News & Reviews:   Pokemon GO

Since the Movement Control Order will go on until 28 April (for now), Niantic is figuring out more ways to allow Pokemon Go players to stay at home and play. In this latest update, you will be able to access Raid Battles, receive Field Research bonus without PokeStop, and many more! Read on below on what you can do now in Pokemon Go.

Although games like Pokemon Go and Harry Potter: Wizards Unite were designed for people to get out and exercise, this isn't possible when we're all told to stay at home. Niantic had to rethink how its games can work if you're not able to walk long distances and to actual locations. With that line of thought, the company will implement some new measures for those stuck at home.

With the on-going control order period in Malaysia, Pokemon Go fans have been stuck at home ever since and Niantic have been providing them ways to play the game indoors. Today, there is a new update from the company giving players better gaming experience which includes Gift changes, Pokemon Catch bonuses and a new rotating 1 Pokecoin bundle. Here's how each mechanic works.

For long-time fans of Pokemon GO, rejoice, for you will soon be able to battle other players in the game. Niantic first announced that the Go Battle League mode last year and confirmed that we will have it in 2020. The company has begun to slowly release the feature in different regions before it hit a snag.

While the west has yet to embrace mobile gaming wholeheartedly, it has proven popular for the east particularly in the South East Asia region. Multiple mobile gaming eSports competitions have already taken off in a few countries and to know that Malaysia will be the host for the PUBG Mobile Club Open 2019 Fall Split Global Finals is quite a testament. 

While it's impossible to go through every single mobile game to see which one is the best, we can definitely tell you which were (and still are) super enjoyable and our favourites. Do keep in mind that the games listed here are in alphabetical order, so without further ado.. here are our Favourite Mobile Games so far in 2019.

Niantic has announced that a feature called “Buddy Adventure” will be added into its huge AR game, Pokémon Go. “Buddy Adventure” allows you to feed berries to your Pokémon and pat them virtually on their heads with your own hands.

Good news to Pokemon Fans! Your request has been granted! Recently, Pokemon Go developer Niantic has finally announced a new battle mode, called the Online Battle League which will be launching in 2020! So how can you enter the league?

Launched in 2016, Pokemon Go has captured the hearts of millions of players worldwide over the last three years thanks to its unique gameplay style and strong global Pokemon fanbase. Unfortunately for certain Xiaomi smartphone users, Niantic's brainchild seems to be banning users based on their choice of phone following their recent 10.3.2 update. The Xiaomi Redmi 5 in particular, seems to be most affected by the suspensions, and the culprit might be the update itself or their Game Booster feature.

Developer DeNA, the company that collaborated with Nintendo for popular games such as Super Mario Run, Fire Emblem: Heroes and the upcoming Mario Kart Tour mobile game will be bringing a brand new Pokemon game to Android and iOS this Summer. 

Hear ye, hear ye! The makers of Pokemon Go, Niantic, has finally released its latest mobile game app, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite in Malaysia. Previously, only the USA and UK were able to access it but that was just the first wave, as it's been rolling out slowly globally. The game app is free to download at your Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
