Pokemon GO" gameplay diary: "Pokemon GO" celebrates its second anniversary!

Pokémon GO, which created a huge buzz even before its release, celebrated its second anniversary.

We played the game as soon as the event was held to commemorate the 2nd anniversary.

Pikachu with a straw hat appeared!

From the morning of July 7 to July 31, an event is being held to get a special Pikachu wearing a straw hat and sunglasses. Normal Pikachu is cute, but this special Pikachu in a different outfit makes him even more attractive.

Let's try to get Pikachu!

He is wild and very cute.

I tried evolving Pikachu into Raichu!

You can get a special Raichu by evolving a special Pikachu. It is even wilder than Pikachu.

You may have caught a lot of Pikachus, but...

If you catch too many Pikachus because they are so cute, you may find that they overwhelm your "BOX".

Convenient batch selection function

You can select Pikachu at once by pressing and holding a Pikachu in the "BOX" screen, and send it to the doctor to exchange it for a Pokémon candy.
However, when you try to select a special Pikachu...

The message "You cannot select a special Pikachu! message appears and will not let me send it to the doctor. I believed this message for a while and spent my time just barely in the "BOX", thinking that I couldn't send the special Pikachu to the doctor.

One special Pokémon at a time!

I couldn't help but squeeze my "BOX", so I opened an individual Pikachu to try it out and then hit "Send to Dr.".

To my surprise, I was able to send one Pikachu at a time to the doctor! It was a thoughtful thing to do so that I would not accidentally give it away because it is an important Pokémon.

To send off a special Pokémon, it was checked twice. Now you will almost never give up your precious Pokémon by mistake.

Legendary Pokémon and different-colored Pokémon!

Legendary Pokémon and different-colored Pokémon likewise, if you try to select them all at once, a message will pop up and won't let you select them. We were able to send them to the doctor one at a time as well.

I got a Straw Pikachu without hesitation!

Now that you can send them to the doctor, you can catch as many Pikachus as you want as a "Happy 2nd Pokémon GO Anniversary".

The summer version of my Pokémon GO avatar has also been implemented, and I changed my outfit to be cooler. The rainy season is over and the sun is getting very strong. When looking for Pokémon, wear a hat, drink plenty of water, and enjoy the 2nd anniversary event.
