Niantic Labs has been promising an update for Pokemon Go to fix some bugs and perhaps even introduce trading and individual battles. Well we got the bug fix update, but not quite with everything that we had hoped for.

In a 1.1 update that landed this late last night, Niantic removed the footprints for nearby Pokemon so players only see the Pokemon, with no reference to distance. Called the three-step bug, it was originally intended to give players an idea of how close specific Pokemon were to their location using paw prints. It worked when the game launched, but an early patch borked it, showing all Pokemon as three steps away.

Another change is that before you can play each session, you get a random of safety message, such as "Do not trespass while playing Pokemon Go." You need to acknowledge it by clicking OK each time.

Here is the complete list of updates from the iOS version of the game:

• Trainer avatars can now be re-customized from the profile screen
• Adjusted some Pokemon battle move damage values
• Refined certain Gym animations
• Improved memory issues
• Removed footprints of nearby Pokemon
• Adjusted battle damage calculations
• Various bug fixes during wild Pokemon encounters
• Updated Pokemon details UI
• Updated achievement medals art
• Fixed issues with displaying certain map features
• Minor text fixes

One item that is missing from the update is that battery saver mode has also been removed.

If you haven't opened the game since the patch hit, you will be prompted to log out and log back in.

Niantic is working on other changes as well, such as removing PokeStops for places like the National Holocaust Museum or adding retail outlets in exchange for ad dollars, although no timetable has been given for when these would be released. Trading should be added soon, while radar apps may stop working at some point. If the latter happens, Ninatic hopefully will have fixed and added the footsteps back for nearby Pokemon.
