In summer, players can apparently expect quite a lot from Pokémon GO. Niantic is hopeful for legendary Pokémon!
In recent weeks and months, there have been some changes in Pokémon GO. Events regularly take place that reward trainers with monsters and item bonuses. Additionally, there are new functions and features such as daily rewards or evolution stones, which can now be found in the game. But that’s far from everything you can expect in the game.
Very soon, the Pokémon GO hype is expected to be reignited. The summer is said to be not just good, but legendary!
Niantic confirms: Legendary summer
These are positive news coming from the official side of the Pokémon GO team. The summer is apparently going to be something very special. This news came directly from Niantic’s head of product marketing.
At the Webby Awards, Niantic received the award for Best Mobile Game 2017. Archit Bhargava is Niantic’s head of product marketing and accepted the award at the ceremony. The winners’ “acceptance speech” could only consist of five words, and Bhargava chose them in a way that would make the hearts of trainers race. Check out the video to see what he has to say:
“This summer will be legendary,” Bhargava tells the audience at the Webby Awards. As the head of product marketing, he knows exactly what impact these words have on the fans. He will not accidentally announce something that was not planned, but has chosen his words carefully.
It’s a marketing game to drop a topic but not to define 100% what is meant. He did not say “legendary Pokémon will be available in summer,” but announced the summer as legendary. Therefore, there remains a certain room for interpretation.
John Hanke and Niantic Japan provide further hints
In the past, there have already been hints from official sources aligning with a legendary summer. In an interview with Wired, John Hanke explained that legendary Pokémon will appear this year. However, he did not specify an exact date.
Furthermore, Niantic Japan explained that there will be a huge Pokémon GO event in summer. After this explanation, many fans speculated that legendary Pokémon will be integrated into the game along with raids. Unfortunately, there have not yet been any official details about a possible event.
So, there are gradually more and more hints that summer is going to be something great for Pokémon GO. At this point, one cannot confirm 100% that legendary Pokémon will appear this summer, but many pieces of information suggest otherwise.
While we assume that legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo will still appear this summer, we’ll only confirm this suspicion once Niantic officially confirms it.
