If it was already an official fact that the 2016 fashion game was entering a period of decline, the Niantic studios have not helped Pokémon Go lift the flight, but have achieved the opposite by
banning users who have root access on their devices
.
With the excuse of avoiding users who cheat, in the latest update of
Pokémon Go 0.37.0, Niantic has decided to restrict access to all users who have root on their device
.
Niantic digs the tomb of Pokémon Go in its latest update 0.37.0.
This action taken by Niantic has received a barrage of criticism from users, in fact, thousands of users have begun to rate the game with a star on Google Play.
This measure does not make sense, since having root access in our terminal is very common and is not necessarily done to cheat. Many times the root is needed to give a longer life to the battery, to update obsolete terminals, to free up space in the internal memory of the device or simply to customize the appearance of Android.
Asking users to give up all of the above in order to play Pokémon Go, could be described as a clumsy move.
Users who have made purchases within the application are the most affected, since they do not know if they can claim their money.
In addition, the
update of Pokémon Go 0.37.0
brings another novelty, although this is not bad. This novelty consists in the possibility of choosing a Pokémon to take it for a walk with us. While we walk with the Pokémon, it will release candies. The distance that has to be traveled to obtain a candy depends on the Pokémon class and varies from 5Km to 1 Km.
In short, while from Niantic are dedicated to put obstacles to enjoy the game, users are still waiting for the promised new Pokémon tracking system.
