Pokemon GO players have had several spats with Niantic over issues with the game recently. As the game has aged, the game has strayed farther from its wholesome, community-driven mobile game and has leaned heavily into monetizing more parts of the game. Niantic has introduced Community Day ticketed special research pathways which offer more rewards for a low fee. But it has also begun expanding into introducing new Pokemon through more expensive events, starting with Galarian Mr....

According to reports from a plethora of Pokemon GO users surfacing online, Niantic seems to have moved the rather ordinary Chinchou from the 10KM egg pool, as players have been able to hatch the creature from 5KM eggs instead. As it so happens, Chinchou didn’t originally hatch from 5 KM eggs, so it seems highly likely that developers decided to make the change regarding the monster sometime this week with little to no fanfare involved....

December 31, 2016 saw Pokemon GO record its biggest day of gross revenue since July 18, according to a report from VG247. Around $4.9 million is thought to have been spent on in-app purposes over the course of a 24-hour period. As a result, the week of December 26 was the game’s highest grossing since the month of July. However, this wasn’t solely down to its standout performance on New Year’s Eve — players spent $22....

The Pokemon Trading Card Game was first published 1996 and essentially gives players the chance to battle each other outside of the video game with cards representing the Pokemon, items, and other trainer characters. Pokemon GO is an augmented reality mobile version of the Pokemon video games that was developed by Niantic and released in 2016.

Currently, Pokemon GO is in its second week of the Ultra Bonus event. It is focusing heavily on aiding trainers with hatching eggs, providing opportunities to add regional exclusive Pokemon to their collection, including shiny versions for the first time. That portion of the event will wrap up early next week, then it is onto week 3 and the introduction of Generation 5 Pokemon into the game.

The Poke Ball Prep Rally hits Pokemon GO at the start of the weekend and is going to offer players a full week to enjoy some exciting spawns, bonuses, and features before the main GO Tour Johto activities arrive the following weekend. The event has a lot going on, so players should start preparing now by reviewing some of the upcoming activities and when they kick off.

Thankfully for the many Pokemon GO fans calling for the features to be added, they may not have much longer to wait until trading and PvP battles become available. John Hanke, the CEO of Pokemon GO developer Niantic, tells Waypoint in an interview that the features are “going to be done soon.” The executive says that, “I’ll take the massive wave of hysteria we enjoyed, and just deal with the fact that it’s caused us to take a bit longer to get the rest of the features up....

Pokemon GO Ultra Unlock 2021: Sword and Shield Timed Research End Date Prior to getting into the tasks and rewards featured in this new Pokemon GO Timed Research, it is worth mentioning that it will only be available until Tuesday, August 31 at 8pm local time. While players that put a bit of effort toward the Sword and Shield Timed Research should not have much trouble completing all of its tasks before then, it is better to get started sooner rather than later....

It gives some Pokemon a nice little touch and a unique way to express themselves in Pokemon Legends: Arceus. 15 Raging Fury Hisuian Arcanine was one of the most anticipated Pokemon in the build-up to Legend’s launch....

Before players unlock the Friendship Checker in Pokemon Legends: Arceus, they will need to have made some progress through the main story Missions. These are different from Requests, as completing them moves the plot of Pokemon Legends: Arceus forward. Players need to complete Mission 7 “The Frenzy of the Lord of the Woods,” and then start Mission 8, called “Arezu’s Predicament.” After getting to this point, players should be able to find an NPC named Belamy hanging out near the Pastures in the southeastern corner of Jubilife Village....

RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - The Best Fire-Type Pokemon (& Where to Find Them) These days, however, many players prefer Pokemon that can fill multiple roles on their team, which has made Pokemon with secondary typings a lot more desirable than they once were. As a result, the best Ground-types in Pokemon Legends: Arceus tend to offer the best of multiple worlds rather than being strictly mono-type Pokemon. 5 Mamoswine Mamoswine is nowhere near as bulky as its size might otherwise suggest, but can still pack quite a punch thanks to its 130 Attack stat....

Pokemon Legends: Arceus is the latest game in the series from Game Freak, with Nintendo listing it as a mainline title in the Pokemon franchise. It features the biggest departure from the mainline series yet with open-ended exploration, new battle mechanics, and even resource gathering and crafting. It’s been compared with Breath of the Wild for its aesthetic and Monster Hunter for its gameplay mechanics. RELATED: Nintendo Releases 13 Minutes of New Pokemon Legends: Arceus Gameplay...

RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - The Best Psychic-Type Pokemon (& Where to Find Them) Some lore differences between Pokemon Legends: Arceus and entries that take place in the “present” (such as Pokemon Diamond/Pearl) can be potentially be excused as the Pokemon world evolving. However, other differences are a bit more glaring, and have already drawn more than a few question marks for certain fans. Warning: Late/End-game spoilers for Pokemon Legends: Arceus...

In this popular anime’s 24th Season, Pokemon Master Journeys, fans were introduced to Goh and Chloe Cherise, as they accompany Ash and Pikachu along on their adventures. Unlike other seasons, Ash and his friends travel across all eight regions, inevitably bumping into some old friends along the way. The last that viewers saw of Pokemon was in “A Midsummer Night’s Light!” where fans were reunited with Dawn in the Sinnoh Region....

However, something that the majority of Pokemon fans would not enjoy if taken away from the franchise is the battling. With the moral concerns around training two magical animals to fight each other until one of them is unconscious aside, creating a team of strong Pokemon and have them work all the way up to face the Champion of a region is one of the most fulfilling aspects of a mainline Pokemon title....

RELATED: Pokemon Legends: Arceus - Every Pokemon with New Evolutions (& How to Evolve Them) Though one or two of them are a little hard to come by naturally due to the unusual methods needed to evolve them, players should have relatively little trouble getting every new evolution in Pokemon Scarlet & Violet once they know exactly what is required in order to evolve them. There are five Pokemon with new evolutions in total, all of which are available across both games....

Until Niantic decides to introduce a new legendary boss or bring back an old one, Pokemon GO players will have to keep themselves busy with the current rotation of regular raid bosses. Although the selection isn’t quite as exciting, especially with Larvitar Community Day right around the corner, there are still some worthwhile raids out there. Here’s a look at the available list, as of June 6, 2018… Tier 1 Swablu...

Each time a Legendary returns to tier 5 Battle Raids in Pokemon GO, trainers should take a bit of time to review their collection and put together an ideal counter roster. Taking the time to prepare before heading into the fight can help ensure that trainers don’t waste any valuable Raid Passes on failed attempts and that they do enough damage to earn as many Premier Balls as possible at the end of the fight....

Each Gen 3 wave of Pokémon added a shiny to the roster, and this latest addition to Pokémon GO is no different. In this latest wave, it is Swablu and its evolved form that get the shiny treatment, turning the typically blue-bodied Pokémon into a gold-bodied Pokémon. However, like most shiny Pokémon, catching a shiny Swablu will not be easy to catch. Right now, the Pokémon is a tier 1 raid boss or it can be caught in the wild....

Obviously the biggest event coming to the mobile AR game this summer is Pokemon GO Fest 2020, but that’s not the only thing to be excited about. There have been some major hints about new Pokemon arriving in Pokemon GO in the coming months and the new datamine throws some more fuel on the fires of that rumor. Whether the new Pokemon and forms will arrive as a part of GO Fest 2020 or later during a different event is still a mystery, but the newest image does tease some exciting new Pokedex entries....
