Pokemon GO’s latest update has begun rolling out, and it seems like there’s more than just the officially documented changes in it. Data miners at The Silph Road discovered data for 100 new Pokemon in the update – everything from Chikorita to Celebi, i.e. the whole of generation 2. Moveset data for these Pokemon seems to not have been added yet.
That’s not all, though – data for Ditto and its signature move, Transform, has also been found in the update.
Of course, keep in mind that this is all just datamined info at this point – these new Pokemon are not available in the actual game yet, and all of this info is subject to change.

A new feature of Puyo Puyo Chronicle is the new “Skill Battle” rule. Players form a team of up to three characters and have to make good use of the skills that each character has. There are two types of skills – “Auto Skills” are triggered automatically under certain conditions, whereas “Special Skills” have to be manually activated by pressing the X button and cost MP.
Skills can have a variety of effects – changing the state of the puzzle field, recovering HP and so on. Each character has a variety of skills to choose from, and they also get more powerful the more you use them. Skills can help you beat the game even if you aren’t that good at puzzle games.
