As we move forward, I can continue to expect us to choose features that both provide a good tie-in with augmented reality, as well as being strong on Pokemon features.
Indeed, Niantic Labs is starting as early as this week by making Gym and PokéStop locations more accessible to "Pokémon GO" players with the addition of these venues in other areas, thanks to Ingress Agents around the world and the Operation Portal Recon.
Speaking of which, location seems to be the issue that gamers are having with one of the rarest Gen 3 creatures Relicanth, also popping up in certain countries.
According to the folks over at The Silph Reddit, the Pokémon has only appeared in regions like New Zealand where many of the sightings are being reported, as well as Fiji, New Caledonia and Vanatu.
Because of this, a lot of "Pokémon GO" players are yet to get the chance to capture the highly sought after pocket monster and are hoping they would sooner rather than later.
It is speculated that for now, Relicanth will make the Pacific Island region its home. It is unknown at the moment when fans will get to see the creature in more locations.
