The Pokemon GO went from an upgrade after another upgrade that made the game more intense and a lot exciting. This time, the game would give attention to the circles labeled in the information page of the player's character, the achievement badges.
The game recently gave rise to numerous updates according to articles, but achievement badges made a great noise in the online world.
According to CNET, the badges are specially given to players who put an effort to level up in the game. To complete the badges in catching types of Pokemon only means a great opportunity to have a catch bonus.
Catch bonus, for everyone's information, can help you in getting a rare Pokemon. The badges functioned less before the phone updates.
All achievement badges imply certain levels. And as what they say, the higher the level you would get, the better the catch bonus given to you. It has Bronze (+1 catch bonus), Silver (+2 catch bonus) and Gold (+3 catch bonus). In order to experience level ups, players must catch Pokemons of the same type.
For bronze level, players should catch 10 Pokemons.
For silver level, players should catch 50 Pokemons.
For gold level, players should catch 200 Pokemons.
The phone update, as reiterated by the source, made it possible for players determine what Pokemon Type they caught. An icon is the determinant of the said incident:
- Green bug icon = bug-type
- Grey circle icon = normal-type
- Purple wing icon = flying-type
- Pink ring-shaped icon = poison-type
- Drop of water icon = water-type
- Green leaf icon = grass-type
- Mountain icon = ground-type
- Orange flame icon = fire-type
- Lightning bolt icon = electric-type
- Red swirl icon = psychic-type
- Fist icon = fighting-type
- Rock icon = rock-type
- Ghost icon = ghost-type
- Nut icon = steel-type
- Snowflake = ice-type
- Dragon icon = dragon-type
- Star icon = fairy-type
With all of the upgrades happening, this would just make Pokemon Go a lot more interesting and addicting. Please also take note that the badges have their own meaning as well, so better do a great research before you start playing.
