Meanwhile, Niantic has warned players about the new set of problems "Pokemon GO" are experiencing right now after the game opened new doors to other countries to play. The game developer has also stated that it will be filing lawsuits against third party apps.
Niantic CEO John Hanke recently explained why the company had to do it in a blog.
