Pokemon Go news nest migration update
Pokemon Go players can expect a new nest migration in the next 24-hours, as Niantic faces a potential paywall ban in the US.
The next Pokemon Go nest migration is expected to take place soon, although some fans on Reddit have reported strange nest behaviour already.
The Silph Road Twitter page posted: "The next Nest Migration should hit in just over 48 hours, travellers. Don't forget to check your local nests first!"
However, a few players have said that certain nests had changed already, although this appears to be the norm ahead of a mass migration.
In other Pokemon Go news, Niantic might be forced to pay for permits to enable Pokemon Go in Milwaukee County Parks.
While this may not directly affect players outside of the US state, it could have long-term implications for Pokemon Go if other areas follow suit.
It would also make it tricky for Pokemon Go players to capture those rumoured Gen 2 Pokemon.

According to the Milwaukee Record, the park is trying to piush through an ordinance that would require virtual and location-based augmented reality games to apply and pay for permits in Milwaukee County Parks.
It all stems from the chaos caused by last summer's Pokemon Go launch.
Here's an extract from the ordinance proposal: "Virtual and location-based augmented reality games are not permitted in Milwaukee County Parks except in those areas designated with a permit for such use by the Director of the Department of Parks, Recreation, and Culture.
"Permits shall be required before any company may introduce a location-based augmented reality game into the Parks, effective January 1, 2017.
"The permitting application process is further described on DPRC’s website for companies that create and promote such games.
"That process shall include an internal review by the DPRC to determine the appropriateness of the application based on site selection, protection of rare flora and fauna, personal safety, and the intensity of game activities on park lands.
"Game activity shall only occur during standard park hours, unless otherwise authorized by the DPRC Director, who has the authority to designate special events and activities within the Parks outside of the standard operational hours."
The news comes after Pokemon Go rival Pokemon Duel was given a surprise release on iPhone and Android.
Known as Pokemon Co-Master in Japan, Pokemon Duel is described as a strategy board game, players use virtual Pokemon figures to build a deck and go head-to-head with rivals.
"Pokemon Duel is a strategy board game that uses virtual Pokemon figures," reads the description.
"Build a deck with your favourite figures and then leap into a League Match! Compete with players from around the world for a chance to enter the top League rankings in League Matches.
"You’ll fight your rivals in real time! Win duels, get all kinds of cool figures and items, and make your deck stronger!"

You can download Pokemon Duel by visiting the iOS App Store for iPhone and iPad.
Android users can download Pokemon Go for free by visiting the Google Play Store.
If you're not sure how to play, Pokemon Company has broken down the different steps required to best the world of Pokemon Duel.
- By strategically assembling their team of six Pokémon, each with its own strengths and a set number of steps it can take, players can take different routes to rush toward the goal or block the opponent’s Pokémon from advancing.
- When two Pokémon from opposing teams meet, a battle commences, and the players spin each Pokémon’s Data Disk to see which Attack each Pokémon will use.
- In addition to moving Pokémon and battling, players will also be able to use a plate at the start of their turn. These plates have various effects, including swapping positions of Pokémon in play and giving their Pokémon various battle enhancements for that turn.
- The player who reaches their goal first wins the duel.
