Pokémon GO brings event ‘Adamant Time’ and sends you back to the year 2016

In Pokémon GO there is a new event: the “Adamante Time”. This is about monsters from the original Kanto region.

When does the event take place? “Adamante Time” starts on Monday, December 11, 2023, at 10:00 AM and ends on Friday, December 15, at 8:00 PM local time.

What kind of event is this? Even though there are now over 1,000 Pokémon: The first generation still has a place in the hearts of many players who have experienced their first Pokémon adventures with Bulbasaur, Squirtle, and Charmander.

During this brief event week, it’s all about such Pokémon: Those that come from the Kanto region and appeared more frequently in 2016, at the launch of Pokémon GO.

The event is part of the new season “Timeless Travels”:
