In a private Discord server, a member of Pokemon Go’s development team said they’re aware of a glitch dubbed “micro GPS drift” and warned community ambassador leaders that players within their communities will be flagged by the game’s anti-cheat systems moving forward. Micro GPS ...
I know I said in one of my previous columns this summer that I have been trying to get back into card collecting, especially Pokemon. That hasn’t exactly gone to plan; it’s still incredibly difficult to find places outside of game stores that carry products that you can purchase at a price that makes the trip worthwhile.

As the sun rose over the Penn State Altoona campus June 28 and 29, several Pokemon Go trainers were out and about for global Go Fest, arguably the game’s best event of the year.

A free version of the pass was given to all players who logged into the game during the Ancients Recovered event, which began Monday. However, in order to earn ...
When I was a kid growing up in the late ’90s, I was big into a hobby that was far from unpopular at the time — collecting cards from the Pokemon trading card game. I was never very into playing the actual card game, and while my little plastic box of rare cards that I had kept has long ...
Last weekend, thousands of Pokemon Go trainers gathered at Liberty State Park in New Jersey for an enjoyable in-person Go Fest event, setting the stage for the global experience in two weeks. Those who purchased a ticket were able to play in Jersey City or any of New York City’s five ...
