Pokémon GO

Today, Niantic began rolling a new update for Pokémon GO. It brings the game to Ver. 0.37.1 (Android) / 1.7.1 (iOS), but doesn’t add anything: it only provides some “minor fixes”. for the Pokémon GO Plus accessory.

Trainers, Pokémon GO is being updated to version 0.37.1 for Android and 1.7.1 for iOS with minor fixes for the Pokémon GO Plus.
