A New Pokemon Go Update is Coming, Is a New Event On the Way?
Pokemon Go has
announced the release of a new update, which probably will hit Android
and Apple Stores early next week. As with every release announcement,
the game's developers largely downplayed what the next update would
contain. Here's the confirmed list of changes, courtesy of the game's update notes:
Added Traditional Chinese language support.
Updated the Pokémon collection screen scroll bar.
Various bug fixes.
Minor text fixes.
While those updates sound pretty underwhelming, there are a few interesting tidbits. Right now, Pokemon Go isn't
available in China, so the addition of Chinese language support could
be a hint that the Chinese government has resolved whatever issues it
had with the game. The bug fixes could refer to recent issues involving
the game unexpectedly crashing or the recent issue with players
struggling to dodge during gym battle.
The timing of the update is also a bit curious, as we've speculated that an Easter-themed event could be on the way. The game developers usually push an update before a Pokemon Go event starts, so this could be a way to get new features into the game and then implement them for the event.
We should know more in the next couple of days whether the new Pokemon Go update actually amounts to anything. Stay tuned to WWG for more Pokemon Go news.

Nintendo/Paul Tassi The Dream Yesterday was a strange day for Nintendo fans who tuned into a new Pokémon Direct hoping for some relatively simple news: Pokémon is coming to the Nintendo Switch. Of course, technically, that did happen, but only in the form of Pokken Tournament getting ported over from the Wii U to the Switch in a new “Deluxe” package . But the fully-fledged Pokémon games featured in the show, Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon and Gold and Silver for Virtual Console, were relegated to the 3DS. After the show, there was a brief flare-up of hope that due to a rogue listing, it appeared that Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon may get a Switch release after all, but The Pokémon Company quickly shut that rumor down , saying the listing was a mistake. Ultra Sun and Ultra Moon are 3DS only, and there are no plans to bring them to the Switch. The two magic words everyone was looking for yesterday were “Pokémon Stars,” the long rumored, even offic...
The Pokémon Go craze has definitely fizzled out over the last year or so, with several key promised features still not released yet, but lapsed trainers now have a reason to reinstall the game again. This week, new “field research” quests add narrative to what has largely been a player-driven multiplayer experience thus far. “A series of mysterious happenings is occurring all over the world, and Professor Willow is seeking trainers to help him found out if this is connected to the mythical Pokémon Mew,” Niantic said in an update post . “These research tasks will become available to trailers around the world later this week!” There will be two different categories of research during the event: “Field research” and “special research.” The former type can be triggered by visiting Pokéstops, and will task trainers with completing raids or gym battles or catching a certain type of Pokémon. Special research missions are longer, with trainers having to complete several ...
