Pokémon GO
The next patch for Pokémon GO has been announced, bringing the game up to Version 1.39. This patch is being pushed to devices and includes a myriad of fies focused on Raid Battles. First you'll be able to spin a Gym after completing a Raid Battle. You'll also be able to give berries to your Pokémon in Gyms despite not being near them, just with a decreased motivation boost. It also boosts search functionality in the Pokémon Collection screen and gives further information on how a Pokémon was caught. This update is being pushed to devices so should be available worldwide soon
Edit @ 19:28: It has also been confirmed that GO Fest will be streamed by Niantic. We'll post a link to the stream when it begins
