Pokémon GO Announces ‘Adventure Week’

by

A new event, dubbed Adventure Week, has been announced for the hit iOS/Android game Pokémon GO. It will run from May 18-25, so don’t miss it!

To help you stock up for your upcoming adventure, more items will be awarded from every PokéStop you visit, and Poké Balls will be 50% off in the in-game shop. Your Buddy Pokémon is also in the adventuring spirit and will find Candies four times as fast for the duration of the celebration. Whether you’re exploring your neighborhood or an exotic new location, make sure to watch for Rock-type Pokémon such as Omanyte, Kabuto, and their Evolutions. Keep an eye out—maybe you’ll even spot Aerodactyl!

In addition to the perks above, the event also rewards a cosmetic item: the Explorer’s Hat!

We’ll bring you more as it comes. Let us know if you’re excited to ROCK OUT with this new event!

  11. Do you remember my fan ability “name tag” I talked about? No? Too bad here are two fakemon that have it (and their preevolutions)

    Comibook
    Fairy
    The Comic pokemon
    Comibooks are friendly and are often given to children as their first pokemon. Even with the little power they have they will always use it to protect it’s owner.

    Evolves when you give it Melted Plastic (an item) into:

    Superine
    Fighting/Fairy
    The Hero Pokemon
    When you give Comibook some melted plastic it creates a new body for itself that it can use to protect it’s friends. They can fly using their magic and punch using their plastic fists of justice
    Based on Comic Books, superheros (mainly Superman) and Super Hero Figurines
    (The name tag ability changes the letter on Superine’s chest)

    Gamesole
    Electric
    The Video Game Pokemon
    Gamesoles aren’t very friendly pokemon. But if they finally are friends with you, you’ll have a great time. They are also very useful in battle.

    Evolves when you give it Metal Plates (also an item) into:

    Arcadoom
    Dark/Electric
    The Arcade Machine Pokemon
    When Gamesole evolve, they are more powerful and power makes them griddy and they use their power to attack helpless little pokemon just for fun. Only a great trainer can stop their Arcadoom from harming others, and if they manage to, they once again have a good friend.
    Based on Gameboys and Arcade Machines
    (The name tag ability changes the neon letters on Arcadoom’s sides)

    • I think all the tiles in this particular map are of my own creation or modified from reference images or tile rips from tsr. Though the original tileset itself is a somewhat modified version of one I found on deviantart.

      • you know I would like some replies instead of just up’s or whatever because I’m looking for actual feedback here.

        • -I don’t like the tileset; it looks very plain to me.
          -I don’t like that the gym is symmetric, unless it’s meant to be like that (but I wouldn’t see why).
          -I have a personal bias against using Gen 5 tilesets & sprites — I think they’re harder to work with and generally look worse than Gen 4 and 3. —What program are you using for the mapping?
          -Did you make the leader yourself? They actually look good. I think the other trainer classes used look out of place.
          -I don’t know how roulette tables work, so I can’t figure out the puzzle. Not to mention there’s more than just roulette tables at casinos.

          Sorry if that’s blunt, but I wasn’t going to comment at all before because it’s mainly negatives.

          • I guess.
            It is.
            OK.
            Tiled.
            Yes, using other sprites as a base, and the trainers are Rich Boys and Ladies.
            It’s more of a maze where you don’t know which path is correct and you can’t just go back, I should really redesign the puzzle to make it more interesting.

    • The map actually looks very cool

      (Sorry this is the only criticism that I have, I don’t have any nitpick to say :P)

  14. so with this Arms direct do you think they are not gonna talk about it at E3 now since the game does come out the last day of E3

    Reply

  24. Wow, so about that ARMS direct. . . that’s the last thing I expected. A Pokemon direct? Maybe. A general direct? Highly unlikely but still possible. An ARMS direct sandwiched inbetween an ARMS focused direct and E3? Not a chance, at least that’s what I would’ve thought. Should be pretty cool though, directs are always fun (this is the first stage of Nintendo directs. The last stage is dissapointment).

    • So its basically 40 dollars for 9 characters, or about 4.50 each. Still a better deal then Fire Emblems Echoes dlc! Here’s hoping that shit game fails like it has in Japan.

        • Yeah, but this is kinda unforgivable levels of bad. two packs that solely exist for grinding(where previous ones only needed one), ten DLC classes that require an absurd amount of grinding, four story maps taht are meant to tell the back story to things taht are briefly mentioned that nobody cared about that give crap items and reuse existing maps in the game, and the only pack worth anything is pack 5 that gives 2 maps, which gives four characters that 99% of western fans will have no idea who they are because their the OC’s from the fire emblem card game, and most players wouldn’t use anyways.

          At least with the previous one’s you could argue that the DLC was priced fair for what you were buying, and they didn’t push it nearly as hard as they have been.
