Niantic Labs accepting applications for new PokeStops and Pokemon Gyms
After you capture a Pokemon you can level up by earning experience points. Given the number of odd PokeStops in Pokemon GO that have already been discovered, this could be extremely handy.
Hanke also touched on other elements of the AR game that can still be improved, such as the existing Gyms and Pokestops.
Of course, some of the joy found playing Pokemon GO is the ability to head out and find Pokemon in unusual locations.
If you can’t wait for Pokemon Go to be released in Thailand there are ways you can download Pokemon Go on Android and iOS. However, what type of partnership that may be is still unclear. The game’s current AR incarnation, which uses a mobile phone’s camera to simulate Pokemon interactions within the real-world, is a “great first step”, but Henke affirms that Niantic will be able to do much more in the future.
Two of the main features of Pokemon GO, other than catching Pokemon, are the PokeStops and the the gyms.
Given that Pokemon Go has added $16.3 billion to the market value of Nintendo in the past week, maybe we’ll see a rash of games trying to emulate that success. If the reports are something to go by, McDonald’s will soon become a place to catch Pokemon in the real world.
Massive downloads and daily users are due to the vast popularity of this one-of-a-kind game. Of course, when this was revealed many players thought they’d be making their very own Team Rocket, or some. If you just started playing Pokemon Go, the Pokemon will be shadowed and gray. You know, because they didn’t have enough customers to begin with.
So where do Niantic go next with this augmented reality-based, active real-world gaming concept that they’ve struck gold with? Within the players’ immediate surroundings are Pokestops and Pokegyms, which are placed at real-life memorials, restaurants, parks, churches, tourist attractions and more.
If you have been collecting eggs that can be located throughout the game, you can try to hatch the 10 KM eggs to gain a rare Pokemon.
