Niantic Buys Company to Add Social Functionality to Pokemon GO

Niantic has acquired the developers behind social media startup Evertoon to help enhance its mobile apps, including Pokemon GO.

Niantic revealed the news in a statement on their company blog from CEO John Hanke.

Hanke explains that Niantic gains a "wealth of talent and experience" from the acquisition, and the Evertoon team will "help build social systems that will benefit our entire community."

Evertoon's original app allowed users to create animated shorts that can be controlled with emoji commands and avatars. The videos could then be shared across a range of social media platforms.
