Angry Pokémon Go Players Criticize Niantic for ‘Illogical’ Route Restrictions

Pokémon Go Fans Upset Over New Limit

Today, Pokémon Go players are shocked. They found out they can’t make more than five Routes in over a month. Many are upset with Niantic. The company only mentioned this change today, even though it’s been in place for a while.

Players had started guessing these changes. Whenever they tried to create more than five Routes, a message popped up. It said, “You cannot create more routes. Wait and try again.” But, there was no official word, until one player asked Niantic directly. The news didn’t sit well with the fandom.

Niantic replied, saying players can only make five Routes each month. They added that this might change as they keep checking submissions.

Fans quickly showed their anger. The wider Pokémon community also joined in. One player couldn’t believe it, saying, “Five a month?! That’s nowhere in the game’s rules.” They added how this limit didn’t make sense. The game’s about exploring, yet now they can’t create community Routes.

The Information Gap

Another player highlighted a big issue. The game doesn’t give enough info. They see it as Niantic not caring about their players. Others pointed out that some players, especially in big cities, seem to get their Routes approved more than others.

More Concerns

But that’s not all players worry about. Some mentioned issues with Zygarde cells disappearing, lack of rewards, and more. Niantic knows. They’ve admitted adding Routes was tough. They’re trying to make it better.

Fans want more transparency and fairness. They hope Niantic listens and makes updates soon.
