Pokemon GO’sSeason of Heritage is about to come to an end next week, but a surprise announcement just led to a major change of plans for the game’s PvP scene. Althoughthe game’s story and PvE eventsare still scheduled to move on to the next in-game season on March 1, apparently the PvP scene is going to have to hold tight for an extra day and the new season’s ratings will be paused.
The announcement comes from Niantic and it seems like thePokemon GOdevelopment team wants some time to put a pause on ratings and focus on a few adjustments to the game’s competitive scene. This means thatthe PvP Season 10 timeframewill technically be extended for just about 24 hours as tweaks are being made and the next season will kick off in the afternoon of March 1.

The biggest shock for most fans is likely going to be that the PvP scene will be pausing ratings during the upcoming new season while adjustments continue. It will be very interesting to see if this impacts any motivation to play or not in the coming monthswhen the new season arrives. Even bigger changes are on the way when the following season arrives, so PvP fan have a lot to consider…
“As we head into the final week of GO Battle League Season 10, we wanted to let you know that the next Season of the GO Battle League will be a change of pace from our usual Seasons. We’ll be pausing ratings during this new Season to allow our development team to focus on GO Battle League adjustments without disrupting competitive play.”

For the next Season
It will be very interesting to see these changes go into effect and hear what reactions the active PvP scene has to them. Niantic has done a pretty good job of responding to player feedback so far and evolving the scene to adjust to what the majority of players are enjoying most. Hopefully the new changes go over well and players continue to engage with the PvP side of the mobile AR game.
