Pokémon GO will also feature daily challenges
Although the Pokémon GO Halloween Event has only just begun, it seems that Niantic is clear that he must use everything he has at hand to win back the players he has been losing since this summer And it is that the collapse in the number of downloads and active users has been more than notable for a couple of months. And if they don't want to lose those who remain, and more importantly, those who remain and pay for the content, they have to motivate them to play daily.As? Very simple: with daily events.
This was discovered in Pokémon GO Hub, a website where they usually analyze in detail each new title update to find out everything that the application brings, and also what is not counted. In this way they have come across references in the hexacode (the guts) of the update that clearly shows the intentions of Niantic of creating daily events to reward those players who complete certain tasks each and every day. Will this be motivation enough for players to put on their shoes and go out and catch Pokémon?
At the moment little is known about it, and it is not really tempting. However, considering that it's still hidden in the code, hopefully they'll work on the idea and build on it in the coming weeks or months until they create something really exciting.What has been found has been the mention of “daily challenges” (daily quests), and a couple of lines that clearly specify “First Catch of the Day” and “First PokeStop of the Day”. Issues that suggest trainers will have rewards or, at least, they will collect the information of the first Pokémon caught and the first PokéStop collected of the day If this is rewarded with extra candy or coins, it is for now a mystery.
Along with these references, in Pokémon GO Hub they have also found a couple more mentions that suggests that these daily challenges will be something deeper. Questions like “current streak counter” also hint that there might be rewards for completing a certain number of daily challenges over a period of time certainSomething that would be a real motivation for the players most involved in hunting Pokémon A good reason not to take walks solely to wear out shoes or fill the Pokémon backpack.
Rewards are unknown at this time. However, at Pokémon GO Hub they dare to think that pokéballs, potions and other products are easy to get without paying real moneywould be the prize for achieving a good streak of challenges or completing them in their entirety. Something that, for now, are only speculations.
No wonder Niantic is preparing second options to try and re-engage their players. However, we will still have to wait and see how the Halloween event works to see if these types of tools are enough to entertain the public. Meanwhile, die-hard players continue to demand radically different features: trading Pokémon, trading items, battling other trainers, and so on.
