The hottest game of last summer has fallen by the wayside in terms of user retention. Last summer it seemed like every city had Pok\u00e9mon on the brain, but by fall, the app\u2019s popularity had fallen. However, the Pok\u00e9mon Go era is not over yet. The following will discuss four updates to the app that could signal an upswing in its popularity. If you stopped playing the game last year, one of these exciting new updates may be exactly what you need to improve your Pok\u00e9mon Go experience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming Update: Shiny Event <\/b><\/p>\n

Players predict that Niantic, the maker of Pok\u00e9mon Go, is working on new \u201cshiny\u201d characters. What are these shiny characters? In the first release of these characters, they were special, difficult-to-catch Magikarp and Gyarados. Players suggest that the update might be coming soon because Pok\u00e9mon are behaving the same way they were before that previous update: \u00a0Niantic changed Pok\u00e9mon encounters. They were different before the first shiny release to make it harder for players to fake their locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming Update: The Mysterious \u201cBig Event\u201d <\/b><\/p>\n

Niantic recently rolled out an Easter \u201cEggstravaganza\u201d event that lasted through April 20. While that event was a hit, the company\u2019s general manager teased a bigger event for the app, saying that he hoped users would keep an eye on the events. As for what Niantic meant by this tease, users are speculating that the \u201cbig event\u201d could introduce functions that users have wanted like raids and player trading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Upcoming Update: Legendary Creatures Update <\/b><\/p>\n

Another mysterious tease from Niantic: CEO John Hanke said that players could expect to see more legendary creatures added to the game \u201cthis year.\u201d These legendary creatures include popular Pok\u00e9mon animals like Mew, Zapdos, Lugia, and Articuno.<\/span><\/p>\n

Recent Update: New Creatures and Features Update <\/b><\/p>\n

Recently, Pok\u00e9mon Go added 80 new characters from the Pok\u00e9mon Gold and Silver video games. If you\u2019re familiar with the video games, you\u2019ll know that the new creatures added were originals found in the \u201cJohto\u201d region of the video game universe. <\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the new characters, Niantic also added new features. For example, Pok\u00e9mon now react differently than they used to when players try to engage with them. Additionally, Pok\u00e9mon that players find in the Kanto region can evolve to play in the Johto region, too. Finally, new berries were introduced, as well: the Nanab Berry slows Pok\u00e9mon down, while the Pinap Berry doubles the amount of Candy received in the next catch.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
