Players are waiting for the anniversary event in Pokémon GO, as the game celebrates its birthday. However, the developers have not yet announced any events.
Pokémon GO is now one year old and is celebrating its little anniversary. On this occasion, trainers around the world expect an in-game event, as a hint has already appeared in the code.
However, there is no official news from Niantic yet. Trainers are becoming impatient.
Update: It is now official! The birthday event starts today – Here are the rewards
Birthday Event – When will there be news?
On July 6, 2016, exactly one year ago, Pokémon GO was first released. From July 13, Germany was also involved and quickly fell into the hype surrounding the new augmented reality hit. Now players assume that Niantic will invite them to the big celebration. There is good reason: Pokémon GO is successful and had a dream year with over 1.2 billion dollars in revenue.
In the game’s code, there have also been hints that put trainers’ patience to the test even more. Data miners found the line ONE_YEAR_ANNIVERSARY, which clearly indicates the one-year anniversary. However, apart from many rumors, there is still no news of an event.
How is Niantic celebrating the birthday? Some speculate about a shiny Pikachu, while others want to know that the legendary Pokémon will appear for the birthday. But no reliable source can be named. We hope the developers will report officially about an event soon. On Twitter, they showed fans that they are apparently excited about the anniversary.
We are excited and hope to receive more information about an event during the course of today. What would you like to see in the game? More experience points, legendary Pokémon, or entirely new mechanics like a trading feature?
