The global pandemic definitely changed how Pokémon GO players could experience the game, interact with family and friends and enjoy the game content as they used to. Most gameplay came to a halt in 2020 when many countries were forced to lockdown, had various restrictions on specific times and places for where they could go outdoors. A lot of Pokémon GO requires outdoor movement and interaction with different players, but as we rise from the global pandemic and have grasped slightly more freedom, we are able to try and enjoy the game a little more with exciting updates to look forward to.
Niantic goes into further detail with exactly what they plan to do throughout the next few months and honestly speak to their fans about the changes they will make to the app and explain what the update bonuses will include.
Here’s what they’ve announced so far:
- There will be new exploration bonuses that make gameplay more rewarding when exploring outdoors. That includes playing at in-person raids, bonuses for spinning stops raids and of course, racking up those steps.
- The bonuses that were introduced the year before is what they plan to either change or remove, as first tested in the United States and New Zealand tested, then will be followed by other regions based on their local conditions.
- The bonuses Niantic introduced the year before is what they planning on keeping, which includes: Go Battle League and Trainer Battle requirements, the ‘first catch of the day bonuses and more.
Playing together in the real world have new exploration bonuses as well!
They will be starting at the end of July 2021, the exploration bonuses will first be tested by trainers in the United States and Newzealand. Trainers will:
- Receive one or two free Raid Passes each day from spinning the Gym Photo Discs.
