Razer Developers Develop Communication Application for Pokémon Go

Pokémon Go has dominated the mobile marketplace, creating havoc and unity for anyone exposed to the addictive game. Now, Razer is taking Pokémon Go another step forward by offering players the ability to communicate with one another without exiting the application.

The messaging application will work with both iOS and Android devices and support various chat modes, including team colors, because we know how passionate Pokémon Go players have become about which team they're on.

The chat rooms will let users drop beacons, enabling RazerGo users to interact with them. Players can choose from public, team, and whisper.

A local mode will allow Pokémon Go users to speak with players within a 3-mile radius; a regional option with a 60-mile radius; and, finally, a global option for all Pokémon Go users.

When talking to Polygon about the application, Razer made it clear that their application isn't officially part of Pokémon Go and has no affiliation with Nintendo or its developer, Niantic Labs.

The web version will be available tonight at 10 P.M. ET, and the mobile version will be available on July 25.
