Pokemon GO Update: Nintendo is Focusing On Users Safety With New Device

With the launch of the new gaming app, Pokemon GO, people literally went crazy. Gamers, from kids to adults revived their old memories with the game that once used to be the television anime hit of the early 2000s. Even adults and parents got very much curious when such game became a handy for the kids.

It gained much controversy too with the banning of the game in some countries like the Middle East and eastern countries. The app was obviously developed for gaming but somehow it might have not worked out strategically in the way that its developers expected. From all around the globe accidents occurred when gamers were busy finding pokemons at the middle of the roads and other dangerous places. The game itself contains a reminder to players to be mindful of their surroundings while playing the game.

That is why recently, The Pokémon Company President Tsunekazu Ishihara said in an interview with Nikkei Asian Review that The Pokémon Company and Nintendo are looking into developing a device that will allow the Pokémon Go smartphone game to be played more safely.

The Pokemon company and Nintendo developed the app as an outdoor game to get more involved outside rather than staying indoor but due to its due to the danger that people might walk into it came up with another feature where the players do not have to look down always at their smartphone screens. Even the name will be renamed to Pokemon GO Plus.

This new feature called Pokemon GO Plus will come with an accessory, a wristband that allows players to capture nearby Pokémon without relying on their phones as said by Anime News Network.

With the title seeing other upgrades that could help players, such as improved GPS tracking, there's certainly room for Pokemon GO players to enjoy a safer experience when playing the game.
