Celebrating the First Anniversary of Pokémon GO!

Trainers,

We're celebrating two amazing milestones—Pokémon GO's one-year anniversary and 750 million global downloads—and you're invited to join in on the fun! Over the next few months, we're hosting real-world and in-game events planned alongside some very exciting new features that will get you outside exploring the world with family and friends. Get ready for an action-packed couple of months!

To kick things off, we will be hosting the Solstice Event starting on June 13, 2017. This in-game event will feature Fire-type and Ice-type Pokémon, huge XP bonuses for throwing Poké Balls accurately, and discounted Lucky Eggs in the in-game shop. Soon thereafter, you can look forward to a new update focused on collaborative group gameplay features that will get you playing Pokémon GO in fun new ways. In preparation for these exciting features, we'll be temporarily disabling Gyms for a short period of time.

We're also excited to announce our first ever real-world Pokémon GO event coming your way: Pokémon GO Fest Chicago! This event will take place in downtown Chicago, Illinois, USA at the beautiful Grant Park on July 22, 2017. Join us as we celebrate the Pokémon GO community with a ton of exciting festivities. Tickets and more information for Pokémon GO Fest Chicago will be available at PokemonGoLive.com/Fest on Monday, June 19 at 10:00 A.M. PDT, so make sure to mark your calendars and follow our social media channels to be notified when tickets go live! European Trainers can look forward to Pokémon GO celebrations hosted across the continent from June through September in partnership with Unibail-Rodamco shopping centers. We'll be posting a complete schedule for these events very soon. Also, The Pokémon Company is organizing ”Pikachu Outbreak", a Pokémon event in Yokohama, Japan, in August where they're exploring a unique Pokémon GO experience. Stay tuned for even more details surrounding each of these events in the coming weeks.

Keep an eye on PokemonGoLive.com and our Pokémon GO social media channels for the latest news and updates surrounding the exciting features and events coming your way. See you outside!

Too little, too late.

But GAF doesn't play anymore so it must be a bomb-flop!

 

[Calm Mind]

Too little, too late.

First post is an honor. Not a joke.

 

[T.O.P]

Too little, too late.

Awful first post

 

[EhoaVash]

Fuck gamefrea-

Oh it's go. Might redownload it then

 

[Valkerionseven]

Eh, Fire and Ice type increases is nice and all though I do have way too many slugma in my city (near a volcano so I guess it makes sense)

But I was hoping for better than xp boost for accurate throws. You don't gain anything interesting in the higher levels and that discount for lucky eggs is lame too. Better spawn a Moltres and Articuno or something along with it.

 

[Palette Swap]

I really look forward to coop.

My biggest issue for a mobile game is how there definitely aren't enough events in the game. They're getting better at this, but there should be something going on half the time.

 

[TangerineCloud]

Nice. Just started playing this again recently with my girlfriend, so I'm definitely interested in seeing what the co-op features are.

 

[stargateheaven]

Too little, too late.

those millions of daily players probably don't agree with you.

 

[Waluigilicious]

Too little, too late.

The game is so successful that even if a small percentage of everyone who played still plays, it's a huge success.

 

[BassForever]

Too little, too late.

Say that to the millions of people who play this daily. I would if I didn't live in the rural ghetto.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Too little, too late.

is this satire?

 

[Snkfanatic]

Too little, too late.

When you are that pressed to make an edgy first post.

Come on

Ugh I wish I thought of that headline

Wow takriel, lotta bites today!

 

[PillarEN]

I still play a few times a week. Any little shake up will get my attention. It's a fun little time waster when I'm up and about in the city.

 

[Master Yoshi]

I would still pick this up occasionally if the gameplay were to mirror the original games more.

 

[Hazu]

It doesn't matter anymore, all my friends stopped playing, and I haven't seen anyone plays this game in like forever in my town. No way I'm playing this alone.

 

[stilgar]

Too little, too late.

LOL

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Too little, too late.

Bruh you are as ignorant as Ash always thinking he is 10.

 

[Maximo]

Dam if your friends aren't playing then I guess GO is doomed.

 

[Hazu]

What? I never said Pokemon GO was doomed or anything like that, was just talking about my personnal experience.

Why do you need to be so mad about this?
