Pokemon GO Update: Players Can Now Hatch Eggs With Watches; Game Is Finally Available On Apple Watch

Niantic, the game developer of Pokemon GO, proudly announced last September that they will be making it available on Apple Watch before the year ends. The company showed a version of the game for Apple Watch at the event. But after the announcement, no updates were given, sparking rumors that it will no longer happen.

Finally, The Game Is Now A Part Of Apple Watch

Now, the rumors are dispelled by the recent release of the demo version of Pokemon GO on the Apple Watch. That means the video game will really become available for this device. It comes at a time when people are thinking of what they can give to their loved ones on Christmas Day. This watch, with the popular video game inside, will be one of the best options.

But It Is Not The Full Version

But Pokemon GO lovers should take note. The video game inside the Apple Watch is not the full version. It needs to be connected to the same game on a mobile phone. This will enable players to do some in-game activities without using their mobile devices. But they can't catch Pokemon by using the watch.

However, the Pokemon GO inside the Apple Watch will allow them to see monsters that are nearby and also to collect items from Pokestops. There are also some other features that will make this game version useful and functional to the players.

It Is More Like A Companion App

According to the game developer of Pokemon GO, the Apple Watch version of the game will also allow players to receive notifications when eggs have already hatched and when medals are awarded. Players can also use the watch to count the distance from Pokemon eggs that are about to hatch.

Since players still need their mobile phones to play the game, the Apple Watch with Pokemon GO will serve as a companion device. This is in keeping with the direction that Niantic wants the game to take. It seems that their intent is for players to move out and around which is what is required to improve one's health.
