Pokémon GO has recently been updated , preparing above all for the impending Tour of Kanto . Its latest update, in addition to looking at this and other events that Niantic keeps in the bedroom, hides something in its code that is quite interesting for users.
Apparently, the team could be preparing the possibility of changing the shape of Pokémon . Something useful, for example, to be able to switch between the different forms of Deoxys and others like him.
Is the shape change to Pokémon GO looming?
The community of dataminers has come up with this curious finding by exploring the news in the code of the latest Pokémon GO patch. As they collect in ComicBook , it seems that Pokémon like Darmanitan or Giratina have new entries in the code that point to the option to switch between their different forms and appearances . Still, it is completely unknown what criteria Niantic will establish so that players can handle this possibility.
In the main games, the change of shape is based on certain aspects, which can be the weather, the location, the use of certain movements or even carrying or not equipped certain objects. On the other hand, the possibilities of Pokémon GO are somewhat more limited in this sense , and that the game does not stop introducing novelties at the level of mechanics.
It is quite a mystery, although if it goes ahead, it should be something that Niantic clarifies completely to the trainers . The change in shape can be a good incentive for the mobile game, which closed 2020 with its highest revenue figure and which faces the 25th anniversary of Pokémon with great force.
