New updates are being added at the bottom of this story…….
Original story (published on October 15, 2021) follows:
Pokemon Go is a popular augmented reality game developed and published by Niantic in 2016. Since then, this video game has been downloaded by millions of users around the world.
It has gradually become one of the most played AR games available on Android and iOS. But gamers have also reported several issues while playing Pokemon Go and you can check them all in our dedicated tracker.
In a recent development, two new software glitches have come to light where some players are having a visual issue with Nanab Berries and tag icons.
As per reports (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), Nanab Berries render weirdly and appear pink when players try to feed them to Pokemon. These berries are now shown in 2D format rather than 3D with just a purple shape, while other fruits are shown as usual.
On the other hand, tag icons that appear on the left side of Pokemon’s name are misplaced. They have shifted too much that some of them are only visible half.
The image below shows how tag icons are misplaced:
According to some players, these issues have started to show up after recent Pokemon Go update. Also, these are widespread issues affecting gamers on a large scale.
On the brighter side, Niantic Help has acknowledged these bugs and said that they are currently under investigation. Moreover, the support team assured users of a fix as soon as possible.
However, no ETA has been provided as to when exactly gamers will get rid of these visual issues. We hope that these annoying issues get sorted out soon.
Unfortunately, there is no temporary workaround available at the moment besides the usual re-installing or clearing cache which isn’t helping either.
All in all, you’ll have to wait for Niantic to fix these Nanab Berries and tag icon issues. That said, we will keep you informed when anything comes to our notice.
Update 1 (October 25)
IST 05:08 pm: Niantic has confirmed that the team has fixed the issue where the tag icon was spaced too far away from Pokémon name in Pokédex.
