A new update for Pokemon Home has just released, bringing the app to version 2.1.0. This patch specifically affects the mobile version of the app, with the Switch version remaining untouched for now.

This new update focuses around adding further Pokemon Scarlet and Violet integration for the app, specifically by making Ranked Battle data from those games viewable within the app. On top of addressing other small issues, it’s also providing a similar feature for Pokemon Sword and Shield, allowing players to view battle results from those titles.

Here are the full patch notes for Pokemon Home’s version 2.1.0 update:

Pokemon Unite Comfey

Original (1/26): The latest addition to Pokemon Unite has been revealed, as Comfey is set to join the game. A release date of February 2, 2023 has been shared.

When a new Pokemon is announced for Unite, it’s usually just that – without any further information. That has happened once again. However, we’re likely to receive a trailer sometime within the next week, and we’ll add it in here once it’s live.

Pokemon Unite update 1.8.1.6

Pokemon Unite has gone live with its latest update, moving up to version 1.8.1.6.

The patch is largely about balancing various Pokemon. There are also shop updates, event updates, bug fixes, and text fixes.

The full patch notes for the Pokemon Unite version 1.8.1.6 update are as follows:

Pikmin Bloom update 62.1

Another update has come through for Pikmin Bloom, with Niantic issuing version 62.1.

Some small improvements and adjustments are included like visual hints informing players how to collect rewards in big flowers, cutting back on memory usage, and more.

The full patch notes are as follows:

We have a couple of trailers showcasing both the Winter Tour and new Mii Racing Suit below.

Nintendogs mobile patent

Headlines and forum posts may have you thinking that Nintendogs is set to appear on mobile following a patent filing. While it’s possible Nintendo has something in development, things aren’t quite what they seem.

We’ve been taking an especially cautious approach to filings and trademarks over the past few years since they’re given way more weight than they should. Essentially, it’s pretty rare that anything substantial actually comes from them.
