Pokémon GO may temporarily adjust some gameplay features around Osaka’s Namba area on Nov. 14-15, the game’s team said in an official gameplay notice.
The possible changes coincide with an in-person event for another mobile game in Namba during Pokémon GO Wild Area: Global. The notice does not name the other game or specify which Pokémon GO features may change, leaving the exact gameplay impact unclear.
The team encourages Trainers to explore other parts of Osaka and stay aware of their surroundings, while respecting local businesses and residents.
If you’re in Osaka for Wild Area: Global, would possible changes around Namba send you to another part of the city? Follow X, Bluesky, YouTube, Instagram, Steam, and Telegram for more on the Osaka notice and the Wild Area weekend.
