New in-game google ads may negatively impact the playing experience of Pokemon GO
For anyone new to Pokemon GO, they should know that there are ads already present inside the game. But till now, any type of ads provided was related to the game elements themselves. For example, there are advertisements related to sponsored stops, gyms, and random item drops. Still, these were treated as a part of the game by the trainers.
With the Google Ad Library, there is speculation that Niantic can now release half or full-page ads within the game which may not be related to the Pokemon franchise. Many users have expressed their disappointment regarding this through their posts on social media.
I swear if they add ads I’ll quit 😑
