Nov 25, 2016 By

Right in time for thanksgiving, Niantic has released the update that everyone that plays Pokemon Go has been demanding from a long time. The app is getting bake its original nearby tracking feature which was removed and the decision has come under immense scrutiny by the public. The new feature is working extremely well, with the feature the players are able to check the list of Pokemon in their own proximity along with the PokeStop photo to which the Pokemon is the closest. This is the only slight change to the Pkoemon tracking feature otherwise it does what it is supposed to do.

The thing is that the tracker is only made available in selected locations so players might not be able to update in the meantime. According to Niantic, the update will be available for everyone on the west of the Mississippi river in the United States with the two exceptions of Alaska and Hawaii. In Canada, the update will be available in Manitoba, Alberta, Saskatchewan, British Columbia and the western half of Ontario. It will be available for all the states of Australia. There has been no further official information as to when will the update be available for the rest of the locations. The decision was solely based on the disappointed players’ feedbacks. The next logical step for Niantic Would be to release the latest update for Pokemon Go in the rest of the locations.

This update will be a sigh of relief for the players who want to catch a Ditto. Up until now Ditto has been a real headache for the players to get their hands on. Ditto does not appear as itself, instead it takes the form of Rattata, Pidgey, Zubat and quite possibly other Pokemons as well. Now because of this, the players had to catch all the Pokemons in order to find Ditto, but now they will be able to see is Ditto is anywhere near or not.

What The New Pokemon Go Update Brings You

Oct 16, 2016 By

For all of you Pokemon Go trainers still going strong, the developers at Niantic are hard at work bringing out updates to make their mobile hit a more robust offering. With gyms getting the most recent attention via update, it sounds like multiplayer battles could be in the not-too-distant future, too. Pokemon Go has been on something of a roller coaster ride since its initial launch this past summer. When the game first arrived, it seemed like there were more people in this world playing the game than weren’t. You’d see hordes of folks making their way around town with smartphones in hand, eagerly trying to add another Pokemon to their growing collection.

If a gym is owned by your team, you can train there and make your team stronger. If it’s owned by a rival team, you can launch an attack on the gym in an attempt to take it over for your own team. The problem with gyms in the past was that it was only available for one Pokemon per gym. So if you wanted to take down every Pokemon in it, your chances were pretty slim. With the next update to Pokemon Go, up to six players will be able to train at once, which should help keep things nice and fair.

Also a nice touch is that, if you’re training weaker Pokemon, the gym’s occupants might be temporarily lowered in  level in order to make a more even match. That should ensure better training for all players of Pokemon Go. We’re happy to hear Niantic is working so hard to keep adding functionality onto Pokemon Go. It was clearly a launching point from the beginning, with more ways to enjoy the game planned to be bolted on along the way. Once we get some trading and online battling rolling, the game will be well on its way to living up to what many Pokemon Go fans expected in the first place.

Pokemon Go Now Available On Apple Watch

Sep 9, 2016 By

Thanks to the leaks and rumors that typically emerge months before Apple’s high-profile product unveilings, it’s easy to argue the company’s events no longer have any surprises in store. Indeed, most of the big announcements at Wednesday’s iPhone 7 launch — its improved camera, its water resistance, its lack of a headphone jack — were pretty much known before things got underway in San Francisco. Yet there were two announcements that nobody saw coming: Super Mario’s debut on the iPhone and Pokemon Go’s launch on the Apple Watch.

Mario’s arrival on the iPhone is a sign that Nintendo is getting serious about smartphones as it faces tough times with its own hardware. The latter, meanwhile, is an especially smart move that takes advantage of both the Apple Watch’s capabilities and Pokemon Go’s unique gameplay. But right now, there’s no way to integrate the game’s walking data into the various iPhone health apps that can tell you about the number of steps you’ve taken or the calories you’ve burned throughout the day. The Pokemon Go Apple Watch app addresses this by letting you log gameplay as a workout, integrating a calorie counter directly into the experience. For a game that requires players to move around, and given Apple’s recent focus on healthcare, this seems like an obvious addition.

Meanwhile, the Apple Watch app should help keep Pokemon Go players more alert, cutting down on headlines about gamers wandering into traffic or crashing into poles. Users will be alerted when Pokemon are nearby waiting to be caught, while they can also grab in-game gear from special real-world locations called PokéStops without opening their phone. It’s a prime example of the promise of smartwatch apps: Done well, they can free us up from feeling like we need to constantly keep our faces glued to our phones. (For those without an Apple Watch, the company behind the Pokemon Go is also working on a game-specific accessory with similar benefits.)

Jul 24, 2016 By

After all, in the birth of the country itself, the test would actually be proved. The way the people in this country with the game, will be the actual yardstick to measure the worth of the game on the Internet.

Pokemon go have been able to get almost 7.5 million across the world. We can only imagine what kind of sxs Japanese people might have provided to the game. In Japan the game has not just been launched for people’s, there has been special tie UPS with McDonalds the huge restaurant chain comma which has designated 400 office restaurants in Japan out of a total of 2900 asgyms for players to catch Pokemon xand battles with each other with their smartphones.

Pokemon Go Responsible for Two Accidents in San Diego; It’s Time We Separated reality From Augmented Reality:

Jul 21, 2016 By

Pokemon go has made the headlines yet again. Just like you have been hearing news of people walking into strange places while playing this game, you may be shocked to hear that Pokemon go has unintentionally become the chief reason why do people happened to fall off a cliff in san diego.

When the news for First heard, the actual reason for the next half was not published point it seems that the San Diego oceanside clip is quite a place for people to slide off now and then. The rescue teams are generally on the top of the game and happen to do a good job as they have done this time. But the real question is not only whether the people have won a life or death. The real reason behind all this conundrum is because the reason why they fell off the Cliff is because they were playing Pokemon go.

The shocking Revelations really kept people wondering whether Pokemon is really safe to play outside the house or not, but not many people have paid attention yet. The fire department in the area happens to find one off the victims almost 80 to 90 Feet down left left on the beach while the other day around 50 feet down but he was unconscious. Both these people were taken to the nearest hospital scripps La jolla Hospital. The new source was not ready to disclose any further about the amount of injuries these people has faced and whether they would be able to go back to the normal life anytime soon. Such a huge fall from a cliff when you are completely unaware of what is in front of you might have taken them by surprise and must have dulledtheir reflexes so they couldn’t have broken the fall.

Or not using Notary would like to add that no matter how interesting the game is, you must not came while you are on the road. Pay attention to your surrounding and never play the game when you are walking on the streets are playing in a dangerous area or in any dangerous situation.

Nintendo and McDonalds could be coming together to encash the popularity of the Pokemon Go game:

Jul 18, 2016 By

Strangers this may sound, it is true that Nintendo and McDonalds would be using the Pokemon Go game to generate more revenue for Each Other. This joint revenue could have been inspired only because Pokemon go happened to be one of the top selling games just within a week of its launch. A 7.5 billion dollar mark was a difficult targets to have met so easily and that true within a few days. But this has only get aborted the Pokemon go makers to a zone where only more success awaits them.

Nintendo and McDonalds us drawing app iPad in which apparently they wants to introduce the concept of PokeStop. That’s right, Pokemon stop is in its early planning stages and it is obvious that various others big entities that needs to come up with an interesting marketing strategy could have approached Nintendo the same way that McDonalds did point it would be simple. The pokemons would be made available at any of the outlets and that would serve as a strategy for those who are on the Pokemon cocaine. It may also come up with coupon for offers for those who are currently active players. However, there have been certain sources who have trained that when the game’s metadata was decoded it was found that only those who have applied for a sponsorship can get access to this feature. So we might now be looking at the chances wherein they might be money involved for accessing These areas. It doesn’t really mean that those who walked into the restaurant in May view the catering services but chances are pretty hard that they will.

Pokemon go in itself is a very unique concept. The marketing strategies that come with it have been beneficial for both Nintendo and McDonalds. At the moment nothing more has been disclosed about when this feature is going to be available over the this feature is actually going to be made available or not, but we can say that Pokemon go has really changed the way we look at Augmented reality.
