In the new “Pokémon GO” update, the developers have addressed issues in the game.
The roll-out for the new update 0.47.1 for Android and 1.17.0 for iOS has started. Roll-out means that the update will be activated gradually for certain regions. So, we may still have to wait a bit for the update here in Germany. A specific date for the release in Germany is not yet known.
Patch notes 0.47.1 Android / 1.17.0 iOS
These changes are announced by the developers on the Pokémon GO website:
- A bug has been fixed where the video animation of the hatching of eggs was sometimes visible from the map view.
- Minor text fixes.
Pokémon GO: Is the next event already hidden?
At first glance, this update seems to be intended only for bug fixes. However, even the last update 0.45.0 gave no hints that shortly after a bonus event with additional rewards started. On Reddit, there is speculation about a possible Thanksgiving event, the preparations of which might be in this patch. However, there is currently no solid evidence for this, only assumptions.
In Pokémon GO, events are a welcome change. This was clearly seen during the Halloween event, as at that time, Pokémon GO made good spots in the app stores and provided trainers with spooky Pokémon.
