Pokemon Go coming to Android wear watches.

It was recently reveled by Niantic labs , creators of the very popular game Pokemon Go, that their game was coming to the Apple watch. However there was no mention of watches powered by Android wear and so many android wear users were left staring a their watches in disappointment.

However now the company's CEO , John Hanke, has hinted that the game will also be released on the Android wear platform in the near future. However the answer to questions about the arrival of Pokemon Go on android wear, were not clear and so many were still left wondering whether the game would actually be coming to Android wear.

Expanding out to new platforms will be a key move from Niantic to keep te interest in Pokemon Go alive. The Game might have the records of the fastest mobile game to reach $500 million in revenue and the most downloaded game in the first week of launch but recent reports suggest that interest in the game is slowly decreasing as Niantic did not properly optimize the app for real world usage. Many users experienced bugs and some couldn't even play the game due to the servers crashing all the time.

However the folks at Niantic are not at all worried about this. They say that they can improve the game overtime with future updates improving the overall experience. Th recent update where players can add their favorite Pokemon to their avatar while walking was just the beginning. According to the CEO at Niantic, Once the game is launched worldwide, we'll be seeing a new feature called events. This feature would allow trainers to catch even more Pokemon now as the Pokemon count has been increased from a total of 150.  Another feature that will release in future updates is the player vs player Pokemon battles. Battling other players outside of gyms is a huge part of the Pokemon universe and Niantic made a mistake by not including this feature in the game initially when it launched.

John Hanke,  did not make it clear on when we would be seeing these awesome features and this still remains a mystery. He did however say that the current version of the game was just the tip of the iceberg" for his vision on where he wants the game to go and that he thinks "it will change substantially over the years".
