While today’s big news with Pokemon GO was in our previous article about the new tracking system that is available to players in San Francisco, and soon everyone worldwide, that isn’t the only news regarding the popular game. In fact there are a few other tidbits that are fairly important as well.

While everyone gets to enjoy the newly added Grass in Pokemon GO thanks to the update, it appears that players residing in San Francisco got a different update, making it more of a location-locked one. In this update Niantic has quietly added a new Pokemon tracking system which they are hoping will replace the old in-game radar and footprint method.
Pokemon GO has already received another update, making this the second within a week’s time. This particular update brings a variety of tweaks that enhance the gameplay a bit more, and instead of the in-game radar returning, we got ourselves some grass instead.
With thanks to this Kickstarter campaign, episode 2 of the Bertram Fiddle franchise is being released onto the Android platform this Fall. Set in Victorian London, this episode revolves around Bertram having been framed (again) for a murder that he didn’t commit.
Pokemon GO may still have some issues that need to be fixed, but that hasn’t stopped millions of players for loading the game up daily and playing it. Pokemon GO leagues, tournaments, and events have already been taking place in all kinds of locations, and we are actually hosting one of them ourselves this weekend.
As you probably are already well aware of, Telltale Games has a new Batman themed series in the works which is pretty much ready for launch. In fact it has already made its way to PC via Steam, the PS4 using the Playstation Network, and the Xbox One via Xbox Live Game Store as of yesterday. Originally, the global launch for the first episode of this new series was supposed to be for all platforms yesterday, but that seems to have changed slightly.
Released by UPgames, Shadow Clicker is a new idle clicking game for the Android platform. In Shadow Clicker, players are looking to save their world from dark forces that are hell-bent on conquering it. You will use the simple mechanic of tapping in order to do battle with, and hopefully defeat, the hordes of monsters, as well as other functions such as opening chests and collecting treasure.
If you play Pokemon GO then you already know that for what seems like forever, the in-game radar system has been completely botched. Part of it was removed and they rest of it bugged out, or something along those lines. Whatever the case may be, it resulted in what is now known as the 3-step bug, which is where every Pokemon, no matter how close they are, appear in the game’s remaining radar features as being the max distance away.
Pokemon GO can become a bit of a grind if you’re trying to level up quickly. There are a few tips and tricks you can do in order to make it a little less of a grind, at least until Niantic scales the XP given to a player when capturing a Pokemon better. Right now you get the same XP regardless of level, which makes leveling up at higher levels a little on the slow side.
There’s a lot of people Pokemon GO right now, and this probably won’t change anytime soon either. Unfortunately, in order to play this game you need to have it running, along with your Location/GPS going, and of course, you yourself need to be keeping an eye on everything going on in the game. This may not seem like a lot, but when you’re running around hunting Pokemon while doing other activities, you tend to miss capturing some of them.
