'Pokemon Go' tricks, tips, and cheats: Niantic to launch another event for Thanksgiving; fans still clamoring for an improved tracker tool

A trainer's life is fairly difficult in "Pokemon GO" as the game's tracker has no capabilities whatsoever to pinpoint the exact location of a Pokemon in relation to the trainer's location. As such, fans are clamoring for the company to release a new, updated tracker for the game in order to prevent them from relying on third party tracker applications.

According to Game N Guide, aside from the fact that people will use third party tracking tools as a result, there are lots of other reasons why "Pokemon GO" should improve its tracker and make it a more accurate one. After all, there have been a lot of accidents related to the game lately, as some players involved were just walking around, aimlessly searching for a possibly rare Pokemon.

As such, should Niantic improve the game's existing tracker to the point that the trainer knows exactly where the current nearby Pokemon is located, players will then have fewer chances of walking into dangerous neighborhoods and locales just to catch a Pokemon. Playing the game takes too much attention, after all, so it is not surprising that players will suffer some mishaps while they are distracted by the game.

Meanwhile, according to Slash Gear, while the Halloween event for "Pokemon GO" is now over, there is another event well past the planning stages for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Surprisingly, some of the features from the Halloween event are still available on "Pokemon GO" longer than it should have, but players are encouraged to assume that Niantic will pull them out soon.

On the other hand, the next event will be quite similar to the Halloween one, but so far there are no concrete details just yet. After all, the same article states that their source points out that the planning is not yet complete, and as such players should just wait for further announcements.
