If you have consistent weather, you’re in a region that’s going to over time develop much stronger Pokémon of those types.” “So if you have a large number of different climates, you’ll have a large number of different map states. “Everyone is always in a steady state of whatever the local geography is,” Slemon said.
The way Slemon and Archit Bhargava, global product marketing lead at Niantic, described the weather system is that its impact will be most deeply felt by serious gym battlers who use the effects to “sort of min-max their teams.” But players who live in more stable, predictable climates will also be able to gain something from the update. Likewise, the ice-type Snorunt is much easier to capture when it’s snowing outside, and it will come with higher combat power as well. If you head toward a Raid Battle manned by a Charizard, for example, and it’s really sunny outside, you’ll want to be careful - fire-type monsters like Charizard get an attack boost thanks to strong sunshine. Similar to how the mechanic worked in the Game Boy Advance games, Pokémon Go’s weather system will boost the combat power of certain Pokémon depending on if it’s raining, snowing or sunny. Hoenn was heavily influenced by the world around it, we took all of that as pretty hefty inspiration.” “It was the first Pokémon game that introduced weather affecting the world itself. “Fans of Ruby and Sapphire will know that Hoenn brought more than just new Pokémon,” Matt Slemon, product manager at Niantic, told Polygon. They’re joined by a variety of normal- and grass-type monsters, as well as other Pokémon from the Hoenn region that will be most common during particular weather conditions. Niantic has added a dynamic weather system, which impacts the kinds of Pokémon you can find and battle buffs you’ll receive based on what the weather’s like outside.Īmong the Pokémon now available are Treecko, Torchic and Mudkip, the three starter Pokémon from the third-generation games Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire. There are 50 more third-gen Pokémon to collect in Pokémon Go as of its latest update, and with them comes an entirely new game mechanic.
