Niantic made a major Pokémon Go announcement early this week, all new features and challenges are coming to Pokémon Go and players will be able to keep track of them to earn in-game rewards! The challenges can be completed by doing something ranging from capturing a Pokémon to winning a raid battle.
People are going nuts for this announcement because it means giving Pokémon Go something that it never had before, a story. It also has the potential to revive the waining Pokémon Go playerbase which are frustrated by the game’s instability and lack of a continuous challenge.
The new challenges are expected to launch later this week. You can read some of the details about the new game features here.
