Christopher Buffa (Prima Games): After months of demand from millions of fans around the world, the developers at Niantic added a nearby tracker in Pokémon Go. It’s a wonderful addition to the smash hit mobile game, but there’s a catch. The nearby feature is now available across the United States and Europe. We love this game and play it all the time, so in this feature, we'll tell you how to use the cool new tracker in Pokémon Go.
When Niantic released Pokémon Go this past July, the original tracker displayed tiny feet beneath nearby Pokémon. The more feet, the closer the Pokémon was to your location. Ultimately, though, you still had to wander around in the hopes of crossing paths with that pesky Growlithe or Sandshrew. Useful, but also a bit of a pain.
A recent lawsuit against Pokemon Go maker Niantic claims the company made it difficult for minors to get refunds for in-app purchases. This could be relevant if your child under 18 spent real money on the game between July 2016 and the present.
After the release of the horrid avatar update, Pokémon GO fans are trying to get items refunded. This has led to some getting threats of being banned.
The avatar update for Pokémon GO has officially been rolled out and fans are not happy about it. Some are demanding refunds for previously purchased clothing.
