Even though the hype of "Pokémon Go" has died down, there are still some trainers around the world who are aiming to capture every creature that is available in the Pokedex. A third party app would be able to help players find the exact location of a certain Pokémon.

The developers behind the hit mobile app, Niantic Labs, have shut down a third-party app recently called FastPokeMap. The reason why the company is doing this kind of action is because they consider it as cheating. Moreover, players who are using those third party apps may result in a temporary ban. However, there is still an app that players can use as an accurate Pokémon tracker without harming their account.

The app called GoBro works by crowdsourcing maps and information in order for trainers to gain an exact location of a Pokémon. Another great feature about this app is the locations of the creatures are very accurate which would lead to expanding the roster of creatures that the trainer has collected. Furthermore, it has been reported that the Pokémon tracker is only available on iOS so far, but it will soon be released on Android phones as well.

On the other hand, there are suggestions that the next for the mobile app will include tons of new features. In order to get the players back on the hype, the developers might include a trading system. It would be easier for players from other countries to obtain the creatures that are not available in their own country. For example, Farfetch'd is only available in Japan, and this indicates that trainers from other regions can obtain the creature via trading.

There is no definite release date yet for the next update of "Pokémon Go," but it is anticipated to arrive this coming December.
