		- Pikachu face
		- Poké Ball
		- Instinct , Mystic , and Valor  logos on Gyms based on which team owns the Gym
		- Generic Pumpkin Carving
		- Rocket Carving  for PokéStops with a Team GO Rocket invasion
	+ Leaf piles , grassy areas turned brown, water and clouds changed colors.
	+ Floating down leaves.
