Pokemon Go updates to benefit those in self-isolation due to coronavirus

Pokemon Go updates have been pushed to benefit those in self-isolation due to the coronavirus.

Developer Niantic is offering a pack of 30 Incense for 1 Gold Coin. Incense will lure Pokemon to your location, ideal for catching the pocket monsters while safe at home. The special 30 pack will last 1 hour each, than the normal 30 minutes.

Also, traditional Pokemon spawning locations will generate more spawns than before, making it easier to catch new Pokemon while in self-isolation. If you’re near a PokeStop, you’ll find they’re offering more items when spun, meaning you’ll have more opportunity to send gifts to your friends who are in self-isolation too.

Finally, the distance required to hatch eggs has been halved than usual.

Last week, the developer confirmed that this month's Abra Community Day would be postponed until further notice.

Pokemon Go is available on iOS and Android devices.

I'm glad the creators are taking steps to adapt their game with current issues. Though hopefully they change it once its done so people don't become lazy.

Thats a pretty cool solution since this whole thing could sully activity in the game otherwise. Good on them.

    My sister's partner's son is obsessed with the movies and the shows, he's seen absolutely everything and raves about them. Showed me a couple of the movies, and they're definitely decent, but it feels like you're out of the loop if you haven't seen them and try to watch one at random. So need to sort of figure out an order and go with it at some point

    Excellent!

    :) Glad I could help!

    If you do end up checking any out I would love to hear what you think of some
  • PGen98 @ PGen98:
    Most definitely, much appreciated :)
  • PGen98 @ PGen98:
    Yep, will do!
  • BigPete7978 @ BigPete7978:
    Oh I just figured out you can have the chat in a separate pop up! Amazing!
  • PGen98 @ PGen98:
    Yep, pop-up mode :)

    hi all

    Test to see if I can send a link in chat. Imgur: The magic of the Internet
  • A @ Augment:
    Oh hey it worked! This is my db schema so far
  • PGen98 @ PGen98:
    That's a good start!
  • A @ Augment:
    I'm a bit confused what I should do for user/vote relationship. Should it be a one to many from user or a one to one?
  • A @ Augment:
    So that a user can only vote once per thread
  • PGen98 @ PGen98:
    I want to say it's one to one, but in all honesty I'm a bit fuzzy there. I can recommend JoyFreak's sister site AdminIntel - Admin & Webmaster Resource where there are lots for people of varying degrees of expertise with development, you likely can get a far more precise answer there!
  • A @ Augment:
    Wow what a fantastic resource. Thank you very much for the help
