Pokemon Go for Apple Watch was announced at Apple's iPhone 7 event earlier this year. And now it may be nearer. The official PokemonGo Twitter account tweeted, "Pokémon Go for Apple Watch is coming soon. Stay tuned,"
It seems that what Niantic showed off during Apple's event was "unfinished" as per sources speaking to 9to5Mac. Odd considering it was described as companion app touting features such as being able to tap the Apple Watch as you approached a PokeStop.Pokémon Go for Apple Watch is coming soon.

"At this point, Niantic hasn’t offered up any details as to why it ceased development of the Pokémon Go Apple Watch application," writes 9to5Mac's Chance Miller. Given that wearables have had a rough quarter barring the Apple Watch makes this move all the more perplexing.
Earlier in the week, Pokemon Go finally hit India on Android and iOS in partnership with Reliance Jio. This was followed by a festive update, allowing players to catch special edition Pikachu and Pokemon from games like Pokemon Gold and Silver.
While most of the original 151 Pokemon were present when Pokemon Go first hit, others such as Mewtwo, Zapdos, and Mew were unavailable. Some of these, such as Ditto could be caught from last month. It will be interesting to see how many more are added.
