The worldwide augmented reality gaming phenomenon Pokémon GO updates and events. Players around the world will have the chance to experience this update later in Summer 2021.
Since its launch in 2016, Pokémon GO has remained consistently popular and has helped usher in a new era of advanced mobile gaming. The game, which can be ed on any iOS or Android device, allows players to play out a fantasy as a Pokémon trainer in the real world through AR technology that adapts to the player's surroundings.

A slightly more ubiquitous change comes in the form of the new real-time sky lighting system. Based on where a is playing Pokémon GO, the app will dynamically change the visuals of the sky on the in-game map. For instance, if someone is playing the game on a cloudy day, the map will display a darkened, moody skybox. If someone on a different, sunnier part of the globe is playing at the same time, the map will take on the opposite appearance. This will be yet another way that Pokémon GO interacts with the real world, furthering the sense of immersion.
Niantic's commitment to keeping Pokémon GO a fresh, exciting, one-of-a-kind experience has paid off time and time again, as countless gamers and non-gamers alike have fallen in love with the game since its release. Through advanced augmented reality technology, Niantic has been able to elevate an already beloved franchise to new heights, and the continued implementation of new features has only served to enhance the experience. While the Pokémon franchise is still releasing mainline console games, the attention given to Pokémon GO is sure to solidify it as a generation-defining entry in the series.
