Pokémon Go Turns 10: A Decade of Adventure and Discovery

As we mark a decade since the release of Pokémon Go, the game’s developer, Scopely Explore (formerly Niantic), is preparing to celebrate this milestone with a special livestream event. The highly anticipated celebration promises to be an unforgettable experience for fans worldwide.

The exact details of the event remain under wraps, but eagle-eyed fans have been poring over subtle hints and clues scattered across various platforms. Over the past few weeks and months, hardcore fans have been discussing invitations sent out to local Community Ambassadors, inviting them to a mysterious event in New York. This week, an eye-catching 10th Anniversary artwork was released, featuring Mewtwo in what appears to be Times Square.

The artwork bears a striking resemblance to the setting of a giant Mewtwo battle in the game’s first proper trailer, released 10 years ago. Given this connection, it’s not hard to imagine that Times Square could be the location for a massive Mewtwo battle, taking over the area’s many screens to display a giant raid boss. While most attendees have been sworn to secrecy, several high-profile streamers have been announced as in attendance, as well as those hand-picked Ambassadors.

But will the livestream simply showcase a battle? While that would certainly be an exciting spectacle, fans watching at home will likely feel more rewarded with some more detail on what they’ll be playing in-game soon. This could include announcements for features coming to the game over the next year or even the next decade. The possibilities are endless, and fans are eagerly waiting to find out what Scopely Explore has in store for them.

So, exactly what will happen tonight, and what we’ll find out about Pokémon Go’s future, remains to be seen. But we can at least reveal that the action will kick off at 6:15 pm Eastern time / 3:15 pm Pacific / 11:15 pm UK. Stay tuned for live updates as we bring you the latest news and announcements from the event.
