Nintendo and Pokemon Go’s developer Niantic took the internet to reveal some new details on their highly anticipated mobile title in the spirit of their upcoming beta test. Don’t get too excited. Some of the news is a bit disappointing. According to the plug

“The augmented reality game will allow players to find and capture over 100 different Pokemon. Players use Poke Balls to catch Pokemon; players will throw them at Pokemon, and hope it stays shut. Poke Balls and other “special” items are available at PokeStops—which are located at “interesting” public spots like art installations and historical monuments. “

That first bit of news is disappointing on so many levels. There’s like over 700 Pokemon, and we can’t even get the original 150 at the bare minimum. This means you’ll be battling a lot of the same Pokemon because I’m sure there will be a tier system with a select few Pokemon at the top. I’m sure they could patch more in, but it doesn’t change the fact it’s disappointing.

Other new news includes information on gym battles. Gyms will be located in real world locations, so you’ll have to get off your fat ass to beat the elite four. Players battle other players in the gym. Winner gets to claim it as their own once the gyms prestige reaches level zero. From there you can build up the gyms prestige so people know your E-clout level. Pokemon Go launches sometime in 2016 for IOS and Android devices.
