Pokémon Go 0.37.0 Includes Pokémon Go Plus Support
Pokémon Go’s latest update brings the app to version 1.7.0 for iOS and 0.37.0 for Android. Trainers can walk with their Pokémon and gain candies to help the Pokémon grow further with the new Buddy System.
Another interesting find is Pokémon Go Plus support that came with this update. Here is Niantic’s official announcement for the update.
Pokémon GO is in the process of being updated to version 0.37.0 for Android and 1.7.0 for iOS devices. Below are some release notes and comments from our development team.
- Implemented Buddy Pokémon: Trainers will now be able to choose one of their Pokémon to be their buddy. A Trainer can earn Candy for their Buddy Pokémon by walking a certain distance.
- Made it easier to select smaller Pokémon on the screen.
- Fixed an issue where Eggs would sometimes hatch without displaying the animation.
- Improved performance reliability when a device switches networks to no longer cause the application to hang or stop updating.
- Pokémon GO Plus support
- Minor text fixes.
We continue to focus on eliminating bots and scrapers from Pokémon GO. Rooted or jailbroken devices are not supported by Pokémon GO. Remember to download Pokémon GO from the official Google Play Store or iTunes App Store only.
Pokémon Go 0.37.0 Blocks Rooted Devices
Pokémon Go version 0.37.0 is a solid update with the Buddy System added in. But it is not all good news as rooted Android devices (and jailbroken iOS devices) are now blocked from loading the game.
For those that is unaware, cheating and spoofing your location is rather easy on a rooted Android device. However, I could imagine that a large portion of the people that would be blocked from the game does not cheat but will be blocked nonetheless.
It is unclear how long version 0.35.0 will still work with rooted devices, but sooner or later Niantic will block trainers running pre 0.37.0 from loading the game.
If a rooted Android device tries to load the latest version of Pokémon Go, the following welcome screen will be displayed.
Pokémon Go 0.37.0 Added Buddy System
Pokémon Go has came out with version 0.37.0 for Android and 1.7.0 for iOS and one of the more interesting feature in this update is the Buddy System.
Buddy System
Now you can walk with a Pokémon and get candy of its type while doing so. Just like hatching eggs, rarer Pokémon will need more km registered in order to be rewarded.
How Does The Buddy System Work?
- Trainers are limited to one buddy Pokémon at any one time
- Traveling a set distance will be rewarded with a candy of that Pokémon type
- 1 km
- 2 km
- 3 km
- Pokémon buddy cannot be assigned to gyms
- There are four different buddy size categories
- Medium
- Big
- Shoulder
- Flying
