各位訓練家：

We’re just as excited as you are for the introduction of even more Pokémon originally from the Hoenn region to start appearing in the real world. Alongside the introduction of these new Pokémon, we also revealed that a new dynamic weather gameplay system will start rolling out to Trainers around the world. We wanted to share a few notes detailing some of these upcoming changes, as well as a few comments from our development team.

不知道你是不是和我們一樣，期待著豐緣地區寶可夢的到來呢？在這次的更新裡，除了會有超過50隻來自豐緣地區的寶可夢會加入Pokémon GO，我們也同時推出了和現實世界天氣連動的天氣同步功能。請讓我們在此為你詳細介紹這次更新中推出的新功能。

Dynamic Weather Gameplay:

天氣同步功能

• The Pokémon GO user interface will reflect each Trainer’s current local weather.

• Certain Pokémon will be more likely to appear frequently in weather that suits them the most.

  • These Pokémon will yield bonus Stardust when caught.

  • These Pokémon are more likely to have greater potential in battle.

• Move types that match certain weather conditions will deal extra damage in battle.

• 遊戲畫面將會反映訓練家目前所在地的天氣。

• 各種屬性的寶可夢都有最適合牠們的天氣。如果是適合的天氣，該屬性寶可夢出現的機率將會提升。

  • 在適合特定屬性寶可夢的天氣捕捉該屬性寶可夢，將可獲得比平常更多的星星沙子。

  • 在上述情況下捕捉到的寶可夢可能會比一般的寶可夢強。

• 招式的威力將會受天氣影響。如果能使出適合當下天氣的招式，招式的威力就會變得更加強大。

Developer Comments: When we first started thinking about features we’d be introducing alongside the Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region, a dynamic weather system that reflects real-world weather in-game was one of the first concepts that came to mind. This feature brings us one step closer to how we’ve envisioned discovering Pokémon in the real world–further connecting the digital world to the physical world you experience around you.

開發團隊備註： 當我們開始思考要在豐緣地區寶可夢登場的同時推出什麼樣的新功能時，能反映現實世界天氣的「天氣同步功能」便是其中一個點子。長年支持精靈寶可夢系列遊戲的玩家們應該都知道，天氣功能是從『ポケットモンスター ルビー・サファイア』（精靈寶可夢 紅寶石/藍寶石）開始加入遊戲的。所以我們認為，這是推出天氣同步功能的絕佳機會，而這個功能也讓我們朝「在現實世界中捕捉寶可夢」這個目標前進了一步。

We want changes in weather to have an impact on your gameplay experience. When it’s raining outside, the game world will match the real-world conditions. You’ll see rain falling from the sky and Water-type Pokémon appearing much more frequently, but that’s not all. While it’s raining, the Water-type Pokémon you catch in the wild or through Raid Battles will award more Stardust and have greater potential in battle. You’ll also be able to use your local weather patterns to your advantage in Gym battles and Raid Battles, as some move types will be more effective during certain weather conditions. We’re incredibly excited for you to experience this new dynamic weather gameplay system as it starts rolling out to Trainers around the world.

當外面在下雨時，你可以在遊戲中看到天空飄雨，而且地圖畫面上將會出現更多水屬性的寶可夢。除此之外，只要是在下雨時捉到的水屬性寶可夢，不論牠是野生的或是還是團體戰中的頭目寶可夢，牠的戰鬥能力將會更強大，而且你也在捉到牠的同時也能獲得比平常更多的星星沙子。當然，天氣也將是能讓你在道館對戰及團體戰中取得優勢的一大助力。只要能配合對戰時的天氣使出適當的招式，招式的威力就會變得更加強大。我們衷心希望這個全新的天氣同步功能，可以讓你的遊戲經驗變得更加多采多姿。

We also want to share two other changes coming to Pokémon GO alongside this update.

Battle Parties (Beta):

• • Trainers will be able to create and name teams of up to six Pokémon in their Pokémon collection for quick access when participating in Gym battles and Raid Battles.

對戰小隊（Beta版）

• • 你可以從同行隊伍中挑出6隻寶可夢組成對戰小隊，以便在道館對戰或團體戰中迅速載入。

Developer Comments: We’re thrilled to announce that we’re also rolling out the first iteration of battle parties. Battle parties are preset teams of up to six Pokémon that you are able to create and customize to fit your needs. Whether you want to create different parties for frequent Raid Battles, or have battle parties that take advantage of certain weather bonuses, this feature will make it easier than ever to quickly choose which Pokémon you bring to battle. During this beta phase, battle parties will be saved to your device, so you’ll need to reset your battle parties if you get a new device or use multiple devices to play Pokémon GO. Once the feature is fully launched, your battle parties will carry over to each device you log in with.

開發團隊備註： 除了天氣同步功能之外，我們同時推出了Beta版的對戰小隊功能。你可以依據你的需求，事先挑選6隻寶可夢來組成對戰小隊。每個訓練家最多可以事先組5支小隊。不論是你常用的6隻寶可夢，或是針對特定天氣優勢精挑細選的6隻寶可夢，都可以事先組成小隊，以便在對戰時迅速載入。在目前的Beta版中，對戰小隊將會儲存在你的裝置裡。因此每當你換用一個新的裝置時，就必須重新設定對戰小隊。待對戰小隊功能正式上線後，對戰小隊會儲存在遊戲伺服器上，你將可以在任一個裝置上載入你事先組好的對戰小隊。

Pokémon Storage:

• • Trainers will be able to increase the maximum number of Pokémon they can collect in their Pokémon Storage from 1,000 to 1,500 by purchasing Pokémon Storage Upgrades in the in-game shop.

提升寶可夢盒子的容量上限

• • 寶可夢盒子的容量將自1000提升至1500。你可以在商店購買「升級寶可夢盒子」來擴充盒子的容量。為了慶祝寶可夢盒子升級，我們決定贈送所有訓練家50隻寶可夢的容量！

Developer Comments: We’ve heard your feedback loud and clear. With the addition of Pokémon originally discovered in the Hoenn region, the need for more Pokémon Storage is greater than ever. You’ll now be able to store up to 1,500 Pokémon. We’ve also increased the minimum Pokémon Storage size by 50, so all Trainers will soon be able to carry 50 additional Pokémon.

開發團隊備註： 訓練家們的心聲，我們都聽到了！在豐緣地區的寶可夢加入Pokémon GO的同時，我們將寶可夢盒子的容量提升至1500，讓大家最多可以同時攜帶1500隻寶可夢。
