A look at Pokemon GO’s new driving warning
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 5 Comments
When you’re driving, you shouldn’t be playing Pokemon GO. Niantic wants to make that clear with a new warning that can now be issued following today’s new update.
If you’re going too fast, you may see the notice appear. It’s a basic warning which asks users not to play and drive. You’ll need to tap “I’m a passenger” in order to continue playing. That seems pretty fair!

Pokemon GO’s new update replaces “Nearby” feature with “Sightings”
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 6 Comments
Update: Now that we have slightly more extensive patch notes, here’s what Niantic has to say about Sightings officially:
“We’re currently testing a variation of the ‘Nearby Pokemon’ feature with a subset of users. During this period you may see some variation in the nearby Pokemon UI.”
There’s another aspect of today’s Pokemon GO update not included in Niantic’s official patch notes (version 0.33.0). After applying the update, you should see that the “Nearby” feature has been replaced as “Sightings”. Nearby was removed entirely with version 1.1.0 / 0.31.0.
How Sighting actually works is unclear. Some players have been messing around with it for a bit though, and their reports may offer up some clues as to how it functions.
Pokemon GO seems to scan the area around you roughly every 15 seconds. If a new Pokemon spawns, it’ll be added to the Sighting lists. If it goes away, it’ll be removed. Those who move too far away from a Pokemon will see it disappear. Apparently the distance is roughly 700 feet.
Keep in mind that this information is entirely unofficial at the moment.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Update: We now have slightly more extensive patch notes – see below.
Pokemon GO’s latest update (version 1.3.0 / 0.33.0) is starting to go live. It’s a bit more involved than the last one, as Niantic has addressed a bug with XP bonuses and the battery saver mode has returned on iOS. Additionally, there’s now a driver warning as well as the ability to change your nickname once.
Currently, the update is available on Android. The same patch should be up for iOS users very shortly.
Head past the break for the official patch notes.

Original (8/2): If you’d like to catch up on some Nintendo Power nostalgia, you may want to visit a new section of the Internet Archives. Over 140 issues are now up on the website, starting with the very first magazine in 1988 up until mid-2001. You can check out the full selection here.
