pokemon go

Pokémon GO developers, Niantic, have been infamous for poor changes and slow response since the games release. It finally looks like we're seeing a trend in a postive direction, but does it come too late?

Niantic is finally adding rewards for trainers that play the app every day, offering bonuses for catching pokemon and hitting pokestops daily.  

• Catching a Pokémon every day: 500 additional experience points and 600 stardust.
• Catching a Pokémon seven days in a row:  2,000 experience points and 2,400 stardust.
• Visiting a Pokéstop daily:  500 experience points and more items.
• Visiting a Pokestop 7 days in a row: 2,000 experience points and more items.

On top of this we're pleased to report that the once popular 3rd party Pokemon trackers are back up and running. We have no idea why Niantic saw fit to block these applications out in the first place, all they did was add to the excitement and scope of the game. 

A few weeks ago an anonymous group of inspired artists erected a giant Pikachu statue in New Orleans, as a landmark of sorts for the Pokémon GO fans to appreciate. Check out the following video, which explains why the statue was taken down:

The fact that they managed to get the actual singer is damn impressive. Bravo, dudes!

The child is paralyzed! It can't move!

I don't know. Would House of Card's Frank Underwood really invest any of his precious time in trying to catch 'em all? Or would he in fact just go full psycho-mode and commit all his time and resources to getting at least 1,000 Gyarados'? Probably the latter.

I guess...

This is how Pokemon Go should be. This is how Pokemon Go won't be. Sorry for the rubbish quality. No webm on cheezburger.

As relayed through a Facebook post this morning, the group wrote, “We have a new statue… though not sure for how long!”



The artist who created and installed this monument remains anonymous at this time. 

Players were pleasantly greeted with this hauntingly beautiful login screen as Pokemon GO launched the Halloween Event, which features the Ghastly evolution tree, Drowzee and Golbat.
