Pokemon Go’s latest patch finally makes the team leaders do something.
“Implemented Pokémon Appraisal: Trainers will now be able to learn about a Pokémon’s attack and defense capabilities from their Team Leader (Candela, Blanche or Spark) to determine which of their Pokémon have the most potential for battle.”
Just kidding — as Kotaku puts it, Spark will just “ask if you want some of the glue he’s eating.” Poor Spark.
Meanwhile, there have apparently been Pokemon Go-related stampedes (I hate to call them that since they are relatively organized and no one appears to be injured?) in crowded areas of Taiwan. We’ll embed one below. Crowds like this freak me out, so I’m not watching it twice.
Finally a talented UI designer redid Pokemon Go’s entire interface. (Found on Kotaku, but it was originally posted to Reddit and PvPlive a few weeks back.) Dutch designer Wendy Borg posted a gorgeous do-over on Behance, complete with a smarter battery mode, mode toggles, and a watch interface.
