In Pokémon GO, data miners have found hints of a new event. The name reveals puzzles – and possibly a hint about which Pokémon could be coming your way soon.
Where does the information come from? A datamining by the “Pokeminers” (via Reddit) uncovered several possible pieces of information. Among other things, the found code lines seem to confirm the Community Day with Abra. But that’s not all the Pokeminers found.
New event found: Several entries found point to a new paid event for Pokémon GO. They look like this:
string Key = “general1.ticket.1_description”
string Key = “badge_event_0001”
string Key = “badge_event_0001_title”
Behind these codes, there should be hints about an event called “A Drive to Investigate”. This is supposed to take place on March 22 between 10:00 AM and 8:00 PM and be accessible through a ticket. Datamining findings should always be treated with caution – nevertheless, the community is already speculating on Reddit: What could the title of the event indicate?
New event with Genesect?
What could the title mean? There is not much to the line “A Drive to Investigate”; however, it has fueled speculation. On Reddit, some players suspect that the title hides a paid event for the mysterious Pokémon Genesect. Why?
The key lies in the “Drive”. Drives are items introduced in Pokémon Black and White – just like Genesect. The Drives are referred to in German as “Module” and influence the type of Genesect’s special move “Techblaster”.
If the “Drive” in the title does indeed refer to the item, it would make sense for Genesect to be the event Pokémon. It could also possibly be an option for EX Raids, as players speculate. After all, Regigigas was released through a special ticket event and later became an EX Raid boss.
Genesect has long been among the candidates that could be eligible for EX Raids. Whether it will actually happen in March, we may find out in the coming days when Niantic makes an announcement.
