The Pokemon Go Website announced a new update for Android and iOS and fans of the hyped game seems to be going crazy about it. The news says it has added a lot of notification features and new egg patterns.

According to Game Spot, the egg patterns depend on how far the gamer's Pokemon character has gone. The website also provided a screenshot image of the pattern changes the egg undergoes in Pokemon Go once the player goes 2 kilometers, 5 kilometers and 10 kilometers far.

The updated version for Android is now dubbed 0.43.3 while for iOS, it is on 1.13.3. Along with the new features is an update of the new Pokemon Information Screen. The player will now get notified once the battery goes low. Also, there are patch notes which the players need to take note.

Niantic wrote in the Pokemon Go website that there are four patch notes to identify. One, Professor Willow discovered about the egg patterns which changes depending on how far the trainer goes. Second, Pokemon type icons were added into the Pokemon Information Screen for every Pokemon character. Third, the low battery indicator and lastly are the minor text fixes.

Phone Arena saw another angle to this new update. They said this might be just an introduction of a big Pokemon Go Halloween Event. The sign was found in Pokemon Go's official facebook page where Niantic wrote: "With Halloween around the corner, we anticipate Trainers may encounter more Pokémon in the real world. The AR camera is a great way to capture and share these encounters with your friends!"

According to the website, trainers will only have to wait a few more day whether this speculation is true. Niantic will most probably release the Halloween update on October 31, on the eve of Halloween Season.
