As we reported last week, Retro City Rampage DX: Collector’s Edition had a delay in shipping (the standard edition shipped on time). Today, Vblank Entertainment announced on Twitter that the physical copies should be ready for shipping next week, along with the complementary four alternate covers as an apology. Hopefully fans won’t have to wait much longer.

Will hopefully be going out next week. They're scheduled to be finished assembly/shrinkwrapping this week.

With the third generation of Pokémon seemingly close to debuting, dataminers Members of The Silph Road have shared code that includes the gender ratios of all third-generation Pokémon, Polygon reports.

Essentially, the gender ratio is mostly identical to the traditional games’ numbers; however, two glaring oversights have been found concerning legendary dragon Pokémon Latios and Latias. Specifically, exclusively male Latios and female counterpart Latias have had their genders flipped in Pokémon Go’s code.

Somehow, Niantic swapped this defining detail within Pokémon Go’s code. Based on what The Silph Road community dug up, Pokémon Go’s Latios is 100 percent female, while Latias is 100 percent male. That probably won’t have any bearing on gameplay — these two Pokémon can’t breed, in-game or in general — but for fans who know their Pokémon biology inside and out, it’s kind of a shocking switch.

We assume this will be fixed before the update goes live.
