‘Pokemon GO’ Update: Game to Join Celebration of Pokemon Day

As The Pokemon Company is set to celebrate Pokemon Day, what could possibly be the participation of "Pokemon GO"? Being one of the most popular titles of the Japanese brand, players of the virtual reality game will surely experience something unique during the celebration.

On Feb. 27, the famous Japanese character, Pikachu, will take the lead in celebrating the much-awaited day in the "Pokemon" universe. Back in 1996, the series was launched in Japan, and since then, Pikachu, Ask and the gang have consistently been gaining popularity all over the world.

The celebration, which will run from Feb. 26 until March 6, will introduce an innovation within "Pokemon GO," which can probably be considered an update. According to a recent report, Niantic, the game's developer, will be holding an event inside of the highly popular game title. 

As Pokemon trainers begin catching pocket monsters via the app, they can try their luck at catching every Pikachu that wears a "festive party hat." The company behind "Pokemon GO" divulged that players who would get the party hat-wearing Pikachu during the entire duration of the celebration have an option to keep the festive head gear "forever." As to how this much-anticipated hat would look like, Niantic has not given a hint just yet.

It can be recalled that during Christmas season last year, the same "Pokemon GO" update was done, wherein players had to catch Christmas Pikachu which could evolve into a unique hat-wearing Raichu.

In the meantime, Forbes reported that with the inclusion of Gen 2 update in "Pokemon GO" starting last week, some problems should be addressed. And on top of the list are the "endless crashes."

It was pointed out that the "overall stability of 'Pokémon GO' seems to have gone down the drain with this latest update." This happens when switching between apps and even while you are within the game.
