Confinement measures from Pokémon GO

Pokémon GO has decided to stay home. Although the purposes for which it was created were not those, from the game, they have wanted to join the cause in order to continue maintaining the confinement, but in turn continue to entertain their Pokémon trainers. To do this, they have developed a series of changes for the benefit of users who this time have to play from home.

News has already been seen from Madrid, where the confinement had just begun, a 77-year-old man skipped it to go out in search of new members of his Pokédex.

This time, it is not necessary to leave the house to continue developing actions within the game thanks to the improvements in distance ranges.

Pokeparadas and gyms within reach of your home.

Since the game based on augmented reality, they have modified the distance parameters and now you can perform actions from your home, since the interaction distances have been improved from the game so that the game is easier and more entertaining, without the need to leave on the street. You will be able to interact with poképaradas and gyms closest to your location.

• In poképaradas it will not take as long to wait to interact in them thanks to the improvement in the time parameters.
• In the case of gyms, the time parameters have also been modified and you will have to wait much less to interact in them, it will be easier to join the Time of the Incursion thanks to its modifications and new developed elements.

The Raid Hour, in times of pandemic.

One of the first measures that Pokémon GO took was to cancel the Raid Time, the time that has become a social event among users of the game could pose a risk encouraging users to go out into the street in a pandemic.

Raid, the time when you could find legendary and unique Pokémon in Poképaradas, motivated many users to join the battles at the locations marked in the game.
But now it has changed, since Pokémon GO have launched a series of temporary measures so that users can continue to interact in raids without having to leave home. Users will be able to acquire Remote Raid Passes for a Pokécurrency, so they can fight from their homes. With improved distance parameters and Raid passes, anyone can join the closest Raid or can be tapped on the game map.

The mechanics of the Raids will not be affected, the battles will work as usual, with a maximum of 20 trainers in the Raid, joining forces together to defeat the legendary Pokémon.

From Pokémon GO have also announced that these measures will be changed as the confinement is lifted, since the main objective of the game is the movement of users on the street so that it is not a static game.

Benefits in the durability of special products:

It is another measure to make the time that users stay connected to the game more entertaining. You will no longer have to wait for him to consume any of the objects used such as Incenses, Star Chunks or Lucky Eggs. The effect can now be stacked up to 200 times maximum and its durability has been increased.
It is also not necessary that we spend one by one the Candy or Star Powders to give more power to our Pokémon. Since we can select the quantity to be able to carry out the action at once.

With all these innovations in the Pokémon GO game we see many of the changes that the trainers have been requesting for a while.
Investigations such as the new Return Challenge 2020, which is recovering many of the previous players who needed a little more entertainment. It offers a new experience, a walk through the regions developed in the game where you will be able to see and capture Pokémon even from the Pokémon Blue edition.
New interactions and above all help to make users aware of a 'stay at home' to continue with a confinement without altercations. Although as the confinement is lifted they will remove some of the new additions, although they announced that many of the changes have come to stay and continue to develop the Pokémon community.
