Pokemon GO players have expressed their frustration with the latest update from Niantic, the developer of the popular mobile game. The update introduced a new upgrade related to postcards, which many players found unnecessary and underwhelming. Niantic regularly releases updates for Pokemon GO, offering players new activities and rare creatures to capture.
Postcards have long been a social feature in Pokemon GO, allowing players to send gifts to each other. When players interact with a Pokestop, they receive a gift that can be sent to a friend along with a postcard featuring a picture of the Pokestop. In December 2021, Pokemon GO introduced the Postcard Book, enabling players to collect and keep a memory of the postcards they received from friends or obtained from visited Pokestops. However, postcards have no in-game advantage and serve primarily as a glimpse of real-life locations.
