Hardware specialist Razer is not just about accessories, and as testament to that fact they just launched an app which invites Pokémon Go players to be permanently connected and communicating. The app's name is RazerGo but it's not an official Pokémon Go app, nor is it licensed from The Pokémon Company, Niantic or Nintendo. However, Razer assures us they'll manage to integrate it in-game seamlessly.

RazerGo is a geotracking-based chat in which users must register with a Razer account to talk to other people. So far the web version allows you to enter group conversation lobbies in which users enter or leave depending on proximity, and based on a customisable radius: from 5 to 1000 kilometres.

But before July 25 (next Monday) they also plan to launch the mobile version along with a bunch of new features for it to be more useful and better integrated. For example, they want to have more conversation options, such as creating friend groups or team-based groups, or sending messages. Then there'll be the option to leave beacons on the map so that other players can interact and connect to chat rooms created from that point.

Let's wait for RazerGo to launch on Android and iOS to understand how they are integrating it and how useful it might be for millions of players, until Niantic integrates official player interaction.
