‘Pokémon Go’ Updates: Release Date, E3 Q&A Event And Evolution Changes
Krezna de los ReyesAs the much awaited reality-augmented mobile game "Pokémon Go" release date is approaching, beta test news, rumors, and updated details have once again circulated the Internet.
While the beta-tests are currently happening in Japan, USA, and Australia, an information was leaked that a change has been made on the Pokémon evolution system. Normally, previous games allow players the ability to evolve their own Pokémon's through level advancement and "evolutionary shards."
Meanwhile, the information shared in Reddit revealed that the usual "evolutionary shards" will be replaced by candies that will be used to evolve a certain Pokémon, according to Comicbook.com.
Based on the example given, only Charmander candies can be used to evolve the Pokémon to Charmeleon and to eventually develop it into Charizard. Although some players were not satisfied with the new process, testers claimed that it's much easier compared to how the previous one works.
Furthermore, the developers will introduce a new item called "Stardust" for "Pokémon Go," which can be used to increase strength and HP. Beta-testers also revealed that it can be acquired in every Pokémon that a player can hatch or capture.
Aside from these updates, the gameplay still remains the same. Players have to explore and catch Pokémons, which they can trade and battle against other masters.
Niantic, Inc. requires their players to go out and locate Pokémons using the map, which can be either in the malls, sidewalks, parks or in other cities, reported by GameNGuide.
The interactive game will feature a customizable avatar for every player and the classic way of capturing the Pokémons similar to the animated series. Once they're notified on their smartphone, they need to release a Poke Ball in their device and aim the screen towards the Pokémon's direction to catch it.
For those fans who are excited to know more in-depth details, Nintendo has recently confirmed that they will have a "Pokémon Go" Q&A event during the E3 2016 on June 15 at 10 a.m. PT along with other release date information and update, according to Tech Advisor.
