According to the Guinness World Records, the game has the highest revenue earned in its first month of operation. It attained $206.5 million of revenue in its first month of operations. It also broke another record as the most downloaded game in its first month. 

The game was an ideal project for Niantic. Niantic is a game developing company based in San Francisco, United States. It specializes in augmented reality application and game development. It was primarily established as an internal startup under Google. Google Earth and Google Maps were Niantic's projects with Google before it employed the AR technology with Pokemon Go.

Approximately three and a half years after its launch, Pokemon Go's administrators are still active in updating and upgrading the game for its fans. In the Pokemon Go Live website, it had already posted its series of Pokemon Go events and special features for January 2020. 

One of these events and features include the 'Special Research.' It is specially made to assist Professor Willow and the other leaders of teams to beat Team Rocket. 

Pokemon Go Hacks 

The Original 'trackers' and 'scanners' of Pokemon Go had laid low. However, there are still a good number of Pokemon Go player communities in different areas to help you identify places of special events and other features of the game.

One of the most reliable local Pokemon Go Community is 'The Silp Road.' This is a place where Pokemon Go players and communities from different parts of the world are gathered. In there, players can visit communities near their areas. Players of the game can communicate with other players in their area and share the latest news and features of the game. There is even a chance that a player may come across a scanner bot for the game.  

This increases the chances of finding new Pokemon in specified places in a player's area.

Tympole, Trubbish, Shelmet, and Karrablast are just some of the 5th Generation Pokemon that players will be found in the wild. This means that players will now be able to get access to the evolved versions of these Pokemons.
