"Kicking off Sept. 18, Advent of the Exploration Base introduces the concept of bases to the game. Niantic Games tested the idea over the summer and incorporated player feedback to improve it. Originally, Exploration Bases were designed to foster more face-to-face interactions with players. Players would grab emblems from their travels and deposit them in a singular spot in a neighborhood."
"BASE BUILDINGIt's a combination of postcards, gyms and showcases from Pokemon Go. Emblems taken from Gathering Points act as postcards and the Exploration Bases are the node points where players meet together a la gyms. As players add more emblems, the base expands. It creates a central point that makes players feel like they're building toward a goal together and also competing as in showcases."
Advent of the Exploration Base season begins Sept. 18 and adds Exploration Bases where players deposit emblems gathered from Gathering Points to build and expand communal bases. The system blends postcard-style emblems and node-based meeting points similar to gyms and showcases, encouraging face-to-face interaction and cooperative competition. Niantic tested the feature over the summer, removed personal data from emblems for privacy, and added remote check-ins so players can contribute to multiple bases. New emblems reward slaying ten large monsters and distant emblems carry extra weight. Bases run three-week cycles with a monster outbreak and end with evaluations and contributor rewards such as item box expansions.
