Pokémon Go update brings NPC trainer battles, plus a fun contest

January 6, 2021 by systems



If you wanted Pokémon Go to become a little more like a traditional Pokémon game, then you’re in luck. Niantic, the game’s developer, is adding Ai-controlled trainers to the game give players more chances to battle.

Players are going to get their first taste of this during the Pokémon Go Tour: Kanto event. This is a worldwide event that players can buy tickets to experience more monsters and quests for a day in the game. The event runs on February 20th.

During the event, players will begin to see other computer-controlled trainers that they can seek out and battle. You’ll be able to fight these Non-player characters (NPCs) even if you didn’t buy a ticket for the Kanto event.

To make this new feature even more fun, Niantic will hold a contest on Twitter starting on January 11th to add a lucky player’s character to the game as an NPC.

To enter the contest, you need a screenshot of your character profile that includes your trainer name and shows off your avatar’s outfit—a list of three Kanto-based Pokémon who would make up your team and the #PokemonGOTourContest in your tweet. Then post your entry on Twitter to get a chance to win.

There’s no mention as to when Niantic is going to pick the winner.
