    Nice! It be nice if I actually had the update :(

    It's still not available for IOS users which is pretty dumb. They should release same day as Android.

    I'm Android also and I don't yet have the update. I thought the Pokemon buddy would be walking alongside you on the map. It's just in a little circle next to the avatar on the lower left in the video. To me that's pretty disappointing.

  • Yep, I just checked and my iStore doesn't have the update either, and I know I don't already have it because I haven't played GO in a number of days. Kiiinda hoping it rolls out soon, because we have nice weather here right now and I wanted to try it out. ;;;

  • Any iPhone players, I'm not sure if you need to update your phone software to get the update but I just did and I now have my Charmander as my buddy :D

  • So what I'd really like to see is a list of which Pokemon can go on your shoulder, because that's the sweetest.

    I've tried a couple to see and so far Eevee, Pidgey, Caterpie and Weedle can. I'm not sure if it's true but I was told Pikachu will go on your shoulder once you've walked a certain distance with him.
