Pokemon GO stat rebalance to go live later today
Posted on 6 years ago by Devin(@Sonicb00m111) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Developer Niantic has confirmed that the anticipated stat and CP rebalance that had previously been announced last month will be integrated into Pokemon GO later today at 4 PM ET.
It is expected that these changes will alter the CP of a given Pokemon through the buffing of both their Hit Points as well as Defense stats. This change has already been implemented with the Generation 4 Pokemon that have been added to the game, so the rebalance should only effect Pokemon from Generations 1 through 3.

Niantic CEO wants Pokemon GO to more closely resemble first trailer, have it always be a part of your life
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
One of the many reasons why people were initially excited about Pokemon GO was thanks to its first trailer. A number of neat things were shown in that video, such as a greater tie in with augmented reality and a big group of players battling Mewtwo in Time Square. If Niantic CEO John Hanke has its way, Pokemon GO will more closely resemble the trailer in the future.
Niantic CEO John Hanke appeared on stage with Epic Games chief executive officer Tim Sweeney for a chat at the Samsung Developer Conference 2018 earlier today. Hanke mentioned that the company wants to take advantage of improved technology, including deep learning, 5G networks, and better hardware. By doing so, Pokemon GO could be more like its debut trailer.
Also during the chat, Hanke said that Niantic wants Pokemon GO to be something that is always a part of your life rather than something you play for a bit. One of the first steps towards that is the new Adventure Sync functionality in which the game synchronizes with health apps that count your real life steps. Players can then progress and hatch Pokemon Eggs more quickly.
