Do you sometimes lack coins in Pokémon GO? Then a potential new feature could make you very happy soon.
Where do the insights come from? With the new APK update, some new data has entered the game. The data miners from Pokeminers (via Reddit) have taken a closer look at everything and uncovered many interesting features from the code.
So it is a data leak that should be taken with caution. When and if the features go live is currently still open – but in the past, the leaks have proven to be reliable.
A new way to get coins?
This is what the leak contains: One of the most interesting points of the current leak addresses the possibility that a new type of quest could be introduced. This would be a kind of coin quest. The data miners found the following line in the code:
TotalPokecoinReward(QuestProto quest)
DAILY_COIN_QUEST
Earlier a data leak hinted at such a possibility. Now it appears that the signs are pointing to such a feature. “It really looks like daily coin quests,” the Pokeminers explain in their post.
What would this feature mean? Those who do not want to buy coins usually only get them by taking and subsequently defending gyms. Additionally, there is a coin limit of 50 daily coins.
If coin quests do come into the game, it would mean a new opportunity for trainers to secure coins. With this, they could buy more missing Poké Balls, take boxes with them or expand their space for Pokémon and items.
What else is included? Besides the hint at new costumes and additional quests, a new loading screen has also been found. It shows a small section of a forest and several Pokémon. This fits a bit better to the current season than the current winter theme:
A large part of Pokémon GO is currently designed more for home than for forests and similar places. This is reflected in various changes:
