New Pokemon GO event starts later this week
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Pokemon GO is kicking off a special event later this week as we move from summer to fall. Get the full details from Niantic below.
With cool autumn nights quickly approaching in the Northern Hemisphere and sunny spring days arriving in the Southern Hemisphere, we thought it would be the perfect time to celebrate the coming equinox with an in-game event. New seasons mean new adventures!
From 1:00 P.M. PDT on September 22 to 1:00 P.M. PDT on October 2, 2017, you’ll have the opportunity to earn double Stardust for catching Pokémon and hatching Eggs as you walk around your neighborhood discovering new sights. While you’re out exploring, be sure to visit your local PokéStops and Gyms to collect special 2 km Eggs that have the opportunity to hatch Pokémon such as Chansey, Mareep, Larvitar, and more. You’ll also be able to get special boxes from the in-game shop that feature items like Lucky Eggs, Lure Modules, and all-new Super Incubators which hatch Eggs 1.5 times quicker!
Registering a new Pokémon to your Pokédex during this limited-time celebration will earn you triple the normal XP. So that makes this a very good time to battle against the Legendary Pokémon originally from the Johto region. Don’t forget that Raikou, Entei, or Suicune will each travel to a new part of the world on September 30, so make sure to battle the Legendary Pokémon currently in your area while you can!

Apple released iOS 11 this week, but it’s causing a couple of issues for Miitomo users. Nintendo sent out a status update about the situation in a news post within the app today.
Currently, these are the two main problems:
– An error occurs that prevents the sharing of answers or QR Codes via Facebook
– An error occurs that prevents the sharing of answers, Miifotos, or QR Codes via Twitter
Nintendo is examining both of these issues (as well as an issue pertaining to smart devices with Twitter app version 7.7), and is already preparing a fix. An announcement will be sent out when a fix is ready.
