I haven't been there from the start , but I can safely say nothing major was changed. It has been the same game as it was when I came out originally.I think the story was interesting, game play? Interesting but if you live in a Rural or small area or somewhere heavily populated with the opposite faction and or big feilds your more likely to quit before you have a chance to fully enjoy it.Don't play the game until Niantic puts more effort into it. They are not worth your time.
