As we were expecting, Nintendo touched on Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee today during its E3 2018 showcase. We didn't learn very many new things about the games, with Reggie Fils-Aime essentially taking us through a recap of what was announced a few weeks ago. However, he did make a rather big announcement by revealing that Mew is going to come with every Poke Ball Plus accessory.
Still reeling from the news that the Nintendo Switch game Pokemon Let's Go will be an extension of Pokemon GO? You're not alone. We're running through the latest announcements and clarifications on what this game will bring to the public, what it'll mean to already have a Pokemon GO account now, and what the new Pokemon will be - and how you'll get it!
There's a new Pokemon toy in town, and it's called the Poke Ball Plus. This Pokeball-sized piece of equipment is made for more than one game - both the Pokemon: Let's Go game for Nintendo Switch and the mobile game Pokemon GO! This controller works different ways for each game, and doesn't do a single thing on its own.*
Today Jurassic World Alive went live - and it seems like it doesn't matter who you are, you can play. This game was made much in the same way the game Pokemon GO came about. It's based on Google Maps, using the smartphone of the user as an avatar to move around the world - and capture Dino DNA.
Today we're having a peek at all the new Pokemon coming to Pokemon GO this Spring and early Summer - ALOLA! Each Alolan version of a Pokemon has the same Pokemon root as its Kanto "Normal" form. Of course all Pokemon evolved from a single Pokemon at the origin of the Pocket Monster universe, but still - it's important to know that an Alolan Raichu is still an evolved Pikachu at heart.
Summer is coming to Pokemon GO, and that means big updates are about to hit. For this season of the GPS/AI mobile game, Niantic's bringing on the Alolan forms of Pokemon of all sorts - and that means some WACKY forms. Case in point, the Alolan version of Exeggutor. It has a very, very long neck. It's very tall, and it looks insane.
This morning the server hosting the ticket sales site for Pokemon GO Fest crashed - in an extreme way. Users found themselves on the wrong end of a warning message that suggested tickets weren't available in certain quantities or in certain "sections" - North or South - which is silly. Users also got messages about the webpage's inability to process requests, and how users should most certainly "TRY AGAIN."
This morning we've come into possession of a new bit of knowledge on the current state of Pokemon GO. Apparently people are looking for Ditto - or are STILL looking for Ditto since the first appearance of this blob-like Pokemon. Not only do we know the current most likely Pokemon in which Ditto might appear, we've got word of a new Pokemon GO Fest 2018!
This week the folks at Niantic revealed their first ever Earth Day event for Pokemon GO. This event aims to bring all the Pokemon trainers to the yard where they'll pick up all the trash on the planet. Or at least all the trash at a select number of "cleanup events" in several countries around the world.
Both Latios and Latias appeared in Pokemon GO on the 2nd of April, 2018, for the first time ever. These Pokemon are amongst the first Legendary Pokemon to appear in the game that were originally discovered in the Hoenn region - that's Gen 3. These Pokemon will appear in the game for a limited time, and they'll only appear in Pokemon GO Raid Battles while they're here.
Just because you’ve successfully created and organized one of the biggest and most popular “augmented reality” games doesn’t exactly mean you’re well-equipped to organize a massive, real-world event. Niantic Labs learned that the hard way last year when it scheduled what should have been a great real-world Pokemon GO gathering. It not only turned into a disaster but, with the agreed settlement, has also turned into a huge financial loss for the now independent game developers.
