"The Silph Road Needs Your Help - Grab an Item Finder and Spread Out!"

#PokemonGO: Travelers,A malicious (though perhaps a bit batty) party has taken advantage of our vulnerable network state and leaked sensitive research documents. While we are handling the Kyoto situation as best as we can, the more we have learned about the facility's research, the greater the danger we have understood the world to be in.Data ReleaseFor this reason, we are taking an unprecedented step of releasing the fragments of our scientists' research - warts and all - to the Silph scientific community. The fact is, we need your help travelers.We believe the explosion in the Kyoto facility was the result of conductivity testing on a rare power-up item. It appears our scientists may have vastly underestimated the latent power in this item. Our researchers, we think, were engaged in locating more of these items. At this point, that is all we know.We are actively working on decrypting the back-up drives that may have survived the catastrophe and will share more if we make any progress. Here are the files we have recovered so far:https://ift.tt/2EbOrxD Silph Tech!To help leverage the entire Silph Road community in this effort, we are releasing a new piece of Silph Tech: the Item Finder app for Android devices.You can download the Android app here: https://ift.tt/2J9bugw could also download our beautiful iOS app - but for some reason it won't engage BlueTooth LE so we've had to pull it for the time being pending an upgrade!)We need your combined researching powers, travelers. Help us confirm if the rumors and legends surrounding these powerful artifacts are true. Because if they are ... we're in for the fight of our lives.- Executive Dronpes - via /r/TheSilphRoad https://ift.tt/2H4G7TP
