Pokemon Go October 2020 Community Day Detailed
October is just around the corner, and Pokemon Go developer Niantic has already announced a handful of events happening in the game next month. Beyond the fashion-themed event, Niantic is hosting another Community Day on Saturday, October 17, and the studio has now shared some more details about it.
As previously revealed, the featured Pokemon for October’s Community Day will be Charmander, the runner-up in Niantic’s recent Community Day poll. Throughout the event, Charmander will appear in the wild and in Raids more often than usual, making this a good opportunity to stock up on Charmander Candy. On top of that, you’ll have a better chance of encountering Shiny Charmander during the event.
This isn’t the first time Charmander has been the star of a Community Day; the Gen 1 starter was also the featured Pokemon back in May 2018, but this time around it will be able to learn a new event move. Every Charmander that you evolve all the way into Charizard up to two hours after the Community Day ends will learn the Dragon-type attack Dragon Breath. This applies to any Charmander that evolves during the designated time frame, even if you’ve caught them prior to the event.
Dirt 5 Supports Cross-Gen Saves On Xbox Series X/S, But Not PS5
While Codemasters’ Dirt 5 will offer free next-gen upgrades for both PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X, and Xbox Series S players, the former will not be able to transfer any progress from the PS4 version of the game when making the jump to the newer console.
This was confirmed on the game’s official Twitter account in a response to a fan question. When upgrading Dirt 5 from PS4 to PS5, the game will allow you to move across any Playground track creations but no progress from its campaign, any in-game currency, and custom livery designs. By comparison, all of these are supported when moving your save from Xbox One to Xbox Series X/S.
Dirt 5 is supporting Microsoft’s Smart Delivery program, which makes its cross-gen save situation easier to understand. But it’s now another game in a growing list of PS4 titles with next-gen upgrades that won’t support save transfers. Yakuza: Like a Dragon will also not let you transfer your save when it launches in March for PS5, while Sony’s own Spider-Man will not let you bring over your progress to the PS5 remaster. Curiously though, save transfers between the PS4 and PS5 versions of Spider-Man: Miles Morales are supported.
