‘Pokémon Go’ will reportedly bring 100 new creatures in next update

If you’re still playing Pokémon Go, we have some good news for you. There might be some new big things headed your way next month, including over 100 new normal and Legendary Pokémon (including Mew and Mewto), player vs. player battles, Pokémon trading, as well as the ability to raise Pokémon like Tamagotchi.

This information, however, hasn’t been confirmed by Niantic Labs yet but a spokesperson has said that “Gen 2” of the game is coming. The new features shown above were taken from an analysis of the game code by the developers associated with the Pokémon map PokeVS.

‘Rogue One’ gets one more trailer ahead of impending release

The new trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story reminds us to trust The Force. It also shows us a closer look at the battle between the Rebels and Imperials. We’ve seen some of the footage before but we also get to see a young Jyn Erso being told to trust The Force, K-2SO’s nonchalance, and blind warrior monk Chirrut Imwe’s second sight and how he uses it in battle—among other things.  Rogue One is set to hit theaters on December 16.

Samsung Gear Fit 2 adds new workout tracking features

Samsung has released a new set of features for the Gear Fit 2 to help track your workouts a bit better. The wearable now has an auto pause function that detects when you’ve stopped in the middle of a run or workout. It’ll pick up where you left off once it notices you’ve resumed. The Gear Fit 2 can now also track high-intensity exercises such as basketball, table tennis, dancing, football (international version), and badminton. And once you exceed 10 minutes of these sessions, the wearable categorizes these as a Dynamic Workout.

The Gear Fit 2 aims to get better at monitoring your indoor exercises as well, especially those that have repetitive sets. You can input the number of repetitions you want to do and set those for crunches, lunges, squats, and star jumps. The tracker will then start monitoring your progress as soon as you begin. It’ll also let you know appropriate break intervals between sets. The update is rolling out now internationally.
