To celebrate the game’s one year anniversary as well as 750 million global downloads, real-world events will be taking place throughout the summer and into September. The biggest of these will be the Pokémon GO Fest scheduled to be held in Chicago, Illinois on July 22. Ticket prices have not yet been announced. European players can expect special GO events held in Unibail-Rodamco shopping centers.
Furthermore, beginning on June 13 players can participate in the Solstice Event in Pokémon GO (iOS/Android) which will increase the rates of Fire and Ice-type Pokémon, offer bonus XP for Pokéball throws and also feature a Lucky Egg discount. The event will run only until June 20 though, so watch your calendars carefully!
In addition, Niantic has posted some cryptic words hinting at the long-rumored “gym rework” which will improve the system in which players capture and control Pokémon Gyms, “Soon thereafter, you can look forward to a new update focused on collaborative group gameplay features that will get you playing Pokémon GO in fun new ways. In preparation for these exciting features, we’ll be temporarily disabling Gyms for a short period of time.” We’ll have to wait and see what these new updates bring!
How are you feeling about all this GO news? Still out there catching Pokémon in the real world?
POKEMON BOOM: FIRE AND ICE
Its my last day of School and now this?!
Great day for me BOIzzzz!
8 GOD DAMN LOSSES IN A FREAKING ROW 11!@!@@(&#(&@#t@^*#t *^@)#t*^n*^*d*gmdwgfttdtdnw*tdnm^twdn*dmw*ywmt*m*fm#^*gmgm*^gmg*#m*yrgvsvb
78 DOWN TO FUCKING 19 COME ON1
I’ve gone on streaks where I lose every match in a day (which could be 20 in a row at times)
But did your rank or placement suffer?
KNOWING THAT EVERY LOSS MEANS I NEED TO WIN TWICE AS MANY TO GET BACK TO WHERE I STARTED WITH THE CONSTANT FEAR OF IT GETTING EVEN LOWER
I normally don’t worry about my rank I just do it for funsies
well then it is meaningless
truly, these comments are annoying
Agreed friend agreed
It would have been better to just release every gen of Pokemon at once in GO. I wonder how many people still play it… It’s become a little boring to me.
Releasing every gen at once will probably disrupt the balance of the game though.
Or releasing every gen at all, not just at once. As much as I’d love to have all the Pokemon in the game, it wouldn’t work with the current model. You’d never be able to find that next Bidoof candy. If they did that, they’d have to remodel the candies by type instead of species.
I still play yet nothing is around my last catch was last week to catch my first Aipom
Living in Minnesota, fire types aren’t all that common so I’m glad to hear they’re finally getting an event!
Summer is here man! In less than 2 hours for me at least
Ok Summer starts whats the first news story on my phone?

WTF?!
Man, I would be so interested in GO if I could get all Pokemon by now. Its been a year, and they are still just doing Kanto and Johto. Nintendo is the masters of appealing to old fans. It’s quite annoying
Well has to take a while to program it all I mean it can’t be as easy as taking ORAS sprites and coding them to a mobile database, it probably takes a long time with long hours to get it done (we probs. By End of summer beginning of Autum get Wynaut, Azurill and the others)
Anyone else see the Heracross in the go event?

They look kinda cool

AAAAAARRRGHHHHFU KINHAGIGKFU KING SHIT PISS GOD FUCKING DAMN IT
I told you they were going to be banned soon
WELL THAT MEANS I CANT FUCKING PLAY ANYMORE
Ummm how? The tier is much more balanced
Because they were key components to myFUCKING TEAM
Slurpuff being my dual tank and Pangoro being just plain useful
NOW MY TEAM’S DYNAMIC IS OFF AND NOTHING I LIKE FILLS THE HOLES
Umm, make a new team around Emboar who’s actually useful
Just pack a dark type for the now busted Jellicent
EASIER SAID THAN FUCKING DONE
MY FUCKING CHEST
Its easier now
NO NOT FOR ME I DONT LIKE ADJUSTING MY TEAMS
NOTHING ELSE DOES WHAT THEY CAN DO
THIS DAY JUST KEEPS GETTING WORSE BY THE HOUR
Emboar
EMBOAR FUCKING ALONE CANT TANK SHIT LIKE SLURPUFF DID YOU IDIOT
You realize there are plenty of other tanks right? JELLICENT is the boi right now
I HATE THAT THING,
You should use it
It’s the Kingdra counter the tier needed
THATS WHAT SLURPUFF DID
NOW I LOST A UNBREAKABLE WALL THAT DRAINS THE LIFE OUT OF EVERYTHING
NOT SOME FUCKING COMMONERS BELLY DRUMMER
Yeaaaah? If a Kindgra sets up in rain before Slurp’s in
That’s why Pangoro tries to slow it down by knocking it off
That Sash saves it from that and let’s me two shot Ribombee
But now we have a dedicated mon who basically buttfucks it entirely
Who the stupid Jellyfish
Yeah, it’s honestly one of the best possible drops, it counters a lot of currently broken shit
NYRAGRGHHHH, all it fucking does is sit around spamming recover and toxic

XURK AND BUZZWOLE DROPPED!? THAT’S CRAAAAAAZY
AND BISHARP JUMPED!! DECI IS VIABLE AGAIN YES!!!!
Yessss…no more Nidoqueen in RU.
And Clefable back in OU
I’m happy to Bisharp, aka #1 Decidueye counter, banned
And Nido was really the only special attacker who dented ARaq
BUT WHY IS FUCKING XURK IN UU!?
Lol. Xurkitree and Buzzwole in UU should be fun.
FUCK MY LUSATEAM IS USELESS NOW I LOST CLEFABLE
DON’T PANIC
EXCEPT XURK IS IN FUCKING UU
AND BUZZWOLE IS KILLED BY LIKE ONE MON
BUT NOW I HAVE A WHOLE TEAM THATS USELESS NOW…. ;~;
;~;
Xurkitree in UU…. this is going to be fun
And now my chest is hurting
Can I please fucking die, things are not worth living for at this point
I’m always in physical pain.
Welcome to the club.
pack a Gliscor in UU…. seriously…. fucking Xurkitree better get banned so fast…
He’ll be dropping any moment
The Neatest Legendaries ever Y they skip the their 3rd game tbh I was wanting the concept of Necrozma apply on the Kalos trio just imagine Yveltal have Zygarde form. http://i.4cdn.org/vp/1496894472047.jpg
Yeah these guys were really cool…and then their role in the story was so lame :/
They were literally just hostages
Yeah they literally actually did nothing and had probably less than a minute of screen time. And you don’t even “learn” about them until you beat the 7th gym
The legendary pkmn should have its own area like Mewtow, Ho-oh and Hoenn trio, Giratina, puting legendary in the lap is so lame idea.
Is Star here?
Pokemon Stars de-confirmed …..Muhahaaaa.
Is UltraDae also OK?
http://i.imgur.com/pc66GCc.jpg
He’s always Ok.
But really I just wanted to ask Star something
I’m here now just woke up
I just wanted some help in designing the protagonists for my fangame and I thought you could help me a little (at least with the girl)
I don’t mean now, I just wanted to know if you’re okay with that
Oh sure
What should they be like?
Young teenagers, blond hair, blue eyes. There’d have to be two sets of clothes, one for the Summer version and one for the Winter version (is that too much?). I thought about making the clothes in one colour palette: mostly red and white with some gold and some blue.
Oh I like the summer and winter ideas
Yeah in one version snow is everywhere and in the other it’s always sunny.
Neeaat yeah I can start drawing up ideas later
Great!
SM legends in shiny form are usually trash. But when they’re in the special phases they turn into Cotton Candy and Stawberry Ice Cream!

https://cdn.bulbagarden.net/upload/4/4e/Spr_7s_791R_s.png
Damn I want those. They are shiny locked, though, aren’t they?
Yup
Ooo the Lunala one is so awesome! Solgaleo’s is better, but I still prefer the regular Solgaleo
I want a shiny Pherosma so much…
Last 10 mins of school comes
Watching people play Mario Kart Wii in the Planetarium with my friends
Best end… EVER!!!!
UGHHHHH I have to resort to freaking Tyrantrum and Malamar
Tyrantrum is top tier too fyi
With Clefable out of UU I think I’m officially done with competitive battling for a while
Just go to the lower tiers, they’re fun
NU is where it’s at to be honest.
Especially now
Same for RU
I really don’t get why Xurkitree went to UU. Unless you have a Gliscor, Xurkitree is going to decimate pretty much everything in that tier, especially with the Z-Electric Terrain and Z-Hypnosis sets.
And even then it has hp ice
Lol. What’s a Gliscor to HP Ice.
