Pokémon GO

Today, a new update for Pokémon GO went live: it brings the game to Ver. 0.75.0 (Android) / Ver. 1.45.0 (iOS), with some new features and bug fixes:

Items received from spinning Gym PokéStops and completing Raid Battles are now displayed in the Journal.

Improved Pokémon Collection screen search functionality by allowing Trainers to search using “defender” and “legendary”.

Resolved a bug which caused Pikachu hats to disappear from the in-game model and icon.

Resolved a bug which caused some icons to disappear when scrolling through the Pokédex.

Various bug fixes and performance updates.

As usual, you can find everything there is to know about Pokémon GO Software updates on this page!

Pokémon Duel

Today, pre-registration for Team Match went live in Pokémon Duel, and will remain open until Tuesday.

Team Match is a new type of event for Pokémon Duel, where you first need to choose one of three teams. During the event, you have to open as many Time Boosters in order to rack up points, but also win duels. Naturally, it’s the team with the most points at the end that wins. Throughout the duration of this event, the Time Boosters open twice as fast as usual, and you can get more Team Points using Booster Enhancers.

Magikarp Jump

Today, a new update for Magikarp Jump was released: it brings the game to Ver. 1.3.2. with, officially, only bug fixes. But that’s not all: this update also adds two “features”:

you can now clear the game’s cache
the game now gives you an incentive to back up your data: you get 10 Diamonds the first time you do so (after downloading this update, it will not count if you did it before)
