Pokemon Go iOS, Android: Everything to know about latest update from Niantic
The "Pokemon Go" app launched its latest update for IOS and Android users recently, the application is said to contain new features to provide a list of nearby Pokemon for easy tracking. The new features also give options by enabling players to identify a pokemon on the information statistics screen.
According to International Business Times the app was also said to provide notifications to trainers whenever a pokemon is at a specific pokespot. However, with the new features it failed to deliver the tracking system that was previously tested.
The tracking system evolved when Niantic Labs tested the feature in San Francisco before a month and a half. As stated by Forbes, it was supposed to enhance the sighting feature of "Pokemon Go" but certainly did not make it to the latest update.
But there are benefits like the bug fixes that come along with the latest update. An advantage of the update is the detailed information of the city, region and country where the pokemon was captured.
The other major feature will include in the update, giving the "Pokémon Go Plus Accessory" the ability to nab pokemon via the incense item. Niantic Labs further stated that they want to maintain a balance between the casual and advanced features in order to ensure both newcomers and experience players interested.
The capture feature might not be as big as it seems, but it is sure to interest the "Pokemon Go Plus Peripheral Users." The system specifically tells players where a pokemon is at the nearest pokespot, it indicated that if a player gets there in time the pokemon should be within the close radius of the pokespot.
Though there have been complaints of difficulty in capturing pokemon for rural players in Pokemon Go, this feature is sure to benefit players in the city or those with many pokespots nearby.
