You know, sometimes I like to think that Pokemon GO is more than Pokemon GO.
Pokemon GO = Niantic + App Content + Community.
PoGo wouldn't be what it is now if it weren't for us, the community, who contribute to the building of this augmented world.
App Content includes the Pokemon characters, the gameplay, and all the others that are in and only in the APK. Niantic has a say in what the content will be but other parties like PTC also do.
As for Niantic, well, it's Niantic. They did a terrible job of implementing the idea. Even till now the game is full of bugs and the servers enjoy going down every now and then. Everybody hates Niantic for a reason. Niantic is the driver of this train, promising to a wonderland, yet we as passengers are seeing endless darkness.
Sometimes I wish that it isn't Niantic that's running this game. Pokemon Go is still the game, we are still who we are, but the people behind the scene (game designers, engineers, public communicators) are different. Would we enjoy the game more? I intend to believe so.
The same for Draconius GO. You know what's lacking? From the equation, you can clearly see - community. Without the community, these sort of games will be less than half fun. Until Pokemon GO becomes so dead and everyone is looking for alternative, I'll stick to PoGo.
