Prepare for trouble, make it double. Niantic and The Pokémon Company have been monitoring unusual activity in Pokémon Go for the past few days. Now it looks like it has come to a head, as Team Rocket has announced their intention to invade Pokémon Go.

iOS 12.4 Released July 23, 2019

Important news for users of Apple devices this morning, Apple has released updates for everything they currently make late last night. The latest update they released for iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch users is iOS 12.4.

The update includes an important new feature that allows users to transfer system data from old devices to new ones directly. Previously, system transfers could only be made by loading device backups from iTunes or iCloud. This new update gives the iDevice a sorely needed feature other devices like the Nintendo 3DS and PS4 have offered for years.

iOS 12.4 can currently be installed through your device’s software update feature or through iTunes.

PS4 System Software Update 6.72 Released July 17, 2019

A very minor system software update has just been released on the PS4. System Software Update 6.72 includes only non-specific bug fixes and optimizations. It weighs in at around 470MB if you previously had the most recent System Software installed on the PS4.

6.72 is not currently required to be installed for your PS4 to access the PlayStation Network but that can change at any time.

Nintendo Switch Lite Announced July 10, 2019

Nintendo has just announced a new model of Nintendo Switch is coming this fall, called the Nintendo Switch Lite. Take a look!

As a current Nintendo Switch owner I will likely pass on this unit. While I appreciate the smaller form factor, Nintendo Switch Lite looks like it will be a smaller and cheaper options for players who don’t have a Switch or want a Switch they can take on the go. We will probably learn more about the handheld as we lead to release this fall.

I just want to put a little footnote here from my own personal knowledge. The video depicted can make it a little confusing to the layman that use of the Switch and Switch Lite are interchangeable. While it is certainly the case Switch and Switch Lite owners will be able to compete against each other either in local or Internet-connected matches, the Switch does not allow for the same user to use their personal Switch profile on multiple devices. That means, while you can currently transfer your Switch account if your Switch breaks (which is a feature that has only RECENTLY been added) you can’t change your Switch accounts back and forth between multiple Switch consoles.

Spider-Man PS4 Patch 1.16 Released – Far From Home Suits Included July 2, 2019

Insomniac had a big surprise for all of us today. To celebrate the theatrical release of Spider-Man: Far From Home today, two all-new playable Spider-Man suits have been added to Spider-Man on the PS4! One suit is based on the new red and black variant, which looks heavily influenced by the Steve Ditko design of wall crawler. The other is being referred to as the Stealth Suit, a suit designed by Peter Parker for international use. You can see both suits in action in this recent trailer for the movie.

The patch is not large and shouldn’t weigh in at larger than 375MB if you’ve previously had the most up to date version of the game installed. Once the patch is installed, you can equip the suits immediately.

Spider-Man is out now exclusively for the PS4.

New Jump Start Research Tasks Added in Pokemon Go June 28, 2019

The summer has started and Niantic is kicking it off in a big way for Pokémon Go players new, returning, and current. A new series of research tasks have been added to the game and from the looks of it, can currently be attempted by all players.

We don’t know all the tasks for the event, but here are the tasks for the first set. As you can see, it comes with a HUGE X P boost just for completing the tasks in round one.

There are six total series of challenges you’ll need to complete to win whatever the final research reward is for this event. We don’t yet know what the final prize is going to be, and your guess is as good as mine. In the past, events like this have allowed players to capture Mythical Pokémon like Mew or Celebi, but it’s unlikely this event will offer something that big.

So get out and start playing, people!

Pokémon Go is out now for Android and iOS Smartphones and Tablets.
