<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/span> <\/figure>\n Niantic has responded to stories {that a} current replace to Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em> is inflicting flashing pictures that would trigger photosensitive gamers to endure potential hurt. The developer replied to varied shops explaining that they’re working \u201cas shortly as attainable\u201d to appropriate the problem.<\/p>\n The difficulty was first reported on The Silph Street Reddit<\/span>, explaining that when gamers tapped on a Pok\u00e9mon to catch it, there was a \u201cbrilliant white flash\u201d when it transitions to the seize display. One participant with epilepsy reported that it was inflicting them to get sick as they performed, saying they have been \u201cindicators of a[n] incoming seizure.\u201d<\/p>\n Others shortly responded saying they\u2019d observed the distinction too, with others reporting they’d seizures after taking part in. After this was picked up by websites like ComicBook<\/em><\/span>, <\/em>Niantic responded with statements explaining it was because of a current change within the recreation that \u201caltered the transition time between screens.\u201d They added that they’re desiring to push an replace \u201cthis week\u201d to repair it.<\/p>\n It\u2019s price noting this isn\u2019t the primary time photosensitive gamers have reported points with flashing white transitions in Pok\u00e9mon Go<\/em>. A 12 months in the past one other related report was made<\/span> on the considerably much less Niantic-approved Pok\u00e9mon Go Spoofing Reddit, once more with others reporting the identical situation.<\/p>\n Being solely photo-insensitive, I hadn\u2019t observed any distinction within the transitions, which at all times appear tiresomely glitchy to me, however clearly it is a strong warning to these susceptible to seizures to perhaps avoid the sport till after the weekend. Which sucks, what with its being the Solstice occasion within the recreation proper now, alongside the pride-adjacent A Seven-Coloured Shadow particular analysis.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
