As part of Niantic’s attempt to keep us Pokemon Go trainers busy, there will be two events this weekend! My last post summarized the Articuno Day on Saturday. On Sunday, the monthly community day event will be live. This time around it will be Squirtle we will be chasing!
However, it seems that in addition to adding shinier and a new move to Blastoise, they will also add a new variant to Squirtle, with sunglasses! This comes from the original Anime series where Squirtle Squad first appeared. This is an interesting change as it adds more to go after. More importantly, it demonstrates how committed Niantic is to engaging the community with new content. Lastly, it seems that they are open to the community’s thoughts a this idea was put all over social media as soon as trainers notice the trend of using the Pokemon starter every other community day.
Like last month, I am preparing by ensuring I have a good supply of Poke balls ready for Sunday! Look forward to all the events this weekend and will keep you posted!
Thanks!
