SPOILER ALERT – It’s a very good adrenaline pumping Pokemon inspired video ending with a brief glimpse of MewTwo OMG.  Anyway hop over to this link and watch the video and get ready y’all this summer is gonna be lit!

Trainers got a major surprise this morning as Niantic announced a HUGE update launching this week with Pokemon Go.  Players have been anxiously waiting word of new Pokemon and updates to the game and it seems it’s finally here.  According to a new blog post this morning, Niantic will be releasing 80 new Johto Pokemon from the Johto region “this week”.  Pokemon from the Gold and Silver games are to be showcased in this release.

But wait there’s more:

  • New Evolutions – With new Pokemon come new evolutions so we can expect to evolve most of these 80 new Pokemon!  AND you’ll be able to evolve some original Kanto Pokemon into Johto Pokemon!  Expect new “evolution items” to show up at Pokestops too!
  • New Encounter Gameplay – Pokemon can act in “new ways” during encounters and “new item carousels” will be available for faster switching to balls or berries.
  • New Berries – Nanab and Pinab berries are being introduced to satisfy the “berry” hungry new and old Pokemon!  Nanab berries will slow Pokemon down to make them easier to catch and the Pinab berries will double the Pokemon candy on successful catch!!
  • New avatar and expanded wardrobes – Trainers will be able to update and refine both Avatars and their outfits!!
  • Hashtag #PokemonGo to report and share all your new experiences!!

PokemonGo Valentine’s Event February 8th – 15th

Events, Game Announcements, Pokemon GO, PokemonGO Extreme Fans

Well after the long anticipated wait for another PokemonGo event, Niantic announced the Valentine’s Day event this morning.  While expected to some degree it feels like a let down.  Recycled structure of previous events in that more candy is provided for catches, hatches, and transfers; as well as Buddy Pokemon additional candies and a spotlight is put on specific Pokemon.  We’ll see more Chansey, Clefables and “other pink Pokemon”.  Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smootchum will be likely to be hatched from eggs as well (UGH!!).  Festivities start 11am PST February 8 to 11am PST on February 15th, 2017.  I think we can all agree we need to start seeing some Gen 2 soon this game is going to lose even more players.
