It seems that with the arrival of the AirPods to the Apple Store and with Super Mario Run now available to download on our iPhone and iPad, we had no more pending promises for this 2016, but we forgot that in the last Keynote the arrival of the Pokemon GO application for Apple Watch, and despite the absolute silence about the development of this application and the rumors that appeared yesterday that announced the abandonment of the project, the reality is that the very company that brought Pokemon GO to the App Store has confirmed that not only is the project going ahead but that it will also arrive very soon, perhaps fulfilling the promise that it would be available before the end of 2016.
Pokémon Go for Apple Watch is coming soon. Stay tuned.

The rumors that have led to the abandonment of Pokemon GO for Apple Watch began on Reddit, where a user posted an alleged response from Niantic by email in which it was announced that the application had been put on hold without knowing it. if its development would be completed. The spread of the news throughout the internet occurred after 9to5Mac echoed this response, although citing "an anonymous source". The impact has been such that the company itself has come out on Twitter denying its intention to abandon the application and announcing that it will arrive very soon.
During Keynote in September it was announced the arrival of Pokemon GO for Apple Watch before the end of 2016, so this promise may still be fulfilled, although time is running out for it. Great news for the players of the successful Pokemon GO who will be able to use their Apple Watch without having to buy the bracelet that already exists for this purpose and that connects via Bluetooth to our iPhone. We will be awaiting its launch.
