Pokemon GO has received a significant update that allows users to re-customize trainer avatars from the profile screen, adjusts battle damage calculations, removes the footprints of nearby Pokemon, and more.

Pokémon are out there, and you need to find them. As you walk around a neighborhood, your smartphone will vibrate when there’s a Pokémon nearby. Take aim and throw a Poké Ball… You’ll have to stay alert, or it might get away!

This update to Pokemon GO has caused a lot of controversy already. First there have been many users that found their progress reset back to level one. Second, instead of fixing the broken footsteps indicator which was supposed to show users how close a Pokémon was by the number of paw prints next to their name, Niantic scrapped the feature altogether. Third, the company shut down Pokévision and other creature-finding apps.

What's New In This Version:
- Trainer avatars can now be re-customized from the profile screen
- Adjusted some Pokémon battle move damage values
- Refined certain Gym animations
- Improved memory issues
- Removed footprints of nearby Pokémon
- Adjusted battle damage calculation
- Various bug fixes during wild Pokémon encounter
- Updated Pokémon details UI
- Updated achievement medals art
- Fixed issues with displaying certain map features
- Minor text fixes

You can download Pokémon GO from the App Store for free.

I gotta ask, this just doesn't seem right. Why does Pokemon go still run around if in air plane mode? One would think the GPS would be disabled when in airplane mode. I thought I was crazy but regardless where I turned or stopped so did my trainer and I was in airplane mode. Security? Is that ok

Can't seem to use the battery save feature anymore! Tilting the screen doesn't do anything! Any solutions?

Cosmo - July 31, 2016 at 5:53pm

They removed it

Now that's a very very silly thing to do!! Are they trying to reduce usage of increase it? Means folks batteries would be flying down quicker than an F16
