The details of this upcoming Pokemon GO update arrive via Reddit, where a user posted a memo from Starbucks to its employees. The leaked documents explain that, on December 8, the “majority of company-owned” Starbucks locations in the United States will be turned into either PokeStops or Gyms and on the same day, “new Pokemon” will be added to the game. By locating the PokeStop/Gym Starbucks location within the game, players will “unlock” the Pokemon GO Frappucino Blended Beverage....

The latest way for fans to store and transfer the monsters across games has been through Pokemon Bank for the 3DS titles, and Pokemon Home as the hub for recent games including Sword and Shield and Pokemon GO.

Getting every Pokemon is quite the task in the game due to the rarity of some as well as the hoops players must jump through to acquire others. For example, evolving Golbat in Pokemon Legends: Arceus cannot be done simply through leveling, and the same goes for other evolutions. However, when talking about the toughest Pokemon to catch, one that must be mentioned is Spiritomb. RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus Player Uses Pokemon Home to Assemble OP Team of 3 Arceus...

Much like Unown, Spinda has a large number of variations that could potentially all appear in Pokemon GO. So far, it seems like Niantic’s plan is to rotate a new Spinda pattern with each month’s Field Research rotations. That means that completionists now have a new form to track down during October. Here’s a look at the latest form… Players should not expect this Spinda to behave any differently than the two they may have already encountered and caught....

As seen in the Imgur album below courtesy of the Pokemon GO trainer and SilphRoad subreddit community member known simply as “Chrales”, the 3D image assets for Shiny Dratini, Dragonair, and Dragonite show the variant versions of the Pocket Monsters as being respectively colored lavender, pink, and green.

As it turns out, Pokemon GO is actually the most searched-for term globally for the year of 2016. The news comes courtesy of Google, which shared its yearly stats for interested internet users to see. The Niantic-developed title came out on top in terms of global searches, beating out the likes of iPhone 7, Donald Trump, Prince, and Powerball. When it came to United States-specific searches, however, Pokemon GO was unable to take the top spot....

The revenue report was compiled by app growth watchdog Sensor Tower, which has been monitoring the explosion of Poke-fandom since day one. As it turns out, Pokemon GO’s sales revenue had already reached a staggering 160 million dollars by the time August arrived.

According to data released by SurveyMonkey, Pokemon GO peaked in popularity on July 14th, and has been seeing a drop in users ever since. While it’s fairly normal for gamers to grow tired of a game after the initial novelty wears off, the peak day for the game’s popularity is one day before the three-step bug began. The drop-off in players since implies that gamers have been discouraged by the three-step bug, as it seriously affects the ability to hunt nearby Pokemon....

Besides Dewpider and Araquanid, Pokemon GO players will also have the opportunity to catch a special Lapras while the Water Festival event is live, with this version of the popular water/ice-type Pokemon wearing a scarf....

As anyone playing Pokemon GO can attest, the game drains battery incredibly quickly. Prior to the most recent update, however, there was a battery saver mode made available for iOS users which helped with this issue. Whenever the app was open and the iPhone was held upside down or sideways, the screen would turn off. This feature has since been taken away for Apple’s device, but Niantic took to Facebook to assure users that the mode will be returning at some point in the immediate future....
