Is the new PoGo the "New Coke" of gaming?

I see a lot of parallels to that case study, where Coca Cola company rolled out a new version of their world leading product because they thought the new version would be liked more than "Classic Coke".

Did anyone actually beta test these changes to a game that most players were accustomed to playing within the parameters? Ones that voided the efforts that were already made by many enthusiastic players? Did anyone ask current players how they might react to the changes? It seems like a major oversight to me. The programmers did a nice job creating a new gym system, but the story line planners missed some fundamentals in my opinion.

They need to do some major damage control, and find a fair compromise between the old and the new.

Kinda like classic coke ;)

Haha. Coke. I thought you meant the crack of gaming because I'm hooked on raids and TMs like pooky on rocks.

Question is, will Niantic even consider reverting to the old system? Perhaps they need many players to "report urgent issue".
