Niantic has made new improvements to “Pokemon Go”, led by the much-awaited batch transfer feature to “Professor Willow”. Now, players can easily dispose of excess pocket monsters on their end and get Pokemon candy with ease.
With most bent on capturing as much pocket monsters for evolution and power-up needs, capturing more than one Pokemon type is only. With a 250 limit on critters storage, a recourse is to transfer some of them to “Professor Willow”.
The only problem though is that before was all this can only be done on “Pokemon Go” on a per monster basis. Depending on the number of pocket monsters a player wants to exchange, that could take some time to accomplish.
Now, things just got easier with the “Pokemon Go” batch transfer feature. Trainers can now transfer multiple monsters to “Professor Willow” and get tons of candy in return, Niantic reported.
The feature that “Pokemon Go” players have long been waiting for is something that can be done through the simple press and hold down on a Pokemon according to Niantic. The “Pokemon Go” batch transfer feature will reportedly take effect once update 1.19.1 for iOS and 0.49.1 for Android is rolled out, Game Rant reported. There are other new features players may want to check out as well.
Among them include improvements to the “Pokemon Go” buddy screen which will show the total count of candies a player has amassed. The total kilometers walked will also be shown plus some minor text fixes.
The update may not be that much, but the ‘nearby tracking’ feature has been rolled out. The ‘Sightings’ feature now makes more sense with players shown where the spawns for a particular critter is at.
With the “Pokemon Go” update, the attention now shifts on what Niantic has planned for the Christmas in-game event. Similar to Halloween and Thanksgiving, lots of goodies and spawns are highly awaited by augmented reality players for the holidays. Tied up to that is the possible release of legendary and rare creatures, another thing pocket monster hunters are eagerly awaiting.
Check out the video below for a rundown on the latest update on features for “Pokemon Go”.
