Pokemon GO: Will Darkrai Make An Appearance In December?

Pokemon GO players are anxiously waiting for updates after gen 4 Pokemon were added to the game. At the moment, many of them are awaiting Darkrai, one of the most well-known gen 4 legendaries, who is a Dark-type as well.

There is a big chance that Darkrai will be the next addition to the game, especially since Cresselia was already added to the game, as a Tier 5 raid boss. As you probably know already, Darkrai and Cresselia form the Lunar Duo, a legendary duo based on the moon. Darkrai represents the new moon and Cresselia the crescent moon. Therefore, since its counterpart was already introduced to the game, we are expecting to see Darkrai soon.

It is very likely that we will get more information on December 18, since this is when Cresselia will leave raid battles. This would be the right moment to receive Darkrai, and this introduction would make perfect sense. There are a couple of weeks left, and we can only wait patiently.

Duos and trios

This is not the first duo that is introduced to Pokemon GO. There have been others in the past, and we even received legendary trios. For example, we had the legendary Tower duo with Ho-Oh and Lugia, the weather trio, with Kyogre, Groudon and Rayquaza and the Titan trio, with Registeel, Refice and Regirock.

Each time a duo or a trio was added to the game, its members followed each other closely. This is another reason to believe that Cresselia will be followed by Darkrai. If we take a look at the main series we can remember that Cresselia gives people nice dreams, while Darkrai offers nightmares. Cresselia was caught on the Fullmoon island, while Darkrai was caught on Newmoon island.

Clash of Clans Strategies: Important Things to Remember

Clash of Clans is full of strategies and tactics that can help you in getting to the next level. We chose some of them to write this article about:

Dark Elixir Bank

From the moment when the housing space for Wallbreakers increases to the 2 level, you could see the Dark Elixir Troops found their way to the game, with Dark Elixir Barracks. When you upgrade the troops to their highest level, you can bank over 3k Dark Elixir, but even if you’re at a lower level, you could get some liquid. However, be careful, cause farming this elixir is not that easy, so you need to protect everything that you can.

In case they quit…

…and you find abandoned villages, you should know you have found gold. They’re super fun and they also represent the most important part of farming – it’s quite a good strategy. There are many hints – obvious or more subtle. You need to get to know them all to search them in those 30 seconds worth of free inspection time. You can find resources that would look best with you and they’re probably from the collectors, which you now that are easy to get.

Look for:

Tombstones. This is a sign that someone else has drilled the base, and that traps have been sprung. Some of the chiefs may leave them in order to trick you, but we’re not so sure about that.

League badge. Those of the players who had at least on the win in the last two weeks league will have a League Badge. You’ll see when a new League starts, since your own Badge will be blank, with a dotted line. If you see villages that don’t have a league badge, it means that they don’t attack, or win. Which means they’re not active in the game.

Sleeping builders. This game is all about upgrading things – and they do get upgraded, but very slow. So it might be unusual to see an active player that does not have builders busy. You need to look for the “zzz” placed above the builder’s hut. If they’re all asleep, it means that the chief has been gone for a really long time.

Turn On Night Mode on Android One UI

The One UI is based on the Android operating system and it comes with minor changes in order to adapt it for the Samsung devices. The new One UI will bring all the features of Android Pie and it is no secret that Samsung users are excited to get it.

If you already have the update, you probably tried out all the new functions. One of the highly anticipated ones remains the Dark Mode. In this article we are going to show you how to turn it on.

Activating it

Once you have the Android Pie update on your device, it should take you less than a minute to turn on the Dark Mode. You need to swipe down to the top so that you can use the quick toggles. On the second page you will find the toggle for the Night mode. You can turn it on from there.

It is also possible to turn on the Dark Mode from settings. You have to open the Settings App and enable the feature from the Display menu. You can also turn it off easily, with just one tap.

The Dark Mode

The Dark Mode was announced with the first Pie builds. This mode is something that most mobile users wish for, as it comes with several advantages. First of all, it is a lot better for our eyes, especially during night time. And while some users prefer it for the way it looks, it has a practical aspect as well. Devices with AMOLED panels are able to conserve battery once this mode is turned on.

The Dark Mode became available for Samsung after the first Pie beta was launched this week. The Night Mode is efficient and it is very simple to turn it on.

Decide Which App Maker Suits Your Business

An online presence is essential for any business nowadays. However, simply creating a website might not be enough, you might want to create an app for your business. It is very simple to come up with your own app since there are plenty of tools available, and many of them can be purchased at a low price (or even for free). Here’s what you should know before you choose one.

App makers

There are different types of app makers. For example, you could choose to create an app for your customers so you need a customer facing app maker. These apps are perfect for restaurants or retail stores. However, you might want to create a game app, and for this, you will need a game app maker.

Finally, there are also app makers that will help you build apps for your employees. Such an app is great if you want to enhance communication between your employees and increase productivity.

Types of apps

There are different types of apps that you can create. For example, you can choose a native app. These apps can be downloaded by users, but before they become available to the public you need to submit them to the publisher so they can get approved. You also have to decide whether you want to create an iOS app or an Android one.

There are also web apps which are available online. Basically, they are the mobile version of your website. The only difference here is that they require a certain coding platform such as HTML 5, CSS or Java.

Finally, hybrid apps are made using a coding platform and then they are later converted to an app format. They can be downloaded from app stores just like native apps.

Blizzard could be Working on a new Warcraft Game Inspired by Pokemon Go

Pokemon Go is probably one of the most successful games ever released. The phenomenon is not surprising if we consider an important detail – it’s hard to resist all those cute creatures waiting to be discovered. After seeing its success, other developers are trying to create similar games for mobile, but it remains to be seen if they will manage to step on Pokemon Go’s footsteps.

Blizzard seems to be the first development company willing to follow Niantic Labs’ example. Even if the announcement about Diablo Immortal’s launch on mobile wasn’t well received, the team isn’t planning to give up on their idea.

According to Kotaku, the company is currently working on a mobile version for Warcraft and the new initiative is inspired by Pokemonn Go. The department involved in this work is the one behind Immortal and they promise to create a game which can revolutionize the market.

Blizzard doesn’t give up on their first idea – Diablo Immortal 4

One of the reasons which determined Blizzard to start working on the Pokemon Go-like game for mobile is that their lead designer, Cory Stockton, is a big fan of the franchise. Also, the spin-off could produce important revenue which can be used for other projects. Unfortunately, we don’t know anything about the new game and, because it’s work in progress, the team is not willing to share any ideas.

Even if it started to work on a new project, Blizzard won’t give up on the 4th part of Diablo. It looks like the game received a codename – “Fenris” and will feature much darker elements than the 3rd episode of the series. There is still a lot of work to be done, so there is no chance of seeing the game until 2020.
