Pokémon GO
It has been confirmed that the rest of the Johto Pokémon are to come to Pokémon GO later this week. This update includes more Pokémon, evolutions, new methods of encounters, new berries and more customisation options for your Pokémon.
First, Pokémon may act differently when you're battling them
Next, with the new Berries, a Nanab Berry will slow a Pokémon's movement and a Pinap Berry will double the Candy you receive on capture.
Gender also makes its first appearance in Pokémon GO, with the Male or Female symbol appearing to the side of a Pokémon's name, as well as any gender difference if one exists.
We'll bring full news on when it comes so be sure to check back.

Pokémon Sun & Moon - Mega Stones
The Pokémon Company has put out a new note clarifying how the currently missing Mega Stones are going to be distributed. In the note, it explains that the Mega Stones will come through two means
First, given as a present to players of Online Competitions, such as with the Mawilite and Beedrillite in the upcoming 2017 International Challenge February competition. Here, a limited amount of players will get the code ahead of a wait period of 1 to 2 months before all players get the code.
Second is just through a code that will be given to all players through various events/online postings with no wait period
The method will vary depending on the Mega Stone and they intend to go through these methods until Summer. As always, we'll bring full details on the Mega Stone distributions as they come.
