Niantic has revealed a new event for Pokemon GO called Wild Area. Pokemon GO has been a worldwide cultural phenomenon since its release in 2016. Events have been a staple of the game for many years, gathering players together in real-world locations.
Pokemon GO has become well known for its wide variety of events over the years. On August 31, Pokemon GO will have a Community Day with Poppilo as the featured Pokemon to catch. A community day has lined up every month in Pokemon GO since January 2018, some with returning featured Pokemon and others unique. Community Days allow players to catch an increased amount of the same Pokemon and its multiple forms over the course of a few hours, with a prime opportunity to catch a shiny. The day also gives players the option to purchase Community Day Special Research tasks, which are small goals with a reward in line with the event. Raids have also been known to spawn in Gyms with the Pokemon featured during that day.

The Wild Area could be similar to other live events like the Pokemon GO Safari Zone, where players purchase a ticket to participate in the event directly or take the opportunity to catch special spawns of Pokemon throughout the area.

Niantic also holds an annual event called Pokemon GO Fest, a major part of the game since 2017. It serves as the biggest celebration of Pokemon GO, and since 2022, it has consistently happened over multiple cities a year. Starting in 2020, Pokemon GO Fest has included global celebrations along with ticketed in-person events in specific locations.
Niantic has done its best when keeping the number of available Pokemon on par with the rest of the franchise. This September, Pokemon GO is set to debut 13 new Pokemon, including the Galar region starters like Grookey, Scorbunny, and Sobble. Stonjourner will also be available as a UK regional exclusive, giving an incentive for travelers to catch the Pokemon from another region. Pokemon GO continues to be a game that encourages players to journey far and wide to catch them all.
