Niantic has unveiled a couple of new features for Pokemon GO as it looks to expand upon the mobile game’s AR functionality. Reality Blending and PokeStop scanning were both announced in a blog post today.

The full overview from Niantic is below:

Recently, a Twitter poll was launched by the official Pokemon Go Twitter, asking trainers to vote on which Pokemon they’d like to see most in an upcoming Community Day event. Out of the four choices (Squirtle, Sandshrew, Gastly, and Weedle), the top two were selected to be Weedle and Gastly (Weedle at first place with 34.1% of the vote and Gastly at second with 32.3% of the vote).

This means that Weedle and Gastly will be featured in the June and July 2020 Community Day events, although it is unsure which will be featured in June and which will be selected for July.

The official announcement for the winners is included below, along with the poll results.

Three Legendary Pokemon that originated from Pokemon Black/White will soon be appearing on Pokemon GO. Reshiram, Zekrom, and Kyurem will all be appearing in five-star raids, Niantic has announced.

Reshiram will be first up on between May 26 and June 16 at 1 PM PT / 4 PM ET. Zekrom and Kyurem will follow later, with their specific dates to be confirmed later.
