Pokémon GO Patch Pokémon GO 2017 patches/updates (iOS and Android) Thread

[Pokemon Trainer]

I'm still not completely sure about what this Pokemon GO fest is. It's unlike Niantic because I don't think Ingress events needed tickets or anything.
I wonder if it's like the Pokemon Festivals they have every year in Korea, where they open pop-up stores, have VGC competitions, and have dancing Pikachu.

I don't know for sure but there will be some in-game events for GO (so no VCG/TCG... and the dancing Pikachu is a Japan exclusive event made by The Pokémon Company but Niantic announced that they will do some kind of event there)

Some of the events confirmed for Chicago are:
- increased Pokémon encounters
- probably there will be Heracross (Latin America region exclusive)
- various challenges (unlock in-game rewards globally)
- exclusive "Pokémon GO Fest Chicago" medal
- Pokémon GO Fest walking course, lined with PokéStops that award special 2 km Eggs which can only be obtained in Grant Park
- something with the team leaders

I have read that even Ingress used tickets for its events (don't know if free or paid)

Interesting!

The dancing Pikachu is also being used a lot by the Pokemon Company Korea. It's not necessarily Japan exclusive. I always see them at official events XD

Did you see the deflating Pikachu video in May?
That was in a Pokemon Festival event in Korea

Anyway, I hope the live Pokemon Go events make it to Korea soon. Nobody around me really plays anymore

Pokémon GO is in the process of being updated to version 0.67.2 for Android and 1.37.2 for iOS devices and Trainers Level 5 and above can now participate in Raid Battles at Gyms all around the world.

Contents of the Update (iOS/Android):

• Bug fixes

You and millions of Trainers, Level 5 and above, can now participate in Raid Battles at Gyms all around the world. Gather your friends and family, locate a Raid using the Nearby screen, and take on the extremely powerful Raid Bosses near you!

What are Raid Battles? A Raid Battle is a cooperative gameplay experience that encourages you to work with other Trainers to defeat an extremely powerful Pokémon known as the Raid Boss.

How do you participate? Before a Raid Battle begins, a large Egg will appear atop the Gym with a countdown timer. When the countdown reaches zero, the Raid Boss will be revealed. You’ll need a Raid Pass, to battle the Raid Boss, and you can get one for free each day by visiting a Gym. You and up to 20 other Trainers can work together to defeat the Raid Boss.

What do you get if you defeat a Raid Boss? If you successfully defeat the Raid Boss within the three-minute time limit, you’ll have the chance to catch that Pokémon! In addition, you’ll receive a selection of rewards, which can include Rare Candies, Golden Razz Berries, and two types of Technical Machines—Fast TMs and Charged TMs.

Have more questions? Visit the official Help Center for even more information on Raid Battles.

Good luck in your upcoming Raid Battles!

That's an interesting idea but I think we will never know (or it will be some years before Niantic starts to think about something for them )
