Pokemon GO Update Improves Gym Functionality

//cdn.themis-media.com/media/global/images/library/deriv/1344/1344820.jpg
Pokemon GO's Team Leaders now have a bit more of an active role in the game.

small update [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/tag/view/pokemon%20go?os=pokemon+go] to the game aims to improve the gym experience for new players, as well as giving the game's three "Team Leaders," who are only ever glimpsed as silhouettes upon reaching level 5, a bit more of an active role.

The new feature is called "Pokemon Appraisal." Upon entering a gym, the player's respective Team Leader (Candela, Blanche or Spark) will tell the player about the defending Pokemon's attack and defense capabilities, and offer suggestions on which of the player's own Pokemon to send into battle.

It's a small update to be sure but it does slightly alleviate one of the more frustrating parts of the game, particularly for players new to the whole Pokemon thing who are unaware of type-weaknesses.

Your assertion is incorrect - I can assure you that is by far the best. [sub][sub][sup][sup]Also Candela is best girl[/sup][/sup][/sub][/sub]

They should include this Type Chart in the Pokedex for people to reference - http://blogs-images.forbes.com/insertcoin/files/2016/07/go-chart-1200x623.jpg

Now we just need to see if Niantic embraces the fan interpretations of characters. Spark the Memelord would make gym battles more fun.

It's always so cute the way you instinct folks try to compete.

Well if I'm remembering the episode correctly team Instinct had the least to do with causing a bus crash, that seems like a moral high ground right?

If you haven't crashed a motor vehicle while catching them all then you aren't trying hard enough.

Valor are dicks,

Mystic are dicks, but less dickish than Valor

Yeah, Instinct is the best, because Zapdos is the best. Unlike the two other trash-birds. XP
