Event Ideas For Niantic

This trend of releasing legendary Pokemon seems like a chain effect. I think Celebi is the last legendary Pokemon among gen 1 and gen 2 to be released. It is possible to be released when spring comes by.

Ye because Celebi is supposed to be the Guardian Of The Forrest so Iā€™d say weā€™ll get Celebi then because of Spring being the time when trees and plants start to grow.

Events true meaning is to help us out. We still need to give effort onto Pokemon GO. Niantic will not release legendary Pokemon that slow since gen 3 onwards because of the amount of legendary Pokemon.

Yeah I know but they didnā€™t release many things before dropping Gen 2 so Iā€™m saying Gen 3 drops in January and Celebi drops in March and thereā€™s the Valentineā€™s update in February. Thatā€™s a good 3 months donā€™t you think?

Amount of legendary and semi-legendary Pokemon in each gen:
Gen 1: 5
Gen 2: 6
Gen 3: 10
Gen 4: 13
Gen 5: 13
Gen 6: 6
Gen 7: 20!

Go Fest may release new legendary Pokemon.

Events base on capturing more Pokemon (predictions + the events held in the past):

  1. Halloween (Ghost and dark type)
  2. Christmas (Ice type)
  3. New Year (Fire type)
  4. Valentineā€™s day (Fariy type)
  5. The water Festival (Water type)
  6. Worldwide Bloom (Grass type)
  7. Adventure Week (Rock and ground type)
  8. Mid-Autumn Festival (Dragon and fairy type)
    You may add more festivals onto my list.
    (Notes: I canā€™t think of steel, psychic and fighting type events)

Fighting would be in memory of Muhammad Ali

How about the Earth Hour event?

Thatā€™s sometime in March next year right?

Youā€™re right. Itā€™s a annual and global event which people turn off all the lights for 1 hour to participate in it. I think it may convert the spawn of electric types into the spawn of grass and bug type Pokemon to promote environmental protection.

IMHO, it only seems like they(Niantic) only does events on a global scale, so it must be centered around a global event, ie equinox, fire and ice, new years, valentines. holloween event and the christmans event, those are pretty much global. and not to mention the starter pokemon even last new years and then the adventure week, grass event, and water festival. So i would say its safe to say that we are going to experience some heavy events for the next few months with holloween, thanksgiving (maybe but under a different name?), christmans and new years, then valentines in February. And not to mention that gen III has been staged for release with previous updates. Imma stock up on coins for future bundles (already got 3 ultra boxes for equinox =D )

The Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived in Hong Kong. However it doesnā€™t seems like Niantic concern about it.


Speculation is always a speculation. The Mid-Autum Festival event idea is considered as a garbage.

Look at the logo next to the searching bar, at least Google knows about it.

Great design from Google

For those who donā€™t know about Mid-Autumn Festival, I could tell the representatives are lanterns, mooncakes and the story of Chang E - the lady on the moon.

Google knows it (The design), Nintendo knows it (Super Mario Odessey), but what? Niantic doesnā€™t know it!!!:anguished:

We just had an event; they arenā€™t going to release another one 1 day later!

This images seem to be regional, here it doesnā€™t come up

2018: Replace Equinox event by Mid-Autumn Festival event

Regional event? However the Water Festival in Thailand is also a regional festival. When comparing these 2 festivals, Mid-Autumn Festival is a better option to hold a event. Taiwan, HK and some Japanese celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival but in fact only Thailand celebrates Water Festival. Thereā€™re actually no festivals being celebrated worldwide.

Oh @bagguille I know youā€™re talking about the image, not the festival. I wish Niantic could hold more regional festival events, to appease players from minorities over the world who canā€™t be involved into global events for example safari zones, GO Fest or maybe Ex raid test.

The more events are held, the more effective to rally players. One way for Niantic to show their efforts are holding events. Even though events are held one by one, this is not a matter to create disturbance or accumulate complaints. Events are purely chances to capture more Pokemons and receive more pokecoins.

If Pokemon GO is necessary to distant from the main series of Pokemon game, one of the major elements are events. Therefore, I doubt that events cannot be held frequently.

There should be some kind of event in November for sure. I always thought that an event with double candies and exp would be the grinders dream.
