Pokemon Go will soon follow the steps and practice when you are at home. According to Niantic, cleaning your home or running on a treadmill will help you achieve your exercise goals and improve your relationship with pokémon with Adventure Sync.

Because social distance makes finding a group difficult to raid, Niantic also intends to add a new feature that lets you complete battles with friends without leaving home – provided players still have Poké Balls. Although Niantic said that this feature will be available soon, we have no insight into its operation.

Here’s the official blog post

In short this is what the blog post covered:

While it’s impossible to predict when and how the situation with COVID-19 will evolve globally, we’re going to make the following changes to our games and live events:

Exercise : you can track your steps indoor with Adventure Sync so activities like cleaning your house and running on a treadmill count toward game achievements. We’re going to make improvements to Adventure Sync so it works even better with indoor movement and activities.

Social : we’re enhancing our in-game virtual social features to enable players to stay in touch when they can’t meet in real life. You’ll soon be able to team up with friends and take on Raid Battles together in Pokemon GO from the comfort of home.

Explore : we’re also looking into how we can help players virtually visit and share memories about their favorite real-world places, until they can once again visit them in person.

Live Events: we’re re-imagining what it means to participate in a Niantic live event this summer, and putting our creative energy towards bringing the excitement directly to your home. That means we’re working on an entirely new way to enjoy Pokemon GO Fest. More details coming soon!

Our Thoughts on the post

The improvements in Adventure Sync may be just technical and mechanical improvements to indoor tracking, with a greater focus on staying active in small places. We are not sure which issue Niantic is trying to solve, but we look forward to any changes to Adventure Adventure Sync.

Raiding at home is the biggest challenge here. If we had to guess, we would say that Niantic could use a system similar to the one you use to check the status of a gym defender, but may only be used for gyms you have visited and have badges. From our perspective, this is pure speculation, but using the “Gym” badge list does make sense. May be related to a nearby Raids tracker. No matter what solution they seek, we are guessing that they will need some time to implement it-my guess is at least a month.

A new way to enjoy Pokemon GO Fest? Well, it will definitely be virtual, and the format may be the only thing that needs to be figured out. In the past few years, we have enjoyed an “inside-out” approach, with global trainers participating in global challenges and participants facing their own challenges. We will see how this happens, but buying a ticket may release more dividends for ticket holders.

Exploring change? We don’t know what this means, but it looks like this is not a personal PokéStops.
