Trainers, Niantic and Pokemon Go are reverting the PokeStop interaction radius back to standard distance.

According to the world’s greatest Pokemon Go dataminers, the PokeStop interaction distance has been updated in some countries and players have to get closer to spin a PokeStop.

for now, but it seems like these changes will be live worldwide at some point.

We will not make these changes until after Pokémon GO Fest in July, and we will remove them first as a test in the U.S.

We will remove or change them on a rolling basis in other countries and regions over time, and at the same time introduce new exploration bonuses.

Previously, PokéStop and Gym interaction distances were increased, to enable people to engage from further away.

After this change the distance will revert back to the standard distance, when it makes sense in different places, though may be increased during future events and as part of certain features.

The Pandemic is still not over, and many people are still keeping their distance from other players.

In doing so, they play the game from their vehicles, and the extra distance is needed most the time to reach a lot of these gyms and pokestops.

The intent of the game is to get people out, and you still do that with and increased spin distance..

This just makes the grinding nature of the game all the more frustrating.

Whoever is making these God awful decisions should spend a day in a wheelchair trying to play the game, and then decide if a shorter distance makes sense.

You make great money out of this game, what would make you think making the user experience worse for people is going to make them want to play it.

I completely disagree why would you take something away that people like especially since it wasn’t much of a boost anyway seems like a waist of why don’t you fix some real problems in the game like the friends list for raid invites is always laggy never puts all my online friends on top or make the tags visible in every menu like when I want to change a tm why cant I look at my tags oh and why do the rocket leaders have such lame catch Pokemon you get better evolution lines from grunts Couldn’t you at least give us evolved forms there are all kinds of actually useful things in the game you can do stop waisting time doin useless and unpopular things.

I will be playing a lot less with the distance changes.

We don’t spend all our time playing Pokemon, most of us have lives, families and jobs?

The negligible increase in radius didn’t change the game in any way whatsoever; it just made it very slightly more accessible.
