First thing is first, I am a former Ingress player. Second thing is that I used to play Ingress. I still do, but I used to too.
This Pokémon Go craze has made me realize a few things and perhaps I can use my Ingress knowledge to help you guys understand Niantic (the company behind Ingress; Pokémon Go; Ingress).
Now before I use that knowledge to help you, first you must understand how I got that knowledge.
I am a former Ingress player. Therefore I know a lot about Ingress as a former Ingress player. Pokémon Go uses a lot of Ingress's technology. A term former ingress players use to describe this technology is Ingress Technology.
Ingress came out in 2013 and Pokémon Go was released this year. Since Ingress' release I have become a former Ingress player. It is important to know this because that way you can understand two things.
1.I was a former Ingress player
2.I am a former Ingress player
3.Ingress

I hope this helps you guys further understand things about Pokémon Go and me, a former ingress player.
