Pokémon GO added a handful of bonuses for players choosing to remain at home when Covid first struck. Now, more of those bonuses might be going away.
Pokémon GO will apparently be making changes that work to the detriment of players who choose to stay at home as part of a recent update. These changes come by way of the Season of Alola event, which has added more than twenty new Pokémon to the AR game.
The incredibly popular mobile game relies on real-world interaction to get the most out of its augmented reality integration, so when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, developer Niantic had to rethink how the game was structured. To encourage people to stay home and not break quarantine, the game added several incentives and bonuses for anyone playing from the confines of their household.
However, it is important to realize that there are several reasons why players might not be able or willing to get moving. There are players with disabilities, for instance, that could hinder their ability to comfortably move about their environment. Additionally, it is still extremely cold in many parts of the world, so geography can be a limiting factor as well.
