Niantic, producers Pokémon Go , joined the Knights - Foundation Multi - commitment of one year to promote the participation of citizens in the communities. This means that the two units start in time, money and many Pokémon to citizens, their towns to explore in the city organized events.
"We are techno-optimists Ritter Foundation," says VP Sam Gill Foundation. "We were pleased to see someone who had apparently cracked the code on how to use this feature to all that leads around and interact with each other. "
"They are very interesting features of the community," said John Hanke, general manager of Niantic "People should educate as they discover their civic pride. "
Niantic want these experiences to expand a new option that allows the Community, their own historical and cultural PokéStops add.
"It's a small thing, to find a corner or cranny of the city. , , But this little thing magnified by many, many people is very important, "says Hanke. "We will continue to work on our side more often there. "

During a decade of work in companies of Silicon Valley, and the apartment - forms of development such as Google Maps and Google Earth, a leading travel 2.5 hours per day from the East Bay Mountain View and cities nearby. One day he sat down and did the math and realized that there are literally wasted on the way to work for a year on their car, enjoy a moment of it. Then drive during a day of "unity of the bike," Hanke chose the Google office instead of San Francisco.
