Niantic today released a GO Fest themed commercial and accompanying blog post, highlighting the virtual nature of GO Fest 2020. The commercial does an excellent job of showing Pokémon GO’s ability to add value to the real world, but the true story. here it is hidden in this year’s official promotional work:
The official artwork is themed for the Pokémon GO fourth anniversary event and features several interesting additions:
- Generation 6 starters!
- Fennekin hidden in Pikachu balloons
- Chespin riding on red coach’s shoulder
- Froakie sitting under the blue coach
- Mega Pokémon evolved!
- Mega Lucario on the blue coach
- Mega Charizard in the middle
- Mega Mewtwo Y flying alongside Reshiram and Zekrom
- Victini!
- Tucked away in Pikachu balloons, right next to Fennekin
- Team Rocket balloon in the background
There seems to be a strong push for new and unreleased Pokémon in this anniversary poster, we are curious to see how long before we learn more about Mega evolutions in Pokémon GO.
