Pokemon Go launched last month to extreme popularity, but a recent software update and a crippling glitch have led some people to turn against the game.

1. In the News:
WOE

2. In July, Pokemon Go
was finally released

3. People celebrated a
childhood favorite
come to life

4. As well as the
dawn of widely
available AR
Gaming

5. But the problems
soon emerged

6. Some lamented the
absence of a social
networking function

7. But that's not really a
problem. Niantic just
hasn't gotten around to
creating it... yet.

8. The bigger problems
came with a buggy
Pokemon tracking
system

9. A glitch rendered
an important in-
game function near
useless.

10. Naturally, third
Party apps
sprung up to fill
the void.

11. But a recent in-game
update apparently
penalized these apps,
and forced them
offline

12. However, the same
update seemed to shut
down the native
tracking feature for
good.

13. The update also
altered Pokémon
behavior, making
their capture more
difficult.

14. Many fans of the game
feel these issues have
made Pokémon Go less
enjoyable.

15. What do you think? Did
the game launch too
quickly? Or are these just
growing pains of early
AR?
