Niantic has rolled out a new update for Pokemon Go. The patch, version 1.59.1 for iOS and 0.89.1 for Android, is a fairly minor one and doesn`t introduce any major new features to the mobile game, but it does make a number of quality-of-life improvements.Along with an assortment of unspecified bug fixes, the new update adds the ability to sort the Pokedex by region. Niantic has also improved incubator sorting and `the way Pokemon scale throughout the map.` Finally, the update resolves an issue that caused the Pokemon selection screen to scroll back to the top after you evolved or transferred a Pokemon.You can read the full patch notes for the latest Pokemon Go update, courtesy of the game`s official website, below. This will likely be one of the final updates certain iPhone users will be able to install, as Niantic has announced it will soon end support for some older iOS devices. Beginning February 28, Pokemon Go will no longer be compatible with iPhones and iPads that can`t be updated to iOS 11, such as iPhone 5 and iPhone 5c.Niantic recently announced a new, monthly event for Pokemon Go called Community Days. The inaugural Community Day takes place this Saturday, January 20, and unlike the Pokemon Go Fest and Safari Zone events, it`s available to players around the world.
