PokeGo News & Updates

[inkstone]

Good morning, trainers!

• If Niantic continues to follow their schedule, the next nest change is set to happen later this week. If you have something good at your local nests, better hit them up soon! They might switch to something less than ideal. I say this as someone whose favorite local nest became a caterpie hotbed. Sigh. Maybe it'll become something good.


• It looks like Niantic updated the in-game map. Look around! You might find that there are new pokestops and gyms near you! (source)


• In more somber news, a 60-year-old grandfather was shot and killed by a security guard while playing PokeGo. The guard claims it was in self-defense, but it's hard to imagine the exact circumstances that would necessitate shooting a man through the windshield of his van when he was likely fighting a PokeGo gym. It's an unfortunate reminder that in these uncertain times, every trainer needs to be careful and that not only should they be aware of their surroundings, they also need to be mindful of the impression that they're giving. Take it from someone who's definitely abandoned an early morning gym battle when she saw a security guard in the vicinity. (source)

What's going on in your neck of the woods, trainers?
