Pokemon Go News And Updates: Niantic Partners With Sprint; Adds 10.5K Gyms and Pokestops

Pokemon Go players will now have more gyms to take over and Pokestops to use those lure modules and catch 'em all Pokemon. Niantic has just announced its partnership with telecommunications company Sprint, which should turn its 10,500 stores into gyms and Pokestops.

Sprint, Boost Mobile, and RadioShack places will soon turn into a place for Pokemon Go trainers. The Verge reports that Sprint store locations will allow Pokemon trainers to use their charging locations while they take their Pokemon into battle to takeover a gym, use lure modules to catch Pokemon, or just simply get some Pokeballs.

Being the fourth largest telecommunications carrier in the United States, this will be one great help to help Sprint's business. Other businesses also do the same thing-turning their location into a gym or Pokestop to lure in customers. Other news reports state that the same thing is expected to happen with Starbucks.

Meanwhile, another great news has surfaced for Pokemon Go players has been announced. According to Forbes, Niantic is also set to reveal the details on a new update coming in on Monday, which is reportedly adding more Pokemon to the game. Rumors have spread that other legendary Pokemon will be revealed, and Mewtwo will soon be available.

Business Insider also reported that the upcoming announcement from Niantic may include Pokemon breeding. Other rumors surfaced that ultra-rare shiny Pokemon will be available as well. These will be of the same appearance as the existing Pokemon in the game, just different in color. These are expected to be hard to catch, since these will be considered collector's items. Another one would be the ability to customize a trainer's avatar, and buy or use free costumes for Pokemon Go.

Niantic is set to make the big announcement about the upcoming Pokemon Go update on Monday, December 12.
