Over the past several updates to Pokemon GO, Niantic has been preparing for an inevitable event - and here's how we see it being Unown-heavy. On June 30th, 2016, SlashGear called Pokemon GO the best game EVER - that was just a few days before the first APK release to start the game worldwide, officially. If Niantic follows plans we've been tipped (anonymously, as always), we'll see the biggest event in the short history of Pokemon GO - and it'll arrive in just over a month!

Google Play as well as Apple's App Store now have the next Pokemon game Magikarp Jump. This game is very likely the most inane Pokemon game in the history of Pokemon games - and not only on the mobile platform. This is the latest effort by The Pokemon Company to cash in on the Pokmon craze created in part by Niantic's release of Pokemon GO. This game is not the same as Pokemon GO, but it has just about as many Magikarp inside.

The next Pokemon GO event update will come at or around Memorial Day - be it official or unofficial. When considering your plans for the Pokemon GO Memorial Day Event, it's important to keep in mind that Niantic's plans change all the time. Whether the general public knows it or not, there's a lot of quick moves going on behind the scenes, and bits and pieces of the game are prone to changing with very little notice.

In addition to news of Custom Pokestops popping up for users around the Pokemon GO universe, word of a new Fighting Type event has surfaced. The first bit of information comes from Niantic right up out in the open. According to the Niantic Help Twitter account, there can be little doubt that a submission system for Pokestops is in the mix for the near future. We promise not to try to make the rock pile behind our house a Pokestop - fingers crossed!

During the latest Annual Webby Awards, Niantic's global marketing product lead revealed seemingly big news in a tiny speech: "This summer will be legendary." He said this after accepting a handful of awards for Niantic, among them being 'Best Mobile Game' to exactly no one's surprise. This isn't the first time we've heard Niantic tease Legendary Pokemon for its mobile game, but this is the first time we've seemingly received confirmation about when they will arrive.

The world of Pokemon merchandise is as wide as it is deep. From Build-A-Bear stuffed animals to trading cards, there's some kind of Pokemon merchandise for everyone out there. Today we can add one more group of people to that list: the ultra-rich.

What the Pokemon GO Adventure Week event was supposed to be is a little different from what it's turned out to be. As far as news on promo codes - any rumors we've heard haven't come up Milhouse, while rock type Pokemon in this event are not exactly the same as the list that some had envisioned. Today we're taking a look at the details that are ACTUALLY in play VS what we were to expect.

Today begins the 7-day event in Pokemon GO called Adventure Week, so called because of its celebratory attitude. It's also a sort of undercover Indiana Jones party - which you'll find out more about in just a moment. But what you came here to see is when the event begins, for starters. Slap a bike helmet on and get prepared to roll for candy because this event begins this afternoon.

Over the past couple of weeks I've been using a Go-tcha Wristband for Pokemon GO. This Pokemon GO Gotcha (or however you want to write it) is essentially a Pokemon GO Plus with its button held down. It comes from the folks at Codejunkies, a group who specialize in the sort of devices that are akin to a modern-day Nintendo Game Genie. Cheaters without cheating, winning games because they're very good at backwards engineering.

The next in-game celebration event for Pokemon GO is about to go down - starting this week. Details on the event have been shared this morning for the event that'll take place starting on May 18th, 2017 - that's this Thursday - and will go on until the 25th of May. This event will focus on Rock Type Pokemon from the start and will be called "Adventure Week" - which of course means we'll be collecting so many Geodudes that we'll have rocks in our pockets for real. Or, you know, the more rare Pokemon of the Rock variety, like Omanyte and Kabuto.

A report alleging that a 'Legend of Zelda' mobile game is in the pipeline contained an extra bit of news: a tiny tidbit stating sources have revealed the existence of a new Pokemon mobile game. According to the sources, Pokemon Co. is working on a 'card-game app,' but further details on it are slight. This is said to be one of multiple mobile games based on popular franchises that are in the development pipeline.

Before today, catching Unown in Pokemon GO was one of the most impossible tasks in the game - not least of all because of the scale of the breed. This Pokemon is not only rarer than any other - it comes in an entire alphabet of different versions. Letters A through Z are included with the Pokemon in the game today - which makes getting the hidden medal for this elusive monster more difficult than any other.
