A lawsuit against Pokemon Go developers Niantic is coming to an end, with the company forced to implement a new roaming system for players.

The massive success of the mobile app has also seen criticism from a number of individuals across the planet, with piles of nuisance lawsuits filed in 2016 after Pokemon Go enthusiasts began trespassing on private property whilst traversing its internal map.

As the lawsuit rolls out to its conclusion, Niantic will be legally responsible for its virtual beasts (known as Pokemon, in case you've been hiding under a rock for the last two decades), which are visible only through the mobile app.

So... if you spot a blissfully unaware Snorlax in your neighbour's prize cabbage patch, this could mean big financial trouble for Niantic – if players were to jump on their property that is.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, below are some of the pledges offered by the developers during the relief of this lawsuit.

"Upon complaints of nuisance or trespass and demands of the removal of a 'PokéStop' or 'Gym,' the company will make commercially reasonable efforts to resolve the complaint and communicate a resolution within 15 days.

"Owners of single-family residential properties get rights of removal within 40 meters of their properties."

They continued: "Niantic will maintain a database of complaints in an attempt to avoid poor placement.

"When Niantic's system detects a raid of more than 10 players congregating, a warning message will appear on their screens reminding them to be courteous and respectful of surroundings."
