Pokémon GO Easter Event Announced

The rumors are true, Pokémon GO will be hosting an Easter Eggstravaganza Event!

From 1:00pm PST today until 1:00pm PST on April 20th, trainers will be able to take advantage of the following benefits:

  • Double EXP
  • Greater variety of Pokémon hatching from 2km eggs
  • Increased candy quanity for egg hatchs
  • 50% off on Lucky Eggs in the in-game shop

No word yet if the new Pokémon added to the 2km egg group will be brought down from the 5km and 10km groups, or if they’re simply Pokémon that usually cannot be hatched from eggs at all. For the official press release you can visit Niantic’s official blog!

  1. Nintendo has discontinued NES Classic. . .

    WTF Nintendo?! I don’t want one but it’s clear that there are a ton of people waiting to throw their money at them and and they just discontinue it.

  2. I miss the feeling of playing in 4 player lobbies as a robot, activating my luck based skill and killing my entire team on accident when I either get a friendly fire suicide bomb or cause everyone to bounce in rubber duck inner tubes making them unable to shoot the enemy right in front of them

  3. So apparently Josh Brolin is Cable in Deadpool 2. I didn’t even see that coming, considering he’s playing Thanos right now.

  4. If Pokejungle was a guild set in an RPG-esque world, what do you think everyone’s role would be?

    I’d totally be the weird white mage chef who puts healing ingredients into food which makes them disgusting yet dire in a mission

    • Normal/Fire normal because it’s a llama and fire because “Llama” literally means fire in Spanish.

      I know that making a typing based on names is a bad idea but a fire type Llama sounds interesting to me for some reason :^)

  5. So I just got back from seeing Your name. The closest theater showing it was about a two hour drive from me. And well, if you haven’t seen it, please do. It is now my favorite movie ever. Its a master piece. I’m still trying to process my emotions with it. Like I feel like I”m going to break down in tears and need a hug on one hand, and want to keep on smiling and cheer on the other. Its perfect.

    I am curious to ask if anyone else has seen it yet and to hear your thoughts on it.

  6. I know that I get on to people for saying it, but I think it’s justified in this case.

    Why is Unown in the game? It doesn’t evolve into anything better, is probably the only Pokemon that can’t evolve that is unusable in the game (other Pokemon just have varying levels of difficulty in game but are all able to be used on a normal playthrough, and unlike legendaries and other special Pokemon which can affect least be used versus friends, in lore, and as promotion it can’t really be used effectively anywhere in game

    Really hope they throw the things a bone :/

    So some time ago I posted badges and names of my gym leaders, so now I decided to show you who they are:

    An innovative modern chef
    Owner of a Candy Factory
    An old National Park Ranger
    A tough, muscular Ironworks worker/owner
    A Celebrity Talk-show Host
    An old lady that feeds birds (So creative)
    A Comic Book shop Owner
    An Owner of a giant furniture store

    (A lot of Owners… Huh…)

    • I like almost all the concepts, but IMO the names could use a little work 😡

      Like Clark and Dulce are honestly amazing names because they are sweet, simple, and roll off the tongue. They’re also more nuanced. Like I know we literally have a rock leader called Brock, but his name does roll off the tongue better and is an actual name irl

      • Some names are supposed to sound like slavic names, so they won’t be so easy to say, but I could work on some of them. Which ones are the worst for you?

        Reply
        • It’s not the slavic names that are the issue (Svar and Drakoslav are pretty rad names), it’s mostly Winda and Typica that kinda rub me the wrong way tbh, they just seem… Off to me, they lack nuance and I just think having two with the same name scheme (type thing + – a) is a bit off

  8. I like how Pokemon Go still has these little event things. It shows how much attention it attracted. I just wish other pokemon games attracted this much interest.
    (@armaggedon16:disqus and @ithsme:disqus did a battle happen?)

    • Pokemon Go owes its interest to being vastly more accessible (it’s free to play with very simple mechanics, even by Pokemon standards) whereas mainstream Pokemon has the price barrier of both the console and the game itself. It’d be nice to have as much attention tbh, but Pokemon already has one of the biggest if not the biggest active gaming fandoms out there
