‘Pokémon Go’ News & Update: New Yelp Filter Helps Players Catch ‘Pokémon’ While They Eat; Stampede of ‘Pokémon Go’ Gamers on Central Park, New York City
ByOn Friday, the American multinational corporation - Yelp, announced the new feature and search filter of "Pokémon Go." Yelp's new search filter will help gamers find out nearby PokéStop location and capture their Pokémon items.
The new feature also lets gamers find out nearby Pokémon-friendly business, bars, stores, and restaurants.
The new search option of Yelp works just like their other filters, just search for a location and browse through the filter options to find PokeStop. Yelp users will then see the stops near their favorite businesses, then they can run errands and at the same time, and players can Catch 'Em All, according to Inquisitr.
Pokémon trainers need to open up the Yelp app or search Yelp.com for businesses with a nearby PokéStop. Then, a means of entering the app can be done by way of smartphone or computer, based on the report of Pulse Headlines.
Yelp's blog post stated that, in pointing out a business that's in the vicinity of a Pokéstop, gamers need to check-in to that location and answer a quick question to let fellow Yelpers and trainers be aware that it is the place they want to be.
The feature of "Pokémon Go" has only been up for grabs for 24 hours, but it already have helped Yelpers to identify thousands of PokeStops in the United States, New Zealand, as well as Australia.
However, "Pokémon Go," which is an augmented reality, mobile game created by Niantics Lab and The Pokémon Company, is now being considered to be the most popular mobile game in history.
On the other hand, this week, two San Diego men walked off a cliff while hunting for the elusive Pokémon characters. Three trainers in Pennsylvania found themselves trapped in a cemetery after closing time.
