Another Alolan Pokemon has been spotted in the wild for Pokemon GO. If you’re out exploring with the game, you may come across Alolan Rattata (and therefore Alolan Raticate as well). We’re hearing reports that the Pokemon is live in various parts of the world.

Players seem to be surprised that Alolan Rattata is here. Niantic hasn’t officially announced its arrival, but you can nevertheless add it to your collection.

Pokemon CEO and president Tsunekazu Ishihara wasn’t always a believer in Switch. In fact, he told Nintendo prior to its release that it wouldn’t be successful. He felt that “in the age of the smartphone, no one would carry out a game console.”

Switch did end up becoming a success in the end having sold close to 20 million units as of Nintendo’s last fiscal year. Ishihara came to understand that “the key to a successful game is quite simple: software with absolute quality leads sales of hardware.”

Flip Grip ended up on Kickstarter this week as a way of funding the new Switch accessory. In barely any time at all, the project demolished its $42,500 goal. There are still over two weeks remaining in the campaign with around $60,000 raised thus far.

With Flip Grip, Switch owners will be able to easily play games vertically. It’ll be particularly helpful with a title like Ikaruga, which supports tate mode.

You can find Flip Grip on Kickstarter here.

Yesterday, Pokémon GO introduced friends, gifting, and trading systems for level 30 to 40 players. Now, the friend and social features will be available for all Trainer levels, and trading can be unlocked at level 10. The drop was expected, as a similar situation occurred when Raids first launched for players between levels 38 and 40.

Trading in Pokémon GO works much differently from their main series counterparts. You will have to level up your friendship with somebody to trade Legendary or other Pokémon. Additionally, you will have to be in a certain proximity to that person to engage the trade.

Most recently, Niantic introduced Alolan Pokémon to the game through wild encounters and gifted eggs, giving players an additional array of monsters to catch before the remainder of the Generation 3 Pokémon are released.
