Niantic announced back in September that Pokemon GO players had walked more than 4.6 billion kilometers since its mobile game launched. The company has now shared a new wave of stats.

As of December 7, Pokemon GO players have walked over 8.7 billion kilometers collectively. To put it in perspective, that’s more than 200,000 trips around Earth. Over 88 billion Pokemon were also caught during that period. Niantic says it amounts to about 533 million Pokemon a day.

Niantic is in the process of rolling out a new Pokemon GO update. Like usual, fans are picking it apart in hopes of making some interesting discoveries. The Silph Road now appears to have found evidence of a potential holiday event / items.

First, graphic assets have been added which look a lot like presents or gifts. File names for these are tiered from Bronze to Gold and then with variants for Special, Great, and Ultra. The Silph Road also points out that a metadata attribute named “HasHolidayItems” is showing in relation to the shop, and a variant of the shop button has appeared:

We’ll have to see if anything comes of this. If we do hear anything, we’ll let you know,

9to5Mac is reporting that Niantic is scrapping plans to bring Pokemon GO to Apple Watch. When it was originally shown in September, the app was apparently an “unfinished port.”

Niantic is thus far not officially commenting on whether Pokemon GO has been cancelled for Apple Watch. However, one user claims to have heard from the company in a customer support email response that plans have ceased, though “if demand for an Apple Watch port increases, we will continue development of a port.”

Niantic added the first few Pokemon from the series’ second generation this week. One of these was Togepi. Reports are now beginning to surface that the Pokemon’s evolution, Togetic, can be obtained as well.

Twitter user Kellyffsweden has shown various photos of having obtained Togetic. He writes that he hatched three Togepi eggs, and then managed to gather 50 candy to evolve Togepi.

Thanks to Jake and SwirlixFan for the tip.

Pokemon GO can be downloaded in most countries, but there’s one big territory still without access: India. However, on Wednesday, that will be changing.

Niantic is partnering with Reliance Jio on Pokemon GO’s arrival in India. Thousands of Reliance Digital Stores and select other partner premises will be PokeStops or Gyms. JioChat will also add an exclusive Pokemon GO channel so that players can socialize with others and level-up faster.

Niantic founder John Hanke said today:

“We are delighted to partner with Jio to launch Pokémon GO in India. It’s exciting to see Pokémon fans in India step out and explore their neighbourhoods in search of Pokémon and Jio’s disruptive high speed 4G LTE Network will be an excellent way to experience the game.”
