Yesterday, after a avalanche of news for flagships From the Cupertino company, iPhone7 and 7 Plus, as well as the long-awaited Apple Watch series 2, we could also see encouraging news and small details in the more than 2 hours of duration.
In that keynote, which took place in the auditorium Bill Graham, in San Francisco, presented additional novelties, such as a new game of Mario Bros (Mario Bros Run), and news for Pokemon Go. After a brief introduction by Tim Cook, Jeff Williams, founder and Niantic CEO, went up on stage. With John Hanke, revealed the details about the next big move for this massive game: a new application for the Apple Watch.
In this way, from now on we can play this popular game anywhere in the world using only our watch, without having to take our mobile from our pocket.
From it, you can incubate eggs, spot nearby pokemons, interact with the different "pokeparadas" that we find on our way, as well as know the distance traveled that the application adds. Everything from our wrist.
From the main screen of the application, you can also see the levels of each of the pokemons that are part of our team, as well as the XP. We can see the distance traveled on foot, as well as the calories expended during the process. "Without a doubt, a way to encourage sport for the more sedentary", - claimed its developers.
The only downside to Pokemon Go - at the moment - is that We will not be able to catch the pokemons that we see with the Watch itself, for this we still have to take out our Smartphone. However, the simple fact of spotting the pokemon that is close to us will already be a luxury.
As reported by the Hanke in Keynote pass:
"This new feature will be on the Apple Watch, along with an update to the iPhone app, before the end of the year."
