Pokemon fans are getting hyped for the soon-to-be-released augmented reality adventure game, "Pokemon Go." And as more fans are expressing their anticipation for the upcoming game, a Pokemon GO beta tester was released, revealing some of its unique features.
On the released beta version, players had the opportunity to glimpse and experience Pokemon Go before its official launching. Parent Herald reported that, according to players, Pokemon Go features completely unique gym battles compared to the other usual Pokemon games.
The beta also informed players about its gameplay features such as dodging through swiping, timing attacks as well as advised players to move their hands quickly to escape attacks. Gamers must defeat Pokemons in the gym battle within 120 seconds and every time a Pokemon dies, another one appears, thus the timer will run again.
In Pokemon Go, players can go training in the gym, which is different from its 3DS and Gameboy games. Once the gym level ups, players can add more Pokemons. Niantic Labs has also chosen a few countries for its game beta tests. Recently, the game developer made the announcement that they have added the United States for the game beta tests, according to Ecumenical News.
As fans become more excited for the upcoming game, numerous thread discussions are spreading on the web that reveal more game details. Fans are also flooding threads with suggestions such as adding more food and water supplies.
The official date of the game release has not been revealed by the game developers and its partner, The Pokemon Company. However, rumor has it that Pokemon Go will be launch sometime in summer this year. The game is also free-to-play but also supports in-app-purchases.
Niantic launched its first beta test in Japan exclusively, and soon, expanded to other countries such as, Australia and New Zealand, and the most recent addition, the United States. The game will be released along with Pokemon Go Plus, Nintendo's wearable device used to detect Pokemon through Bluetooth connection.
