Grazie ad alcuni fan del sito Pokémon Fortress, siamo riusciti a scoprire alcuni segreti di Pokémon GO, titolo dedicato ai mostriciattoli Nintendo disponibile su Android ed iOS.
Analizzando il codice del gioco, i collaboratori del portale sono riusciti a scovare alcuni segreti e a rispondere ad alcune domande che si sono posti gli utenti da quando hanno installato il gioco sui propri cellulari: il level cap di ogni allenatore è fissato al livello 40 e per raggiungere questo tetto, una volta arrivati al livello 39, i giocatori avranno bisogno di accumulare ben 5 milioni di punti esperienza.
Un’enormità, se si considera che i punti necessari per raggiungere il livello 39 dall’inizio dell’avventura ammontano a 15 milioni. In totale, dunque, per raggiungere il level-cap sono necessari 20 milioni di punti XP, e se si considera che in media si riescono a ottenere 100.000 punti al giorno, ci vorrà parecchio tempo prima di raggiungere il tetto massimo.
Nel database del gioco compare la Master Ball, che probabilmente servirà per catturare uno dei Pokémon leggendari, come Mewtwo, Moltres, Zapdos e Articuno. Il processo di data-mining ha inoltre confermato che Farfetch’d e Ditto sono presenti nel database e sono fra i Pokémon nascosti da qualche parte del globo. Ogni Pokémon, infine, possiede un proprio rate di spawn, cattura e fuga.
Di seguito vi riportiamo tutti i segreti scovati dai ragazzi di Pokémon Fortress (in lingua originale):
- The Trainer Level Cap is 40.
- Egg’s cap at Level 20, so if you get an Egg at Level 37 it’ll still hatch at the same quality as if you were level 20.
- Wild Pokémon cap at Level 30, meaning after Level 30 everyone will find the same max CP Pokémon and it’ll be a matter of spending the candy and stardust to upgrade them to your level’s cap based on their CP arc.
- There is an achievement/badge rank above gold.
- Curveballs and Accurate Throws (Nice, Great, Etc) have been confirmed as helping with the capture chance of a Pokéball throw.
- There may be future Incubators that reduce the amount of kilometers needed before they hatch. (There is an incubator called “distance” in the code)
Moves have an Accuracy and a Critical Hit Rate. - Each unique Pokémon has it’s own Capture and Flee rate.
- Move Damage may go up with Trainer Level.
- Pokémon do become harder to catch as you level up.
- Mewtwo, Moltres, Zapdos, Articuno are Legendary.
- Mew is Mythic.
- Farfetch’d is out there… somewhere. As is Ditto.
- The Charge Meter is filled 0.5 for each 1 HP of damage dealt. This means a super effective move that does more damage will charge the special attack faster – that is actually really important to know.
- To level from 39 to 40 takes FIVE MILLION EXPERIENCE, and going from 1 to 40 takes Twenty Million. On my best day I can get about one hundred thousand exp, maybe 125k. So that’s like 3-4 months to go from 39 to 40. Won’t be seeing that any time soon!
- Pokémon have a base Attack, Defense and Stamina (HP) – thus they do not have a Attack and Special Attack stat like in the 3DS games.
- Dragonite has the strongest base attack for non-legends, at 250.
- MewTwo has a base attack of 284.
- Moltres has the highest base attack of the three legendary birds.
- Articuno has the highest base defense of the three.
- Zapdos is almost as high as Moltres in base attack but is likely lower due to Type Advantage.
- Pokémon have an evolution modifier AND a HP modifier when they evolve both CP and HP go up a set multiplier.
- Defending Pokémon at a Gym attack every 1.5 seconds.
- The Master Ball is in the game, no clue where it is found.
- The Legendary Pokémon do have a spawn rate – BUT – they have no capture rate, could this mean they require a Master Ball?
- STAB is present in the game, giving a 25% Bonus to an attack move. STAB stands for “Same Type Attack Bonus” and means if a Grass Pokémon uses a Grass move it will hit harder than if a Ground Pokémon used the same Grass move. This is a big deal confirmation.
