Pokemon Go will start to roll back pandemic changes made in response to the COVID-19, from July 2021.

Developer Niantic said:
How we all play changed a lot in the past 15 months. With the onset of the global pandemic, we realized that we had to change the model for all of our games. We could no longer take going outside and meeting people for granted.

At the end of July, Niantic will begin to offer new exploration bonuses alongside the removal of certain pandemic bonuses. The changes will be made in areas that are starting to open back up after successful vaccination campaigns.

The new exploration bonuses will include two free Raid Passes from spinning Gym Photo Discs alongside increased Incense effectiveness while moving and guaranteed gifts and bonus XP from spinning Pokestops. Current bonuses to be removed include gifts from your Buddy Pokemon, increased PokeStop and Gym interaction distances and stationary Incense effectiveness. Finally, current bonuses that will remain include Incense duration, challenging another Trainer remotely via QR Code, increases to Gifts and Gift open rats and bonus Stardust and XP for your first Pokemon catch of the day.

Niantic continued:
We’ll make these bonuses available in other countries and regions as it’s safe to do so. We understand that every place is different. Rest assured, we will be monitoring the situation and activating appropriate bonuses when and where available. Because of this, Trainers may experience different bonuses at different times. To see which exploration bonuses are available to you, check out your Today View.

Pokemon Go is available on iOS and Android devices.

I was wondering when they roll things back. I wonder if the fans will be happy?

It seems that the fans on Reddit aren't too happy. One of the posts regarding this ended up on the Popular tab

    Oh hey it worked! This is my db schema so far

    That's a good start!

    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!

    Wow what a fantastic resource. Thank you very much for the help
