'Pokemon GO' latest news update: European Pokemon tours available for $200

Pokemon Go The Pokemon Company/Niantic

With the undeniable popularity of "Pokemon GO," its scale is so huge that it has boosted the economy in the most unexpected ways, like the surge of battery pack demands and the like. Now, one company has jumped at this opportunity and has offered tours in both the United States and Europe for "Pokemon" enthusiasts.

According to Game Rant, Viator is a subset of the well-known travel company Travelocity that currently has an offering of thirteen different tours available for cities around Europe or the U.S. which can either be by car or by foot. These tours can be as short as a 90-minute ride or as long as three hours, depending on the route. Furthermore, some of the driving tours provide onboard Internet to prevent players from having to spend lots of money on mobile data. However, the tours are more likely lacking in electrical outlets, so those participating the tours should still have battery packs with them if they want to finish the tour in its entirety.

These tour routes are aimed to cover a majority of Pokestops as well as some of the best landmarks in the location, and it starts for as low as $18 for a bus tour in Memphis, Tennesse. It can be as high as $246 though, if the players want to go for a private car tour in Vienna, Austria. Additionally, European tours also include highly scenic countries like Bulgaria, Croatia, Germany, Italy and Spain. It is expected for it to expand should business prove to be good.

Meanwhile, Game N Guide reports that Niantic "shuffled" the Pokemon nests of certain locations. A nest refers to a place where the same Pokemon types respawn regularly. As such, with these changes, it could be possible for the tours to get adjustments, but with the scope of these "Pokemon GO" tours, it is expected for it to be unaffected in major ways.
