Visiting Baltimore on Aug. 4 for Pokemon Go night at Oriole Park at Camden Yards made me feel somewhat appreciative of living in rural central Pennsylvania. My plan originally involved traveling down there for only the game. But then I was thrown a curveball Monday when Pokemon Go announced ...
When Pokemon Go announced details for the “Forever Forward” season in late May, a lot of players voiced their displeasure about spotlight hour being replaced with a weekly showcase event. A few weeks later, on June 18, the game’s development team brought spotlight hour back as a weekly occurring event, now from 6 to 7 p.m. local time every Thursday, instead of Tuesday, like most players were accustomed to for many years.

Despite being a free experience for the first time, Pokemon Go Fest will have a lot of trainers breaking their banks to play the event, which will undoubtedly generate hundreds of millions in revenue. In celebration of Pokemon Go’s 10-year anniversary, Go Fest is technically free this year because all trainers who log in during the July 11-12 event will receive special research awarding a Zeraora encounter and additional bonuses, such as an increased chance of encountering shiny Pokemon, at no cost.

To celebrate an extra-special year, Go Fest global will have an extra hour of gameplay and be free for the first time. Usually, people have to buy a paid ticket to receive special research rewarding a mythical Pokemon, an ...
The Firefighter’s Memorial Trail in East Carroll Township is not only a great resource for the community, but for Pokemon Go trainers as well. Last weekend, I used my daily adventure incense at the Cambria County Fire School training site and encountered a Galarian Zapdos while walking on the trail, which follows alongside Little Chest Creek to Ashcroft Road, heading into Patton Borough.
