Sprint and Next Gen Pokemon Launch on December 12, 2016!!

Game Announcements, Pokemon GO

Sprint and Niantic have struck a partnership that promotes Sprint’s network and provides additional Poke Stops and Pokemon Gym’s at Sprint’s 10,500 locations in the US.  Tucked within the Sprint announcement today Niantic reveals new experiences and in-game events before the end of 2016!  Tucked within this update is a rather quiet line of news referencing December 12, 2016 announcement for “new Pokemon” being added into Pokemon Go!  Could this be our next-gen launch date?  Certainly seems so!

The Sprint announcement details a special experience being added to Sprint’s locations around the US.  Sprint and their affiliates (Boost and Sprint at Radioshack stores) will become gyms and Pokestops!  Seems nothing unique to those locations as Niantic says that it provides more locations to get the usual Poke balls and Razz Berries specifically. This announcement also provides some information on what trainers can expect if the partnership with Starbucks being rumored is also true.

 

Ditto Official – PokemonGo’s new Rare addition

Game Announcements, Pokemon GO, PokemonGO, PokemonGO Extreme Fans

Niantic has officially confirmed the release of the rare Ditto Pokemon into the game via an update post and video.  In the video you see what would happens when you catch a normal Pokemon only to get the special music and see Ditto pop up!  As the social media account have shown Ditto has been being caught by Trainers across the globe, but the post shares some neat details on Ditto especially where Gyms are concerned.

Ditto can be used in Gyms to train or battle Ditto will copy both the appearance and attacks of the first Pokemon it encounters.  This has some intereresting ramifications for battle.  Lets say I start my battle with a Pidgey then beat Ditto with the weak attacks then switch to a stronger more powerful one?  Guess further training and battling will show what happens when Ditto is being used or battle/trained against.

Looks like we have another update from Niantic!  They’ve been very active and promising (let’s hope delivering soon) quite a few things since the highly successful Halloween event.  This time we are being told that the testing for the “nearby feature” is being expanded to all of San Fransisco, and now parts of Arizon and Seattle area of Washington State.  While this is promising it would be great if they opened up an it more to 3rd party apps in the interim. 

PokemonGo Nest Migration Number 6!

Today’s news from PokemonGo is the completion of the 6th Pokemon “nest migration.”  As all players should know by now nests are spawns of the same Pokemon’s occurring at the same place.  For the last few months Niantic have pushed nest migrations to mix up the Pokemon, provide more variety, and keep players guessing.  With yesterday’s announcement of a forth coming update to add daily bonuses “very soon” it seems Niantic is keeping their foot on the gas to win back and keep players!

These “secret” nest migrations change the types of Pokemon that typically spawn at the nest.  The same “nest” that spawned Magikarp, for example, now spawns different Pokemon.  In our own testing we can confirm more Polliwags, Paras, Oddish, and Krabby’s than seen previously at our normal location, however no real “rares” of any merit to report.  The folks over at PokemonGohub indicate the nest migration occurred November 2nd, 2016.

This reddit thread provides additional details and encourages reports that confirm the nest migration as well as the new Pokemon types that are appearing in the nests.  It appears by the reports on that thread that this migration has added to “increased biodiversity” which simply means more variety to the nest spawns and often times increasing the chance to catch rare Pokemon.

To add your own reports on what’s spawning at your favorite Pokemon nests head over to  the Nest Atlas at The Silph Road .  You can sign up and add your own reports to help identify what new Pokemon are spawning at your local nests!

PokemonGo Daily Bonuses coming soon!

Game Announcements, Game Info, game info, Pokemon GO, PokemonGO, PokemonGO Extreme Fans, Uncategorized

PokemonGo is due to receive another update called “Daily Bonus” giving players another reason to play the highly addictive game!  Fresh off the heels of the highly successful Halloween event that we wrote about earlier,  Niantic says an update that is “coming soon” will provide daily bonuses based on daily game play and visiting Pokestops!

It’s a very simple approach:  Catch a Pokemon or visit a Pokestop daily to get bonuses!!!!  Catch a Pokemon everyday you gets you 500XP and 600 Stardust.  Catch a Pokemon 7 days straight gets you 2000XP and 2,400 Stardust.  Hit a Pokestop daily and get 500XP and a “number of additional items.”  Visiting the same PokeStop 7 days in a row gets you 2000XP and a “greater number of additional items” (LOL).  The more consistent you are everyday the better the loot!  The bonuses period start at 12am local time.

What do you think too little too late or too much too soon?
