Pokémon GO Valentine’s Event Announced

Pokémon GO is showing just how much they love their fans this Valentine’s Day by releasing Generation II increasing the amount of candy gained and making some rare Pokémon more common!

With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, we couldn’t think of a sweeter time to double the amount of Candy you’ll earn every time you catch, hatch, and transfer Pokémon. Your Buddy Pokémon is also getting into the Valentine’s Day spirit and will find Candy twice as fast!

Throughout the celebration, you’ll notice that Chansey, Clefable, and many other adorable pink Pokémon will be encountered more frequently in the wild. Cleffa, Igglybuff, and Smoochum will also be more likely to hatch from Eggs. And to help you paint your town pink this Valentine’s Day, Lure Modules will last for six hours for the entire duration of the event.

This limited-time celebration will only be available from 11:00 A.M. PST on February 8, 2017, to 11:00 A.M. PST on February 15, 2017, so grab your valentine, get out, and explore the world around you!

Ready to fire up GO and grab a pink Pokémon, stock up on candies or try your luck with some lure modules?! Fun fact: Clefairy is actually my buddy Pokémon!

  2. How Pokemon Go could’ve been a good game

    – Simple battle mechanics, doesnt have to be as deep or complex as the main series, but a battling system.
    – A tracker that works
    – Sprinkle in some gen 2 mons at release to add extra variety to spawns
    – Being able to train and level up pokemon.
    – Bluetooth/LAN battling
    – Treasure boxes that randomly spawn containing items, eggs and coins
    – Consistant updates
    – Replace Teams with user made factions that control gyms. Players can join eachother’s factions.

    Thoughts?

    Pokedex Entry: These small Pokémon can supposedly squeeze and squish into any space imaginable. Their goal is to find a place in which their swarm can find a suitable nest. If owned by a trainer, it will selflessly protect them since they play as its leader. It is entirely fixated on that one goal, regardless of the situation at hand and hardships they face. Trainer raised and wild Incinion are said to be drastically different from each other.

  5. Yo got my first regional variant concept for my rebooted Dex, working on the first form before finalising its two evos

    Name: Regional Rhyhorn
    Type: Steel/Normal
    Ability: Bulletproof/Sturdy/Filter
    Basis: Dürer’s Rhinoceros and a knight (more apparent later)
    (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dürer's_Rhinoceros)

    Flavour Text: Will be split into Dex entries later

    When Rhyhorn was first brought from a distant land, rumours spread of it possessing armor that rivalled the hardness of iron. Dissapointed that this was not the case, am ancient king bred Rhyhorn to become iron armored behemoths for use in his army.

    This Pokémon is immensely heavy, and eats minerals high in metals. Due to their sheer power and expensive eating habits, they’re very rare. The rarest of them all is the shiny variant, who’s armor matches gold in beauty and iron in strength.

    Whilst originally used to take down forts in ancient days, this Pokémon is now a police Pokémon due to its resilience, loyalty and strong charging power.

  7. Well it would seem someone broke the internet in a fit of anger because they were unhappy about a certain beautiful someone fixing their clothing up to look respectable and now I am unable to connect to the internet. I must leave for a bit to help Madame Wicke get it back up. Goodbye beauties!

    (Nah but my internet stopped working and I don’t want to use any more data so bye)
