The Pokémon Go Battle League will be down until further notice.
After numerous reports from Trainers about a potential exploit in the Pokémon Go Battle League following the most recent server maintenance, Niantic has addressed the community and disabled all Pokémon Go Battle League battles until further notices. Although Niantic did not specify what specific exploit it was addressing, YouTuber JRskatr shared a video yesterday showing an exploit he found in which Melmetal is able to use its charged move, Rock Slide far more often, often with only one or two quick attacks instead of the usual five, giving players using Melmetal an extremely unfair advantage. Other players on Twitch have shared videos battling with the same user from JRskatr's video, suggesting that the bug said player was exploiting, allowed his Melmetal to continue using fast attacks while the charged attack was happening. The user in question rose very quickly over the last two days to the top spot on the leaderboard.
In addressing the exploit, Niantic explained its process for handling cheating of any kind within Pokémon Go. Although Niantic has a zero tolerance policy for cheating of any kind, it also has a policy of never commenting on the details of an investigation into specific accounts, and so did not confirm if the Melmetal exploit was a widespread issue, or only a single user. What Niantic could reveal was that its team has been hard at work behind the scenes analyzing how this exploit works, how severe its impact is to gameplay, and how to prevent similar issues in the furture.
Have you come across this particular exploit in the Pokémon Go Battle League? Let us know in the comments below, and in the meantime, be sure to check out our Complete Pokédex, as well as our many other Pokémon Go guides so you can be the very best - without cheating!
Apple's retail store in Glasgow just got a new name.
In a quiet move of solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement, Apple has changed the name of one of its retail locations in Scotland. Previously named Apple Buchanan Street, the store is now named Apple Glasgow.
Reported by 9to5Mac, Apple typically only changes the name of a store when it moves or the surrounding area warrants a change. However, it has quietly renamed the store without such changes present. The new name is already present on the store's online page on Apple's website.
"Apple renames stores from time to time, but typically only when a store moves, or the location's surrounding mall changes names. Glasgow's Buchanan Street store hasn't moved and is a standalone location. While Apple hasn't confirmed the reason for the name change, the writing was on the wall — literally."
Buchanan Street had come under fire because the street's name was based on Andrew Buchanan, a plantation owner. A petition to change the name of Buchanan Street, along with other street names in Glasgow, has apparently reached over 26,000 signatures.
"Protests sparked by the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis have spread far beyond the US as countries across the world join deeper conversations about racial justice. Statues of controversial historical figures have been toppled. In Glasgow, activists began renaming streets with names linked to slave trade by installing their own street signs. Buchanan Street, whose namesake was plantation owner Andrew Buchanan, was briefly labeled "George Floyd Street." A petition to permanently change Glasgow street names has gathered over 26,000 signatures."
Apple has committed to fighting racial inequality on a number of fronts, both monetarily and socially, and this latest move is another small step in that effort.
Amazon, Apple, Facebook and their peers put out statements of solidarity against racial injustice for George Floyd, but were stunningly silent six years ago. Now, they’re donating more money.
