Pokémon Go, Niantic's flagship augmented reality game developed in partnership with the iconic creature-catching franchise, has experienced its share of highs and lows. However, Niantic is set to rekindle the enthusiasm of players, especially those who felt disconnected post-Covid, with a significant update: a permanent increase in global spawn rates!
This isn't a fleeting event or a temporary boost. Pokémon will now appear more frequently, and in densely-populated areas, you'll see an uptick in both encounters and the areas where they spawn. Since the return to in-person gameplay post-Covid, Niantic has rolled out various updates, some of which have been well-received while others have stirred controversy.
For those of you who've been struggling to catch your desired Pokémon, this news is bound to be a game-changer. Given that spawn rates have been a focal point of criticism, this update is a straightforward win for Niantic and is sure to resonate well with the player base.
I wouldn't label this move as an acknowledgment of past errors by Niantic. Instead, it's a sign of the company adapting to the evolving landscape. After nearly a decade since Pokémon Go's launch (can you believe it's been that long?), urban landscapes and player demographics have shifted significantly.
Residents of large cities, in particular, will appreciate the increased spawn rates during the colder months, reducing the time needed to brave the elements in search of Pokémon.
