Pokémon GO is updated and online battles arrive, but they will not be free (at all)

The most anticipated and successful augmented reality Android game since its initial launch in 2016, Pokémon GO, at last it will incorporate one of the characteristics most demanded by the community of trainers and fans of this game developed by Niantic.

Since its inception, Pokémon GO has been updated and Niantic has been increasing its playability little by little, offering us new features and including continuous news. At first the game came out a little green, and we could only capture the pokémon, without having a particularly outstanding gameplay, but at least that kept us entertained for a while, as we captured all the available specimens. After a few months, the Pokémon trades, which turned out to be a much loved and interesting feature by coaches, who were able to complete their pokedex much faster than before. Subsequently, the PvP battles (player vs player) how much it was claimed to be incorporated into the application, but it did not turn out quite as expected.

These PvP battles required to be very close one player to another, besides that it was necessary to have certain level of friendship in the game with our opponent to be able to challenge him, which did not make much sense if what we want is to fight against different people in different places. However, it appears that today, Niantic, has announced that online battles are coming in the GO Fighting League, which will eliminate geographical barriers and allow us to fight against players from all over the world without these limitations involved, but perhaps this time all that glitters is not gold either.

Pay or walk

Participate in the GO Fighting League it won't be free, and if we want to fight in it, we will have two options. On the one hand we have the free option: walk. It will be necessary walk 5 kilometers to unlock 5 online matches, a maximum of 15 per day. If we leave the walking process halfway, we can compensate it with pokémonedas to access the combats. On the other hand, we have the easy route, but from paid. We can buy a special pass from Premium raid, which allow us to access raids or GO Fighting League Premium Tracks.

Taking this into account, it should be noted that update not available yet incorporating these changes into the game, but Niantic announced that the Preseason of the GO Fighting League is already started in phase of pruebas, which will serve as a transitional period to check that all elements of the League are working properly. The preseason of the GO Fighting League will begin with the Super Ball League, then it will go to Ultra Ball League and in the end the League Master Ball, which will be the most difficult of the three, and will rotate every 2 weeks.

While the update is released sometime in early 2020, we can take advantage to capture the specimens from the Unova region that were recently added to the list of pokémons in the game.
