Pokémon Go maker Niantic has abandoned its plans to change how players earn the game's premium PokéCoin currency, after nearly six months of tinkering.
Australian fans were treated as guinea pigs for the trial, begun back in May this year, which replaced a portion of the PokéCoins earned in-game through gym control with tasks for completing other in-game activities.
The rejig was meant to offer alternative routes to gaining the game's coveted daily helping of coins (which otherwise need to be bought with real-world money), potentially benefiting players without regularly turned over gyms nearby.
