... is whether or not it will be an either/or situation. If you can use both berries at once, players will have a powerful new option when they encounter a Pokémon that refuses to stay in its Poké Ball.

The buddy system helps with gathering candy for super-rare, endgame-level Pokémon, but at 5 km for one piece of Snorlax or Lapras candy, it can be a hell of a grind to get the lone Snorlax or Lapras in your collection powered up that way. Not that depending on double candy rates for catching a Snorlax or Lapras in the wild is the best strategy for gathering candy, either, unless you live on top of a nest. But being able to double the amount of candy you receive after a ...

Pokemon Go Valentines Day Event Update Shows New Items

... in addition to the many other changes we showed over the weekend, there’s a new set of berries. These berries will likely rely on a system similar to that of the Buddy Pokemon.

Pokemon GO was brilliant at its beginning for all players, as evidenced by the massive shockwave of influence the game had on the year 2016, in mobile gaming and beyond. But for those people that’ve been playing since launch, there’s little to do in the game save inch toward a point where no advancement can be made. Niantic never built in an ultimate goal. What they did not do – and should have done – was to build in a sort of RESET button. Several major games have replay value not because they’re significantly different each time they’re played, but because they’re re-playable. Take ...
