It's terribly buggy and clearly totally insecure. They can't keep up with the server load and nobody had a conversation before the game shipped about protecting against abuse from people reverse engineering their APIs. This is a joke.

- greenpizza13 10y agoI think the game's success speaks to the popularity of the franchise and the desire for fans to have this sort of game. I agree, they must have known it was so buggy before launching and went ahead anyway... because profits. There should be some minimum level of quality regardless of the fact that if you shove crap through the door people will buy it.
- LoSboccacc 10y ago> Niantic has no idea what they're doing that's true on so many levels. even the gameplay is bonkers, both because it is way removed from the actual pokemon lore and themes but also more importantly because level caps and no mid quest but just gyms block every casual player from the only player interaction available
