Pokémon Go developer Niantic has said it has no current plans to remove the option of battling in raids from afar – a popular mechanic introduced in response to Covid lockdowns.
“That’s a unique experience that we’re setting up just for these extra bonuses in Community Day,” Pokémon Go game director Michael Steranka told me today, referring to the bonuses players will get to extend their local Community Day experience by taking part in the game’s new in-person-only event raids.
