Update (12/20): This update should now be live.

Original (12/19): A new Pokemon GO update is going live across iOS and Android. Users should find that version 1.21.0 / 0.51.1 can be downloaded shortly.

The update is pretty minor in nature, though it does address a bothersome bug. Niantic’s official patch notes are as follows:

– The bug that caused incorrect vibration notifications has been fixed.
– Day and night modes have changed to more accurately reflect the Trainer’s current time of day.
– Minor text fixes.

Circle Entertainment said it was localizing Gourmet Dream back in October. The game is now set for release this Thursday in North America with a $5 price point.

Here’s an overview from Nintendo’s website:

“Gourmet Dream is a management game in which you take up the role of a restaurant manager and help your shop to grow.

The aim of the game is to help your restaurant flourish until it is evaluated as an “S Rank” restaurant.

In order to do this, you will have to create a menu to suit your customer’s needs, hire and train staff that provide great food and service, and run promotions to increase the number of customers that come to your restaurant. In essence, you will be raising your store into a ‘Highly Esteemed Gourmet Restaurant’.”

We don’t have a date yet, but Gourmet Dream should also be heading to Europe sometime soon.

Niantic announced back in September that Pokemon GO players had walked more than 4.6 billion kilometers since its mobile game launched. The company has now shared a new wave of stats.

As of December 7, Pokemon GO players have walked over 8.7 billion kilometers collectively. To put it in perspective, that’s more than 200,000 trips around Earth. Over 88 billion Pokemon were also caught during that period. Niantic says it amounts to about 533 million Pokemon a day.
