Since its release on July, "Pokemon GO" never stopped taking popularity among other mobile games, until Niantic Labs failed to release consistent bi-weekly updates, the augmented-reality game ratings dropped significantly. Many were disappointed and ranting about when will Niantic finally come to their senses and make any significant updates to the game. Well, good news for all "Pokemon GO" gamers, the software developer company is finally out of their cave with a bunch of new game features and updates.

With demands from all players across the globe, it's somehow understandable that Niantic failed the promised "bi-weekly release". However, it seems that the company is really trying hard to make more improvements to the game and continue the fun.

New Pokemon Tracker

One of the latest updates that Niantic has released is the new Pokemon tracking system which show Pokemons nearby. However, players around the world are already starting to notice some glitches on the update.One of it is the ability to detect Pokemon at a relatively long distance like a kilometer away from the player's exact position but is unable to find wild Pokemons that are actually just a couple of steps from the player.

In a report by Forbes, "Sightings" feature is kind of having some glitch in the new update. Because there is now more and more PokeStops, the chance is that it would be difficult to find wild Pokemon and end up missing them when they are actually just right behind the player, at least for the city environment. For rural players, there would only be two PokeStops in Nearby. The "Sightings" feature only works best when the player is outside the range of any PokeStop.

The new tracking system could have been the biggest and most significant update for "Pokemon GO" after a long while. However, as players put it, it seems as if there are still no significant changes even after three months of rigorous testing that the software developer company had been conducting.

IB Times reported that if updates won't satisfy the players, Niantic might offer discounts from its buyable items. Is the ready give out a bunch of discounts? That would be another thing track on.

Meanwhile on "Pokemon Sun and Moon", there are two new major revelations that point out on the Poke Pelago caretaker Mohn and Ultra Beast Necrozma. What are these? Find out in a report by Jobs & Hire.
