The special Halloween event in Pokemon GO is officially live. Some changes have been made to the gameplay as part of the promotion, and a new warning screen can even be seen.

Through November 1, caught Pokemon net players six Candies, which is double the normal amount. You’ll also get two Candies rather than one for each Pokemon you transfer to the Professor. On top of that, Buddy Pokemon will award Candy four times faster than they usually do, and you’ll receive twice the Candy you’d normally get when hatching Eggs.

Some Pokemon are also now more common. These include Zubat, Golbat, Gastly, Haunter, Gengar, Drowzee, and Hypno.

Thanks to Tetroy C for the tip.

LetsPlayVideoGames is again reporting on a nugget of information about Switch after reaching out to one of its sources.

Having spoken with someone “close to the production of the Switch reveal trailer,” the site claims that the Switch Pro Controller lacks a headset port – either proprietary or standardized. The information “is based on the hardware model shown during the Switch reveal, and based on the assumption that the hardware used in that trailer is representative of final design.”

If this is true and the hardware is final, the controller wouldn’t have an area where you could connect a headset. The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One controllers do offer that functionality in case you’re wondering.

Laura Kate Dale, who shared the report, added on Twitter that it’s unclear as to whether there will be support for Bluetooth headsets or other wireless solutions with Switch.
