Well Niantic is former Google IP whose goal is to farm users data in order to produce AI technology.
But since everything is stealing my data to produce AI technology, at least I will keep the one that gives me the pocket monsters and the monthly community activities outdoor.
It's nice to go outside to a beautiful park and enjoy the weather with a few friends while you catch the pomons
Imagine reading a dream diary, now imagine it to have polygonal graphics, that's the game, there's no objective, it's just a really cool walking simulator.
