Niantic is always adding cool stuff to make playing Pokémon Go more fun. Now, they’ve come up with something new for players to get excited about. This feature lets players keep a special memory of where they’ve caught their Pokémon. But, not everyone is sure if they like this idea.
Starting at the Pokémon Go Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas event on February 18 and 19, players can start collecting something called Location Cards.
What are Location Cards?
These Location Cards are a bit like collecting special memories. Niantic calls them “souvenir backgrounds”. Players can get them during the Go Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas event. Later, Niantic will offer them at other events too.
Fan Reactions
But here’s the thing, not everyone is jumping up and down about it. To some fans, this new feature doesn’t really change the game. They think it’s just a new look with no real effect on how we play Pokémon Go.
Some players think this might just be another thing that only the most hardcore Pokémon fans will like. They compare it to other features added before that didn’t get much love, like Mega Pokémon Portraits and Pokémon size features.
Even folks going to the Go Tour: Hoenn – Las Vegas event aren’t too thrilled. One player on Reddit said they doubt they’ll care much about this feature.
Will It Catch On?
We’re still waiting to see how this will all play out. Where and when these Location Cards show up is still unknown. We’ll see if Niantic makes this feature cooler in the future, especially during big events.
For now, it looks like Location Cards might just be a fun little extra. We’ll have to wait and see if players really start enjoying them.
