After the weekend's drama of uncovering an apparent new Pokemon in the update data for Pokemon Go, followed by said new Pokemon appearing after the Chikorita Community Day for capture (albeit with it immediately turning into a Ditto afterwards), The Pokemon Company International has officially revealed the Pokemon as Meltan.

If you're one of the regulars who've been dropping by every week, the bad news is that we're going to be cutting back on the streams to focus on doing just one main stream every week, rather than repeating the format across the entire weekend.
