Senior product manager Tatsuo Nomura stated that the company intends to do something about the issue, Polygon reported. Nomura said that they are trying to improve the training gyms and will expand the system.

Furthermore, Nomura stated that in the company's attempt to improve the training gyms, they will have to compare how the gyms work in "Pokemon Go" mobile game and in the main games. Nomura also said that they needed to define gyms for the reason that they expect more "Pokemon Go" gamers will play that portion.
