Pok\u00e9mon Go continues to roll out new content and timely events to coincide with things happening in the real world and the greater Pok\u00e9mon universe. With New Pok\u00e9mon Snap on the horizon (check out our final preview of that game here<\/a>), Pok\u00e9mon Go developer Niantic is encouraging players to whip out their in-game cameras in its hit mobile game.<\/p>\n

Beginning April 29, Pok\u00e9mon Go is adding themed research, avatar items, and Pok\u00e9mon that appear in New Pok\u00e9mon Snap in the wild. A new type of research task that features the Pok\u00e9mon Go Snapshot feature will give players a chance to encounter Smeargle (you’ll even have a shot at a Shiny encounter), while Pok\u00e9mon who are known to appear in New Pok\u00e9mon Snap’s Lental region (like Venusaur, Dodrio, and Skarmory) will be more common in the Pok\u00e9mon Go wild. New avatar items themed around cameras and photography will also appear in the Pok\u00e9mon Go Style Shop.<\/p>\n

Here’s a picture of Metapod that The Pok\u00e9mon Company has provided in support of this announcement:<\/p>\n

As you likely remember, Pok\u00e9mon Go launched in 2016 and immediately became a worldwide phenomenon, with massive groups of players roaming from destination to destination in hopes of encountering a rare Pok\u00e9mon, sometimes leading to awkward or even dangerous encounters of a different kind<\/a> in real life. While it’s no longer the massive, unavoidable hit it was five years ago, it remains one of the top games in both the iOS App Store and Google Play. Niantic also continues to host Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest every summer, attracting thousands of players from around the globe. Unfortunately, with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, last year’s event, like nearly every in-person event, was turned into a virtual celebration<\/a>. No announcement for Pok\u00e9mon Go Fest has been made for 2021.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New Pok\u00e9mon Snap Celebration in Pok\u00e9mon Go runs from April 29 to May 2. New Pok\u00e9mon Snap comes to Switch on April 30.<\/p>\n
