This information comes from Niantic’s blog…

Our team has been making the most of the sunny California weather by walking long distances and enthusiastically testing all of the refinement and new features in Pokémon GO. Many of these refinements have been inspired by feedback received from our field testers in Australia, New Zealand, Japan and United States. Thank you for testing the app and for giving us such great feedback.

We have a few exciting updates to share. We’ve added a new Camera feature that enables Trainers to take photographs of their wild Pokémon encounters. Now you can take a photo of Squirtle next to that scenic lake or Ivysaur hanging out by the park. The photos will be saved to your phone’s camera roll to share with whomever you’d like. We can’t wait to see the varied environments in which trainers will find wild Pokémon.

We’re also thrilled to announce that Pokémon GO’s all-new music track is composed by GAME FREAK’s Junichi Masuda. We’ve been working closely with Masuda-san on several of the core game design elements of Pokémon GO and feel very fortunate to also have drawn from his decades of experience composing original music for the Pokémon games.

We enjoyed participating in Nintendo’s Treehouse Live Pokémon GO developer Q&A session at E3 today. With each day, we’re getting closer to launch and we can’t wait to share this game with everyone. Stay tuned for more details.

As revealed by Game Freak’s Junichi Masuda during today’s Treehouse stream, there are plans for Pokemon GO to connect with the main Pokemon games in the future. This won’t be at launch though, as the developers want players to focus on catching Pokemon in real life. The same stream also reconfirmed that trading will be coming to Pokemon GO at some point.

Pokken Tournament received a new update last night, bringing the game up to version 1.3. Some people have since been poking through the files to see if there’s anything interesting hidden away.

Reddit user BananaMuffinFrenzy did manage to come across some potentially interesting things. First, the inclusion of a “evt_sphit_Scizor” file was found. There were also a few other noteworthy files:

btlseq_en.drp\evt_395_iwakudaki_hit
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_darkhole_throw_catch
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_darkpulse_hit
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_darkpulse_hold_hit
btlseq_en.drp\evt_491_exATK_hit

Empoleon is 395 in the Pokedex, and ”Iwakudaki” is Rock Smash. Darkrai is 491 in the Pokedex, and can use Dark Pulse and Dark Void (Dark Hole in Japanese).

These findings have people speculating about Scizor, Empoleon, and Darkrai being added to Pokken Tournament. It remains to be seen what will actually happen in the future, however.
