New Pokémon Go update for iOS and Android includes new features – TechTastic

Pokémon Go-developer Niantic Labs has today released a new update released for the iOS and Android version of the game. The update brings some minor improvements and bug fixes but without new features.

The most important change that this update for Pokémon Go, is that your phone does not begin to vibrate when there is absolutely no Pokémon in the area. This issue was a few weeks ago have noticed and Niantic said on 10 december at the height of the glitch, and today, this update corrects finally the annoying bug. Also writes Niantic that the update is a change in day and night mode for a better reflection of the current time of day on the location of the Trainer.

That is all what Niantic has officially announced, but as usual with every Pokémon Go-update, there are also a number of changes that are not publicly known, but hidden in the source code. So it became recently clear that there are Pokémon from the second generation to the game would be added and that certain monsters a theme would get because of the holidays.

The update of today has also been analyzed and The Silph Road did a number of interesting discoveries. The source code is a reference to the Apple Watch, which suggests that in the short term a Pokémon Go app appears for the smartwatch from Apple. This app was in september announced, however, we have since then not much heard of, although Niantic last week confirmed that the Apple Watch app is still in development.

There is in the code of the update, also a suggestion that avatars can be further personalized, with the option of gloves and socks to change. Similar code was also spotted in the latest updates and it seems that Niantic has plans to personalize your own avatar under strong hands. Finally, the studio of male and female Pokémon and shiny Pokémon.

The code seems to be no evidence that there is an event for christmas will be launched. Earlier this year, there were special Pokémon Go-events held for Halloween and Thanksgiving, both times there was an announcement made on the Wednesday before the holiday. We are still a day away from the Wednesday before christmas and in the update of today, nothing is yet revealed.

is it also the event that is currently going on, which players to the 29th of december, a Pikachu and Raichu with santa hat catch it. During Halloween and Thanksgiving, they were still rewarded with bonuses, such as a double amount of XP and Stardust.
