New feature in Pikmin Bloom Privacy zone, prevention of identification by disabling flower planting at home and work –Engadget Japanese version

A new privacy measure “Privacy Zone” has been added to the app “Pikmin Bloom” jointly developed by Pokemon GO’s Niantic and Nintendo.

Privacy zones can be set in any 5 locations, such as near home or work. Even if you walk while planting flowers, you will not be able to plant your own flowers in the zone, so you can prevent pinpoint identification by following the trajectory of flowers, for example, from the nearest station to your home.

Even in places where many flowers are already in bloom, if you plant rare flowers, you may be able to follow them to some extent in a continuous trajectory.
