gkmizuno, 
IDK why #Niantic thinks they're on the right path for #PokemonGo.
Primarily over the last 2 yrs, there has been a lot of cooling of enthusiasm of the game.
Curbing the enthusiasm of the most-invested folks, like #Pokeminers, corporate's signal is: We don't want you.
I've seen the majority of folks move on from the game or wind down their neuroticism. Niantic is its own worst enemy, here.
