It looks like one of the most anticipated Pokémon Go features is finally on its way. In a series of tweets, developer Niantic teased player-versus-player battles. It’s a feature the developer has promised for some time, and it’s an integral part of the traditional Pokémon experience. In fact, battles were part of the initial pitch when Pokémon Go was first announced back in 2015. But, much like trading, battles took longer than anticipated to actually implement in the game. Unfortunately, right now, we don’t know anything about how the feature will work, but Niantic does say that trainer battles will be coming “soon.”

After the October 2018 Update fiasco -- the company had to pull the feature update days after release and re-released after six weeks of silence again -- it is now Office that is plagued by updates that cause issues when they are installed.
Nintendo dropped firmware update 6.2.0 for its Switch console. As often, the only official changelog states this update improves stability.
On the scene side, however, Word on the street is that this update breaks Custom Firmware compatibility, for all known CFWs. (That is, of course, for people who are running a CFW and choose to update, a very strange move in my book but who am I to judge.)
The latest additions are seven new countries spread across several continents:
