I don't think Niantic was responsible for the decline but just the game itself was. It only garnered the attention it did because of the Pokemon name but at the end of the day the game was a grind. I saw a lot of people lose interest because there was nothing really unique about it. Everybody that I knew that played it turned the AR off as well, so it became just another game.

> I don't think Niantic was responsible for the decline but just the game itself was. They re-skinned their previous game and only added a gym fighting minigame. It's entirely their fault. Even today the game doesn't have all the features shown in the trailer. Their game has no end-game content either so even the core demographic lost any reason to play.

  That is true. I guess you can't blame the game without putting the blame on the developers. I'm honestly shocked that the game got approved by all parties involved, though I'm sure it still made a bunch of money for all parties involved.
