New Pokémon to be revealed in a 24-hour Sword and Shield livestream

The Pokémon Company is preparing to broadcast a 24-hour Pokémon Sword and Shield livestream that will unveil a brand new location and some more Pokémon native to the Galar region. 

Under the title The Pokémon Live Camera, the stream will take place on Friday, October 4 at 6am PT/ 9am ET/ 2pm BST and run for a full 24 hours. 

According to the official Pokémon Sword and Shield site, the stream will show “live footage for 24 hours from a camera set up in Glimwood Tangle—a strange forest location deep within the Galar region.” 

Who's that new Pokémon?

It seems that the camera has been set up by Professor Magnolia’s assistant, Sonia, who is looking to observe the Pokémon that live in the forest and learn more about them. If you're prepared to put on your Attenborough hat, you can join her. 

Sonia's message reads “I’m sending this message because I could really us your help with some research I’m doing. Next week, a camera will be set up in a strange forest here in Galar … if you could take a gander when you have time that’d be just great.” 

The livestream will be hosted on the official Pokémon Twitch and YouTube channels, where, the official site states, “This is your chance to get to know the various Pokémon that make their home in this forest! You may notice things that surprise you!” It seems likely that this means the stream will be the chance to catch a glimpse of some new Pokémon or even some new evolutions from the Galar region.

Any new creatures that are introduced will add to those we’ve seen already from the latest generation which include a Galarian Weezing, Polteageist, Wooloo and, of course, Sirfetch'd, the long-awaited evolution of Farfetch'd. 

Pokémon Sword and Shield launches on Nintendo Switch on November 15.

The future of Magic Leap's promising AR efforts dim after layoffs

The Magic Leap Two is now further away than ever, unfortunately. Today in a blog post the augmented reality pioneer announced major layoffs and has decided to cut up to half of its workforce, according to some reports. The original Magic Leap One was supposed to be one of the first mainstream augmented reality headsets when it launched in 2018, but a high price point and lack of interest from developers left the headset high and dry after launch. According to the blog post, Magic Leap says it will be focusing its efforts on enterprise solutions (a statement HTC has made recently as well) and shift its focus away from consumer technology… at least for the time being.  The company has been open about creating a second headset that would offer improved specs for some time, but how that work will now have to go forward without half of the team , according to some estimates, remains to be seen. Is the window closing on augmented reality?  Although it’s just one company, Magic...

Airship acquires SMS commerce company ReplyBuy

Airship is announcing that it has acquired mobile commerce startup ReplyBuy . The startup (which was a finalist at TechCrunch’s 1st and Future competition in 2016) works with customers like entertainment venues and professional and college sports teams to send messages and sell tickets to fans via SMS. It raised $4 million in funding from Sand Hill Angels, Kosinski Ventures, SEAG Ventures, Enspire Capital, MRTNZ Ventures and others, according to Crunchbase . Airship, meanwhile, has been expanding its platform beyond push notifications to cover customer communication across SMS, email, mobile wallets and more.

While sports and concerts tickets might not be a booming market right now, Caine suggested that the company is actually seeing increased purchasing activity “in and around the Airship platform” as businesses try to drive more in-app purchases. He also suggested that both the COVID-19 pandem...
