The previous Christmas update on Pokémon GO was not very satisfying the users, but the added things from Dec. 25 is making it a better deal. However, having no Christmas tree, snow lights, Christmas ornaments is a disappointment for some gamers. Also, there were gift boxes found in the data mining and rumors have it that it would appear along with the Christmas update. Or is the developer planning to make a surprise introduction of gift boxes in Pokémon GO on Christmas day?

Niantic is found to be very specific in extending Pokémon GO reach into more platforms and devices. Recently, it is introduced in Apple watches to help the iPhone gamers where the users gaming activity will be calculated to physical activity and are expected to make a positive feel about the functionality. For the time being, it seems to be a good idea, chasing Pokemon and simultaneously completing the physical activity prescribed per day, right?
