‘Pokemon GO’s’ New Update Details: Daily Quest Rewards, A Feature That Should Have Been Included From Day One

"Pokemon Go's" latest update was launched today including features that should have been built-in with the game since day one. Can this update recreate the hype that has put the game where it is today?

The last update for the "Pokemon GO" software was the Halloween event, which made an impressive 133 percent increase for the mobile game. The Halloween event made $10 million for that period alone, according to GameRant. Before the Halloween update, "Pokemon Go" was losing players every day due to lack of content and redundancy, which cost the game more than 15 million daily users to quit playing.

"Pokemon Go's" latest update includes the following perks: if a player catches a Pokémon every day, he will earn a bonus of 500 XP and 600 Stardust, which will grow up to 2,000 XP and 2,400 Stardust. Another method is by visiting a PokéStop and spinning the PhotoDisc every day. In this activity, the player will earn a bonus of 500 XP and a number of additional items. If he visits the PokéStop every day for seven days straight, he will earn an even larger bonus of 2,000 XP and a greater number of additional items. An example scenario would be like a player catch a Pokémon at any time on Tuesday local time, he will be eligible for the next daily bonus on Wednesday at 12 AM local time, based on Niantic's confirmation published by Pokemon Go HUB.

The perks of playing "Pokemon GO" do not lie in its daily bonuses, which should have been included from the day it was launched. "Pokemon GO" promotes human connection, exploration and health, which are crucial activities for a healthy lifestyle. "Pokemon GO's" market was handed to Niantic on a silver platter and losing 15 million of those is a serious decline. The success of the Halloween event is a second chance for Niantic to focus on their craft for the possibilities for "Pokemon GO" is endless, but they "gotta catch 'em all" first.
