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. The man behind the "Pokemon GO" game stated that the third party apps had increased the chances of players to easily find rare pokemons. In other words, it is a form of cheating and it takes out the adventure and fun that "Pokemon GO" can offer.
