Pokémon GO
Pokémon GO has detailed some changes to Pokémon GO that have recently been rolled out
There are now transfer warnings that you receive when you try to transfer any Pokémon with max IVs
Zygarde Cells will now be received as a reward for completing routes rather than collecting from the map
The compass and weather icons have been combined into a single icon; the compass appears when you rotate or zoom while the weather icon appears at all other times
Spacing on the map view has been altered to reduce overlap between everything to allow for easier tapping of Pokémon, Gyms etc.
