Pokemon Go Global Event Happening In Malaysia Leaks!


Whether you’ve already bred the ultimate Pokémon fighting machine, or are 50-plus hours into the game in a rat race effort to catch ’em all, you may have noticed the lack of True Gym Badge availability(the integral part of the Pokemon Go gameplay), but things are about to change as we have discovered leaked documents on Pokemon Global Events under the disguised name of PokeLegion. We have uncovered a classified video released by an Anonymous Source naming a one of the first few True Gym Badge event happening in all parts of the world, we found a Malaysian Event and its happening in 2016!

Check the video for more information or click on the link for direct YouTube reference! 

Increase your volume and size of the video for better view.


At the moment, all we have are the leaked images.



What we can take from this is that there are 8 countries that will participate in the Gym Battle Event, there will be 8 badges to acquire. The event is set to start on the 6th of November 2016. Location is unclear at the moment, but we are glad its in Selangor.


We further went on to find the owner of the PokeLegion Site and this is what we found! The owner of the site is apparently “GIOVANNI” himself.



Judging by the video and the secrecy of the project its gonna be one heck of a Global Badge Event.

Pokemon Trading, New Incense Types & Buddy Systems Coming Soon



Pokemon Go players on The Siplh Road may have data mined the game’s most recent update to leak some pretty important features. While not fully implemented, we can get a sense for how trades, legendaries and new increases will be leveraged.




Here’s what data hackers have found:

“trade_search,” 
“trade_offer,” 
“trade_response”  
“trade_result.” 

With these subsections in mind, it’s not too hard to imagine how the mechanic might actually work. It seems like players will be able to search for eligible trades or offer up one of their own Pokemon for an exchange. Offers are accompanied by responses and, if agreed, a trade result is cataloged for both trainers and Niantic to keep.



The one thing that remains to be seen is how the search feature will function. It could be accessible across regions to the entire Internet, or it might even be limited by distance. With this particular leak, there’s no way to know for sure.
Nearly as demanded as trading is the addition of legendary pokemon's into the gameplay.

 The update doesn’t show how these rare monsters will be found, but there is a solitary string for “activity_catch_legend_pokemon.” All this really tells us is that legendaries are being worked on and that there will be some kind of special animation or splash screen when the shinies have been captured.


Increase rejuvenation also seems to be in Pokemon Go’s future. Amongst the leaked findings, the new update carries ties to unused spicy, cool and floral varieties. Assumingly, spicy seems like it might be used to attract fire and electric types while cool could spawn water and ice. As for floral, that relates closest to bug and grass varieties.

There’s no indication of when the above features will be fully available, but the mining proves that Niantic is setting up a framework for each of them to be used. Trading was specifically mentioned shortly after the game launched, however what we know for sure for the upcoming update is the introduction of Buddy System.



Here's Niantic's official release on the forthcoming update;

Pokemon Go’s new update may be just around the corner, we anticipate September 5th - 7th 2016.

Pokemon Go is available now on Android and iOS.

Pokémon Go Update Available. Explains Which Monsters Are The Best.




How good are your Pokémon? Would you like an appraisal by an expert? Well, we don't have any of those. The best you'll get are some vague statements about stats from your virtual team leader in the new Pokémon Go update. Niantic totally promises it's working on more things, though.
Here's the changelog for the latest Pokémon Go update.

  • Implemented Pokémon Appraisal: Trainers will now be able to learn about a Pokémon’s attack and defense capabilities from their Team Leader (Candela, Blanche or Spark) to determine which of their Pokémon have the most potential for battle.
  • We are still working hard on several new and exciting features to come in the future of Pokémon GO.
  • Minor bot fixes
Let's take a moment to acknowledge that Niantic actually added a promise that it is working on new features in a changelog. That's not what a changelog is for. At any rate, the big addition this time is Pokémon appraisals, which you access from the menu button in the corner.

 Your team leader will tell you what up with your Pokémon, but it's really not very helpful. Appraisals are basically just a recitation of the Pokémon's stats and potential to be upgraded. The appraisals are sometimes rather disjointed, with one frame saying you need to improve your Pokémon and the next saying it has the best stats ever.

Permanent bands to players who violate terms of service! No Spoofing, No Bots, FairPlay Emphasized!

Article By The Verge
Game maker Niantic, the developer behind mobile sensation Pokémon Go, is now issuing permanent bans to players who violate its terms of service. Though TOS violations vary, these bans appear to be directed at cheaters who rely on GPS spoofing, bots, and other software techniques that allow Pokémon Go to be played beyond the realm of Niantic's design parameters. For instance, GPS spoofing lets you trick a smartphone into thinking you're located in a different country, allowing you to catch pokémon that may be more easily located in that area or restricted to certain regions. Bots, on the other hand, let you automate portions of the game.
In a note posted to its website this week, Niantic outlines violations of its TOS that can result in a permanent ban. "This includes, but is not limited to: falsifying your location, using emulators, modified or unofficial software and/or accessing Pokémon Go clients or backends in an unauthorized manner including through the use of third party software," the note reads. "Our goal is to provide a fair, fun and legitimate game experience for everyone. We will continue to work with all of you to improve the quality of the gameplay, including ongoing optimization and fine tuning of our anti-cheat system." The company includes a link to an appeal form for trying to reverse a ban if it was issued by mistake.
USING A 'POKÉMON GO' BOT MAY GET YOU PERMANENTLY BANNED
It's still unclear how Niantic is going about detecting the use of GPS spoofing, emulators, bots, and other hacks. A number of threads on Reddit's Pokémon Godeveloper community, where much of the discussion around these techniques takes place, have popped up in the last two days. It seems users cannot seem to lock down what exactly results in a ban and how Niantic's internal systems may be seeking out cheating behavior.
It appears users have been receiving various levels of bans for quite some time. But this new permanent ban has the community advising its members not to use third-party application programming interfaces (APIs). Many of the makers of the game's most popular APIs have been sent cease and desist letters from The Pokémon Company over the course of the last two weeks as well. So it appears the company is increasing its efforts to crackdown on the kind of Pokémon Go playing it deems unsavory. A spokesperson for Niantic declined to comment on permanent bans and directed The Verge to the appeal process note on its website.

Pokemon Go August Update Details!




Niantic has now revealed the patch notes for Pokmon Go update 0.33.0 on Android and 1.3.0 on iOS. They have fixed a few bugs and added a few things.

Niantic posted all of the patch notes via the official Pokemon Go Facebook page. The update is available now for Android users, and it coming soon for those that own an iOS device.



  • Added a dialog to remind Trainers that they should not play while traveling above a certain speed. Trainers must confirm they are not driving in order to continue playing.

  • Made improvements to the accuracy of a curveball throw.

  • Fixed a bug that prevented ”Nice,” ”Great,” and “Excellent” Poké Ball throws from awarding the appropriate XP bonuses.

  • Fixed achievements showing incorrect Medal icons.

  • Enabled the ability for Trainers to change their nickname one time. Please choose your new nickname wisely.

  • Resolved issues with the battery saver mode on iOS and re-enabled the feature.
  • Added visuals of Team Leaders Candela, Blanche, and Spark.

  • We’re currently testing a variation of the “Nearby Pokémon” feature with a subset of users. During this period you may see some variation in the nearby Pokémon UI.

  • Minor text fixes


Niantic is open to feedback so you can let them know if you approve of the changes that have been made to Pokemon Go. The last update didn’t go very well with fans…

What Niantic has been secretly working on! A brilliant way to find Pokemon!


ARTICLE BY: Business Insider
AUTHOR: Matt Weinberger/Business Insider
It looks like Niantic, the company behind the smash-hit smartphone sensation Pokémon Go, is working on a big, huge upgrade to the way you find nearby Pokémon, finally fixing a big frustration for players.
In the release notes for the newest Pokémon Go app update for Android and iPhone, Niantic teased that “we’re currently testing a variation of the ‘Nearby Pokémon’ feature with a subset of users.”
The news comes not a moment too late: Pokémon Go players have been up in arms since Niantic removed the game’s first version of the Nearby Pokémon feature, following a two-week-plus period where it simply didn’t work at all. 
Right now, it seems like different players are seeing different things. As Kotaku reports, it looks like most players are seeing a new “Sightings” menu, which merely shows you which Pokémon are nearby, though it’s also said to be more responsive and accurate than the old version. 
Me, personally, I’m seeing something else. And the upgraded Pokémon tracking system I’m seeing is cooler and way more potentially useful than either the very first system, or the one that Kotaku is seeing. 


Here’s how it works

When I pull up my tracker, first I see this. The changes are immediately apparent: It lists a bunch of Pokémon next to a picture of a nearby PokéStop — the real-world locations that disperse in-game equipment to players as they pass by — giving me a huge hint as to where it is:

If I click on one, it pulls up a map, guiding me to the general area where that Pokémon can be found:



So without telling you exactly where a Pokémon is, it gives you a big, huge hint. Using the PokéStop as a marker is a good general guide, and the little circle here gives you an idea of where to search. I’m not totally sure what the pawprints mean in this context, but I’m assuming they show distance between you and the Pokémon. 
Why am I seeing this when other players aren’t? Hard to say. But it sounds like Niantic is testing a few ideas among different groups of users. Personally, though I haven’t really taken this new method for a real-world spin, it seems like a very cool idea — hopefully, when Niantic is ready to roll it out for real to everyone, it’ll look like this.
In the meanwhile, the fact that Niantic is working on a fix for Nearby should go some ways towards repairing the developer’s trust with the hardcore Pokémon Go-playing community, who were left cold when the removal of the Pokémon tracking feature coincided with the shutdown of popular cheating sites that mapped the monsters.
