Pokemon GO doesn’t have a new patch to download, but users have noticed that a server-side update has been pushed out. Reddit user NaestaChalmers provides a summary of what’s been detected thus far:
– New movesets for some Pokemon (confirmed by Game_Master file)
– Dodging changed to general max. 75% damage evasion (confirmed by Game_Master file)
– Regional spawn rates increased heavily (confirmed by obvious observations)
– Increased potion drop rates (highly likely due to multiple observations and testing)
– Rare spawn increase in general (highly likely due to multiple observations)
– Faster egg hatch updates (likely due to observations and minor tests – needs more testing)
– Nest changes, needs to be further elaborated (unlikely: some observations but no general evidence, most did not change)
Niantic is committed to updating Pokemon GO on a regular basis. A new iOS and Android patch will likely go live in the near future.
If you buy Pirate Pop Plus once, you won’t have to worry about purchasing the game on another Nintendo platform. 13AM Games told Nintendo World Report that cross-buy is planned. That means if you pick up the game on either Wii U or New 3DS, you’ll get the other version free.
Update: Added in Sunday’s updates.

On its Gamescom 2016 stream a few minutes ago, Nintendo showed off the upcoming DLC on the way to FAST Racing Neo. Take a look at the recording below.
Square Enix recently reconfirmed Dragon Quest X for NX. Now we can say the same about the series’ latest entry, Dragon Quest XI.
In this month’s issue of Nintendo Dream, Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii, Pokemon series producer Junichi Masuda, and Super Smash Bros. series director Masahiro Sakurai all participated in a roundtable discussion. At one point, the discussion shifted to Dragon Quest XI, and Horii said that the game will indeed be on NX. Moreover, it sounds like the goal is to have all versions launch simultaneously in order to avoid spoilers.
Here’s the full exchange, as translated by Gematsu:
XSEED confirmed the localization of Corpse Party on 3DS back in April. As part of the initial announcement, the publisher said the game would be ready to hit store shelves this summer. Those plans may have since changed.
For one thing, time is running out on summer. We still don’t have a concrete date, and we’re a month away from the start of fall. Retailers also started to update their Corpse Party listings this past week. While many had the game pinned down for a tentative August 30 launch, the likes of Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and GameFly now indicate that it’ll be available on October 4.
In any case, this is all partially speculation on my part. There are still a few weeks left in the summer, so maybe XSEED is simply gearing up for a (very) late fall release. Hopefully we’ll find out what’s happening soon.
Puzzle & Dragons X recently added a collaboration based on Monster Hunter Stories. Take a look at some footage of the event below.
Sneaky Ninja will soon be making its way to Wii U. While we wait for the eShop title, view a half hour of footage below.
Pokemon players in Europe and Australia can participate in a new distribution. By using the code “HAPPY”, you can receive a special Meowth with the move Happy Hour. It should be available in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire.
