Pokemon GO Update: Gyms Are Fun And Awesome, Reveal Testers
Testers of Pokémon GO were asked by Niantic to not share information about the game but leaks continue to pour in. In the latest leaks, more details have emerged about gym training and teams.
New reports claim there are three teams that players can be part of, viz. red, yellow and blue. The revelations come from beta testers who have had access to the game in a few countries including Japan, Australia and New Zealand. The leaks have also revealed new information about training in gyms.
Testers have taken to Reddit to provide more details about gyms. Gyms can be used for training or competing. Winning at a gym enhances prestige of the winner but also lowers that of the gym. Every gym has at least one Pokémon defending it. Every level a gym progresses, a new slot for additional defending Pokémon opens up.
Every gym also has an arena at the top where Pokemon battle. The challenging Pokémon turns around the outer edge attacking, while the gym's defending Pokémon is in the center. Reddit users have also described in detail attacks and moves, with images about damage status.
The beta has introduced gyms but Niantic has not revealed anything about trading.
"Though we now have a good idea how PokeStops work, how Combat is fought, and how wild encounters function, we know that Niantic hasn't revealed anything about the lore, the reasons for teams, etc," one Reddit user wrote in response to a query about the game.
While testers have a gala time exploring the game, others without access have to content with speculating about it. Some users are wondering if the Pokedex can be completed at all.
"In pokemon go, is there a possibility that there would only be one of each of the legendary pokemon in the world? For instance, one of each of the legendary birds and one mewtwo and one mew," asked one Reddit user.
