Niantic Live 2020
Would you like to have a real-life Pokémon GO event, such as the Pokémon GO Fest or a Safari Zone, in YOUR city? If yes, you can nominate it on this website! Of course, there’s no guaranteed your city will be selected (especially if it’s not big enough), but you never know what could happen! You have until October 1st 2019 to nominate your city.
Pokémon merchandise
In Japan, Takara Tomy is planning to release a rather unique PokéBall-shaped toy on April 27th (price: 3 990 Yen). It works that way: you first have to think about a Pokémon (from among the 151 original ones), and then the Poké Ball will try to guess which one you chose by asking you questions such as “Is it yellow?”, that you can answer by “Yes”, “No”, “I don’t know”. It will do so until it’s determined which Pokémon you picked up!
