Pokémon news (August 5): update for Pokémon Rumble World, anti-hack measures on the PGL
Pokémon Rumble World
Today, The Pokémon Company released a new update for Pokémon Rumble World (Ver. 1.1), which requires 846 blocks of free space on your SD Card.
It addes a new level called “Lucky Balloon”, where Pokémon that are you yet to catch are much more likely to appear. Unfortunately, there’s catch: you need to wait 20 hours for it to recharge, and you need to be at least Level 33 to access it. And from now on, the PokéDiamond digger in town will give you 40 PokéDiamonds a day (instead of the usual 20).
Also, a special download was revealed for Japan, and it gives 100 PokéDiamonds: 32831175.

Pokémon Global Link
Yesterday, The Pokémon Company announced some new anti-hack measures for the Pokémon Global Link.
From now on, if you’re caught (or have been caught) with a modified Pokémon and/or save file, you will be banned from Rating Battles or Battle Competitions. If you’re caught multiple times, you will face a more severe penatly, which wasn’t described (it most likely involves a permanent ban from online features for Pokémon games). If you have recently be caught cheating, your sentence will be enacted soon.
According to Serebii, those new anti-hack measures come after several legit players fell victim to save data loss due to an encounter with players using a modified save data.
