This Week in Pokémon Go News

[inkstone]

Happy Friday, trainers! (...although maybe it's not Friday anymore for some of you...)

• There is a new update rolling out for PokeGo. It looks like it's mostly minor stuff, but we'll have to see. Based on previous rollouts, I wouldn't expect it to hit the app stores until next Monday or Tuesday. (source)

• There are reports that the Pokedex IV scaling bug has now been fixed. So we're now able to catch wild starters with good IVs (versus hatching them)! The trade-off, however, means that we're saying farewell to that steady string of eevees and dratinis with perfect attack IVs.

• All things come to an end. PokeGo is no longer the top grossing app in the iPhone store. (source)

What's going on in your neck of the woods?

I am sad to report that while the old place we lived at was Eeveeland (Eevees spawning in our house!), the new place is...not so much. But we catch the occasional Eevee while out and about town, so it's not a total loss. *g*

I'm just relieved that the clefairy spawning grounds are still the clefairy spawning grounds. But I am saddened that it's a parking lot. You practically have to drive it. Imagine walking through a busy retail parking lot hunting down clefairies. Not safe at all!

Just as I caught my very first Dratini! Drat!

The eevees are back in the drug room at my hospital, which is where I first caught them when the game was new. It's weird but cool.
