Last Monday (10), Ashibetsu police, a city in Japan, arrested Kento Sato, a 56-year-old man, for allegedly assaulting a 55-year-old acquaintance in a dispute over a gym in Pokmon Go, an augmented reality mobile game. from Niantic, a software developer.
According to the police, Sato got ready for a parking lot near the office where he works when he realized that the local Pokmon Go gym was being attacked by someone else. The man was used to dominating the area.
Sato did not take long to identify the opponent in a car and grabbed him by the window of the vehicle. In addition, the man kicked the vehicle’s rear-view mirror.

To the surprise of the police, the two players said that they had known each other for a few years, precisely because of Pokmon Go.
To understand Sato’s revolt, I need to remember that, to win pokmoedas, I need to master a gym in the game gym. Although Niantic is launching new modalities for the conquest of pokmoedas, such novelties have not yet reached Japan.
Game will stop working on 32-bit phones
As of this month, the Android version of Pokmon Godeixe to work on smartphones with 32-bit processors. The change will mainly affect those who still use older smartphones to play games, especially those that came from the factory with Android 5.0 or earlier.
According to Niantic, “in a next update to Pokmon Go in early August 2020, we will end support for 32-bit Android devices. By removing support for 32-bit Android devices, we will be able to streamline our development process and focus on resources for support for newer operating systems and technologies. “
Among the affected devices the company cites the Samsung GalaxyS4 and S5, Note 3 and J3, Moto G of first generation, Sony Xperia Z2 and Z3 and “many devices launched before 2015”. IOS users won’t have to worry, since the Apple platform stopped supporting 32-bit applications and processors in 2017.
