Where art Mew? Pokémon Go Quests and Storylines – how do you catch Mew and what are the research tasks?

IN ONE of the biggest updates to Pokemon Go ever, Niantic has revealed its brand new quest system.
Just as we predicted, this could revolutionise the game by giving players tasks and rewards, and even gives you the opportunity to catch the rarest ever Pokemon. We've got the lowdown...

What is the new Quest feature?

As predicted, Quests are coming to Pokemon Go - and it's about time!
Essentially these are going to be task and reward based quests that follow a storyline and ultimately help you find the rare Pokemon, Mew.
There are two types of quest activities coming out with the launch:
Field Research
These are daily quests which you get by spinning Pokestops. The objectives that you get from these are typically fairly simple.
You might be asked to win gym battles or catch certain types of Pokemon.
The rewards (that we know about so far) range from potions and raid passes to rare candy.
The more stops you spin the better as you can string together these tasks for stamps - after seven you can claim a Research Breakthrough prize which contains better items and even legendary Pokemon.
 Here's what the in-game menu for Quests looks like

Special Research
Special Research is where things get slightly more interesting as these are story-led missions.
As this stage we don't know too much, however, Professor Willow himself is going to be in the game to help trainers around the world complete their task.
The Special Research quest revealed by Niantic is called A Mythical Discovery - as you can see from the image above, it features several small quests that are somewhat similar to the basic daily quests - how the story aspect of it takes effect is not yet clear.
When you finish this quest you will be granted the opportunity to catch a Mew.
As soon as we know more this will be updated!

Nintendo's Failure To Give The Switch A Proper Pokémon Game Is Inexcusable

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...
