Today’s Pokemon news continues, as Niantic has announced Pokemon GO Community Day. When active, a special Pokemon will be featured, which will appear frequently around the world for just a few hours. The Pokemon you catch will have an exclusive move. Additionally, other bonuses will be in effect.

Pikachu will be the first Pokemon featured when the inaugural event begins on January 20. You can find more information about Pokemon GO Community Day below.

Pokemon GO will soon be ending support for Apple devices that cannot upgrade to iOS. These include iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c models.

In a statement, Niantic said that the move “is a result of improvements to Pokémon GO that push the application beyond the capabilities of the operating systems on such devices.” When the change takes place on February 28, you won’t be able to access your account from the impacted device, or use PokeCoins or other items in your Bag.

You can read the full statement from Niantic and listing of impacted devices below.

Originally, Zangoose’s appearance in Pokemon GO was limited to the Americas and Africa. Meanwhile, Seviper was only in Europe, Asia, and Oceania.

Locations for these two Pokemon have now swapped. That means Zangoose can be found in Europe and Asia while Seviper is now showing up in the Americas and Africa.

Niantic has not said how long the location shift will remain in effect for.

Earlier today, Financial Times reported that Pokemon GO will debut in China thanks to a partnership with NetEase. The publication quoted Niantic CEO John Hanke as having said the company “absolutely intends to bring our existing games into China.” Hanke also apparently stated that China has opportunities to build games for both Chinese and foreign developers.

But not so fast. Global Times reached out to NetEase, who denied any imminent plans to help bring Pokemon GO to China. NetEase further added that no interviewees shared any information about Pokemon GO’s potential debut in the region.

The situation is somewhat unclear at present. At the very least though, NetEase does not appear to be involved with bringing Pokemon GO to China.
