Pokemon Go Legendary Pokemon Making First Appearance This Weekend

Pokemon Go Legendary Pokemon Making First Appearance This Weekend

, , , , , 0

Although Niantic had previously suggested that players would get the chance to catch rare monsters at the upcoming Pokemon Go Fest, the developer has now revealed that those Pokemon will be legendaries. The game has been out for more than a year and despite a whole host of new features and Pokemon being added to the game, legendary creatures have so far not been available to catch through legitimate means. With player numbers waning compared to their launch height, it seems sensible for the studio to add the rare monsters into the game in order to capture attention. The method of acquiring a legendary Pokemon will not be easy. It will depend on those attending the festival to succeed in their own unique raid. If they do, the unidentified legendary will start appearing on other random gyms, requiring players to work together in raids to capture their own. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to leave any captured legendary at a gym to battle for you as it would seem this

Pokemon GO Gyms To Change

Pokemon GO Gyms To Change

, , , 1

Pokemon GO nails the feeling of being a Pokemon trainer in many ways. You have to walk around to get Pokemon, you have a partner Pokemon travel with you, there are other trainers in the world, etc. However, the one major way it’s not like a regular Pokemon game or like the Pokemon anime is that the Gym Battles don’t resemble anything like their counterparts. In the game, Gyms are constantly changing their owners, but, you don’t have to be active in the game to lose your gym, and the battles themselves are very linear. At GDC, Developer Niantic spoke with Polygon and admitted that the Gym Battles have to change. “The gym portion [of Pokémon Go] needs a lot more work, and we are trying to improve it and make a bigger change to how the system works,” says Nomura. “Overall, I think we need a little bit more time to think through how we do it.” “We needed to define [gyms] in a way that works in a

Pokémon Go: Trading Will Be Limited To Local Players

Pokémon Go was all the rage not too long ago, with its popularity rapidly decreasing once the craze ran its course. That’s not to say that the game is dead, however, just that it’s not even half as popular as it was in its heyday not too long ago. However, developer Niantic are looking to bring back a host of old players, and give something back to those who’ve remained loyal to the game, with a number of new features scheduled to be released. Chief among them is the ability to trade Pokémon with other players, something which is scheduled to be released in the not too distant future. Now, senior product manager Tatsuo Nomura has opened up a little bit more about trading in Pokémon Go. Speaking to Polygon at the Games Development Conference, he said that trading will have to be done with local players, saying: “[Trading] won’t be through the internet. You shouldn’t be able to exchange your Pokémon with someone who is 100 miles away from

Pokemon GO continues to grow, and with the addition of Johto Pokemon, it doesn’t seem to be stopping anytime soon. Now though, in light of the arrival of Christmas and New Year’s, Niantic is getting even more into the holiday spirit with some special bonuses for Pokemon GO players. Mainly the chance to get new Pokemon via Egg Hatching, which will be not only increased during the week of Christmas, but players will be granted one-time incubators every day for every PokeStop they go to. Niantic revealed the whole deal in a blog post: “Don’t miss out on an increased chance to hatch a Togepi (and other Pokémon)! Starting the morning of December 25, 2016, and through the afternoon of January 3, 2017 (PST), PokéStops will award one single-use Incubator each day after your first Photo Disc spin. As you visit PokéStops during this time period, there will be a greater chance of finding Eggs that hatch Togepi, Pichu, and several other recently found Pokémon, originally discovered in the Johto

After several new Pokemon were released into Pokemon Go earlier this year, developer Niantic has revealed that some of the creatures from the Johto region are now available to hatch from eggs as well as be caught in the wild. Specifically, both Togepi and Pichu can be hatched from eggs, in addition to a special edition version of Pikachu that is wearing a Christmas-themed hat. This special Pokemon will only be available until December 29. Meanwhile, Niantic has also announced that Pokestops will be offering players some extra items through the holiday period to help spread some festive cheer. Until January 3, every Pokemon will award a single-use incubator in addition to the usual random assortment of items given to players. Togepi, Igglybuff, Cleffa, Smoochum, Elekid, Pichu, and Magby will all have their chances of hatching from eggs increased during this time. From December 30 to January 8, players will also have a better chance of catching any of the original starter Pokemon and their evolved forms in the wild.

Pokémon GO: Ditto Is Confirmed In-Game

According to a post on the official Pokémon Company website, gamers are now discovering the unique Pokemon Ditto in the Pokémon GO mobile game for the first time. According to the website, Ditto is a Pokemon unlike any other, with its curiously blobby shape and its ability to mimic the look and abilities of other Pokemon.” The site suggested players start searching throughout their neighborhood to try and find Ditto. However, now the existence of Ditto in the game has been officially confirmed by The Pokemon Company. Earlier this week, Gamespot reported that multiple people started voicing that Ditto was appearing and catchable in Pokémon GO. The trick is that Ditto actually masquerades as other Pokemon creatures. In other words, you only know you’ve caught Ditto after you’ve caught other Pokemon, and it reveals that you’ve caught a Ditto. The report indicated that the Ditto phenomenon is most commonly occurring in the two kilometer egg group, such as Spearow and Magikarp and other generation one starter Pokemon. Others have claimed that

While Pokemon Go may have lost some of the initial hype that it had when it first released, it still continues to be played by millions of people around the world. To help keep those legions of users happy, Niantic is set to make life slightly easier for them with a brand new update. Speaking on the Pokemon Go website, the development team outlined how the latest update, which will arrive in the near future, will make catching rarer Pokemon less difficult than it has been so far. The new system will essentially make use of the badges that are already included in the app. Badges that are awarded for catching certain types of Pokemon will not make catching any Pokemon of that type easier. “Trainers can work their way to a new tier by catching many Pokémon of the same type. If a Pokémon has multiple types, your bonus will be the average of your bonuses for each type. For example, Pidgey is both Normal and Flying type. Your

Although Pokemon Go has become one of the most popular games of all time since its release several weeks ago, there are still several issues that have frustrated players. One particularly irksome problem was the fact that team leaders didn’t seem to have any role to play. However, that is set to change with the latest update, with developer Niantic revealing that the team leaders will have a dedicated role from now on. According to the studio, Candela, Blanche, and Spark will now work with a system called “Implemented Pokemon Appraisal.” This essentially means that when going into battle at gyms a leader will give you a breakdown of the opposition and give you a rundown of the best of your own Pokemon to use in the fight. The update is currently rolling out across both iOS and Android and should be available for all markets by the end of the week.

Pokémon Go Banned in Iran

It seems not everyone in the world likes or wants to catch Pokemon. Well, there is one country in the world that cannot enjoy a popular mobile app. According to a report by Digital Spy, Pokémon Go has been banned in another country due to “security concerns.” The popular augmented reality mobile app was banned by the High Council of Virtual Spaces out of “security concerns.” Not much other information was reported besides that reasoning. Other computer platforms that are also banned in Iraq include YouTube, Facebook and Twitter. Whether Iran’s concerns or valid or not, in the past, the developer of the app, Niantic Labs, has come out and denied that the app can access user e-mails. Filmmaker Oliver Stone has also been a critical opponent of the mobile game. At Comic-Con, South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone had a good joke about Pokemon Go. In regards to some other changes that were recently made to the app that caused controversy, Niantic Labs blocked third-party tracking apps

During the South Park 20th Anniversary special at San Diego Comic Con, a fan asked co-creator Trey Parker about whether the upcoming season would spoof the now mega popular Pokemon GO. Parker had a very interesting reply: “What’s really funny, people keep telling us about this Pokemon Go thing and asking if we’re going to do something on that and I’m like ‘We did, in 1999!’” He’s referring to “Chinpokomon”, an episode in the third season of the series, during which the kids of South Park were buying dolls equipped with chips that “could track where the kids were,” sending their info back to Japan with the ultimate goal of controlling America and bombing Pearl Harbor. Which in fact sounds like Pokemon GO in the chips and tracking aspect. He even joked, “I’m like ‘they ripped off our f-ing thing!’”

Pokemon Go has just launched in Japan alongside a massive McDonald’s sponsorship deal but millions of players around the world are still trying to get as much information about the game – specifically about the legendary Pokemon such as Mewtwo, Mew, and the legendary birds. With speculation about exactly how to unlock these rare monsters and other features flooding forums and communities around the web, Pokemon Fortress have datamined the game to discover a host of previously unknown information. Obviously, it’s important to not take everything from the data as gospel, as Niantic could easily change any of it with updates at any time, but it is the best source of knowledge we have on the game so far. One of the most interesting finds from the datamine is that the level cap for Pokemon Go is set at 40 for the time being. This will mean players have to get 20 million experience to reach the cap and will need 5 million just to go from 39 to 40.
