News & Reviews:   Pokemon GO

Hey TechNave gamers! Christmas is literally around the corner and I’m sure you guys are excited to open up your gifts. Maybe some of us will be lucky and get ourselves a brand new Nintendo Switch or even a Playstation 4 Pro. Personally, I’m just hoping to get a Playstation Store gift card so I can grab myself Kingdom Hearts 3 on release next month.

Hey TechNave gamers! While the gaming world was relatively quiet this week, a few interesting DLC’s were released that may keep us gamers pretty occupied until the next best game drops. ASUS ROG dropped the world’s thinnest and compact gaming laptop alongside a new range of ROG Ranger Backpacks and ROG Collection T-shirts which ends 2018 on a high note for the Taiwanese company.

Hey gamers! The Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales have just passed and I’m actually feeling my wallet to be a little lighter (or in case, empty, as I wait for my next paycheck to drop in). Oh well, I’m sure our tears would dry (temporarily) when our ordered packages come in or the intro scene of our just purchased games play on our screens. Unless you purchased Fallout 76. Then there’s no joy for you for sure.  As for me, I’m just smiling (and tearing up a little) whenever I lay my eyes on the Nvidia RTX 2070 GPU I just purchased. #PCmasterrrace!

Hello Pokémon Go trainers, how's your level going? Although many players have left the game already, but there are still some who are still playing it. Anyway, Pokémon Go developer, Niantic is reportedly bringing some update patches to the game, they will make friendly gym training easier and giving a bonus to catch rare Pokémon easier.

This week, tech news was rather scarce but Pokemon Go seems to be gripping the nation as XPAX by Celcom and Hotlink and Grab offered their users some Pokemon Go incentives. We chimed in with the top 5 features that Pokemon Go needs while we wait for the next version of Pokemon Go.

It's been more than a week now since Pokémon Go was released in Malaysia, the viral is real, you can see them in parks, happily catching em' all and the app no doubt took the nation by storm. Being a Pokémon fan myself, I never really thought I'd see the day like that would happen, but the game still has a lot of work to do.

Keep in mind that we won't be including upcoming known features such as a new sight tracking system, PvP/PvE (player vs player or environment), trading, upcoming future Pokémon generations and others. So without further ado, here are the top 5 features that we think the app should have.

Pokémon Go has incredibly made people go out of their house more than usual, this of course also means that it drains their smartphones' battery faster. But it doesn't seem to matter to them since power banks are here to help, which also means this has helped battery pack manufacturers' businesses a lot.

Last week was crazy busy as Honor started it with a bang and their officially announced Honor Note 8 and Honor 5 Play. Samsung subsequently skipped numbers and officially announced the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 with their new Gear VR. ASUS soon followed suit with their full range of ASUS ZenFone 3, ASUS ZenFone 3 Ultra, ASUS ZenFone 3 Deluxe, ASUS ZenFone 3 Max and ASUS ZenFone 3 Laser smartphones along with their ASUS ZenBook 3, ASUS Transformer 3 and ASUS Transformer 3 Pro, all for Malaysia.

Yes, you heard it right Pokémon fans. The app has finally arrive in Malaysia after the long wait! You can go download it via iOS Apple Store and Google Play Store right now! Remember, the company is by Niantic Inc. so don't get fooled into downloading some other third party app. 

Want to catch them all without having to drive unsafely at the same time? Grab and Hotlink are teaming up to provide a FREE Grab-powered PokeMobile ride for the first 2 days following the official launch of Pokemon Go in Malaysia. While there is no actual mention of a Pokemon Go launch yet, Hotlink will be providing 100 USD worth of PokeCoins (which is about 14500) via HotLink Cash Online and a 10% discount of PokeCoins purchases for Hotlink users who get a ride on the 4 PokeMobiles which will be available during the promotional period.
