ORIGINAL: A new update of Pokemon Go is coming soon on Android and iOS and it seems that Niantic has already started the distribution process to fans.

The trainers have started reporting a forced update of a new patch, which suggests that the development team is preparing for the launch of the next major game feature.

The new update of Pokemon Go could be put online later today or tomorrow, depending on the timing of Niantic.

New updates are sometimes published around 21h in the UK, which means we could start seeing news and announcements in a few hours.

It is also likely that Niantic will wait until Thursday to launch his next major project for Pokemon Go.

This would be Adventure Sync, the new feature that will allow players to earn rewards out of pocket.

Adventure Sync was announced last week by Niantic and will allow fans to track their walking distance even when the app is not open.

Trainers will be able to track the distance traveled and unlock rewards for their activity.

Adventure Sync will work in the background to calculate the distance, earn candies and hatch eggs.

This is a game changer, especially for players who can not access their phones while on the move.

It has also been confirmed that push notifications will be used to inform players when their Buddy Pokémon has found a Candy or when an egg is about to hatch.

This will still provide players with good level control of the game, even if it means an important update for the game.

It is also possible that this new patch and feature add some serious bugs to the game.

Fans will have to be vigilant to detect problems this week.

Players will also need to accept new terms and conditions as the new feature will imply that the application behaves differently when the new update is online.

This involves activating the background activity of your Pokemon Go application, which means that some data will be collected by Niantic.

"Adventure Sync, which is first implemented in Pokémon GO, gives players the ability to record their steps with just the phone in their pockets," says a message from Niantic.

"This key feature opens up a whole gamut of gaming opportunities on the Niantic Real World platform, which is an effective and user-friendly tool for phone exchanges that encourages players to visit their local communities.

"It's no surprise that Pokémon GO coaches love going out and walking. Up until 2018, coaches have already covered 53% more playing Pokémon GO than in 2017. In a recent international survey of 2,000 coaches, we found that 70 % felt that playing Pokémon GO had made them walk. more on average, and 64% said that playing the game made them go out.

"In addition, 47% of trainers reported feeling that their level of physical activity had increased since the game and the same number felt that playing Pokémon GO had helped them connect with others." .

"This type of community response reinforces our commitment not only to creating innovative games in the real world, but also to investing in features such as Adventure Sync, which provides a gentle but effective motivational loop that encourages people to come out. and to be active every day. .

"The new gaming system will be synchronized in the background with iOS HealthKit and Android Google Fit, and will give players access to a weekly summary highlighting walking distance and other statistics, including including calories burned or steps counted, if their device makes them available.

"Adventure Sync will give trainers the ability to apply their activity and movements to their daily commute, walk around the city for lunch or run for Pokémon GO at night for great rewards.

"Although coaches are regularly rewarded in Candy found by Buddy Pokémon or Eggs will hatch more effectively, they will also be able to participate in the weekly steps of the walk that will reward them for their hard work."
