokémon go lost like 90% of its players because of Niantics wrong decisions. Also, seriously, the buddy system is is complete and total garbage. "Let me walk 5km to get 1 candy for my eevee!" And dont forget about Pokémon gos high end "nearby" tracking system. Which is completely broken. There was a koffing on the last slot (which means it was the farthest away) and suddenly it appears right in front of me. All in all, I dont think Niantic even cares about this game anymore. They removed key features and made the game unplayable.
"prepare to be the very best like no one ever was, because they are throwing out all that made Pokémon interesting and keeping the part where you walk back and forth in the grass until something happens"

UPDATE: SERIOUSLY NIANTIC
Daily rewards?! Is that honestly the best you can do??? When will trading and player battling come! by this time next year, Pokémon go will be history if you dont start putting your priorities straight, do you want to end up like hello games?

UPDATE 2: CRAP TRACKING
Once again you let us down, we were thinking big, Trading! BATTLING! LEGENDARIES! Some even went as far as to say GEN II. But instead of all that you bring us... The removing of tracking for rural areas... and a few measly, useless, baby Pokémon. And the worst of all, (though old news) you cant collect pokestops while riding to school, or going to the mall in an uber.

UPDATE 2.5: Ive had an epiphany.
Even though it was pretty obvious, This game had the potential to stay in the top 5 grossing, because they are using a franchise most people would love, they had the opportunity to implement many features that could have made the game SOOOOO much better, they had the resources, but they didnt have the skill...
Out of all the app companies... out of all the great app developers... They had to choose the most incompetent, most useless and crummy app developing company... Niantic. they have only had two apps before Pokémon go " Ingress " which I have to say, most people like it but it still looks pretty crummy and poorly made. And that other "nature walk" one I dont even want to talk about. All in all, we have to face the facts... "Niantic" is incompetent

UPDATE 3: Its too late
Its too late Incompetent Niantic, your game is DEAD and theres no saving it. At magic kingdom where there are supposed to be a TON of people that play pokemon go, but there are only venonats and garbage like that. No matter what you do to try to revive this game, its already over, you are done, THIS GAME IS DEAD, even my diehard pokemon go friend is starting to quit, no one even remembers this game anymore.

UPDATE 4: Legendaries
Wow legendaries were released ON ACCIDENT after their event was a total fail, not only that, but since this game is dead its extremely hard to get enough people to join in on your raid to beat the legendary. Even if you do beat it, it has a 3% capture rate, so its literally impossible to catch them

Yet I still play
