Niantic is obviously doing some tweaks on “Pokemon Go” as we speak and a lot of them may have already been implemented with most players unaware. In mid-August, Game & Guide did report of notable differences to “Pokemon Go”. That included tweaked capture rates that result in wasted Pokeballs.
According to Kotaku, the adjustments could be part of something to ramp up in-game sales – buying Pokeballs from the shop to be more precise. Niantic denied having adjusted anything and blamed it all on an alleged glitch. This had to do with a bug tied up to the throw accuracy which they allegedly fixed.
Save the PokeBalls
The fact is that “Pokemon Go” players need Pokeballs to capture the elusive critters. While most would likely collect them from PokeStops, the fact remains that many didn’t really mind the numbers until the unusual changes tied up to throws and catches have slowly taken shape.
Seemingly abundant at first, “Pokemon Go” players may have noticed that PokeStops do not regularly give out Pokeballs as much as before. In fact, there would be times when you get nothing at all.
So now, “Pokemon Go” players need to be wise when using their Pokeballs. They are not unlimited meaning it could reach a point where gamers run on empty.
Hence, it may be wise to use them wisely and take aim of those Pokemon characters to the best of your ability. Select the critters you want to get hold off and save up for bigger captures in the future.
Somehow, going down this route is not exactly what players would want particularly for the ones who have that ‘catch them all’ attitude. But with the game being tweaked and Pokeballs slowly gaining importance, the only recourse is to buy them at the store for uninterrupted play.
Depending on how hardcore of a gamer a person is, some may be doing it as we speak. If not, it could be one reason why the active users have declined.
