The developer of Pokemon Go has introduced something that will hopefully restore players’ faith in the company’s ability to host real-life events. Pokemon Go ‘s Community Days will be held everywhere in the world at local parks/public spaces at specific times. The first Community Days event is happening this Saturday, January 20, 2018.
While Niantic’s attempts at specific locations and large-scale events seem to be a thing of the past, this is a similar effort. During the hours of the Community Days events, there will be double XP, Lure Modules will last three hours, and there will be a special Pokemon that can only be captured during the event. The Pokemon available during these events will be ones that have a move they wouldn’t normally learn. For example, this Saturday’s special Pokemon is a Pikachu that knows Surf. That might ring some bells for people, since that was the same type of Pikachu you could get in Pokemon Yellow .
Those interesting in participating in Community Days events can expect them to happen once a month. This first one on Saturday will take place between the hours of 11 AM to 2 PM PST. For those in Europe, Africa, India, and the Middle East, the event will start at 10 AM and go until 1 PM UTC. And last but not least, those in Asia-Pacific countries can expect the event from noon to 3 PM JST.
Will you be heading out on Saturday to catch Pikachu and earn some extra XP?
