New ‘Go’ season gives a glimpse of the future

The next season of Pokemon Go, Forever Forward, begins Tuesday and runs through early September, which means we have an idea of what content will be available for trainers leading up to the game’s 10-year anniversary in July. For starters, Go Fest is arguably the biggest event of the year, and this year’s event will feature the debut of Mega Mewtwo X and Y. 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 ...

Trail walks help to prep for summer ‘Pokemon Go’ events

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.

Adding Pokemon GBA titles sensible

The games were rereleased to commemorate the 30-year anniversary of Pokemon Red and Green’s ...

Fun week with ‘Pokemon Go’ sees luck change

What a difference a couple months can make. In January, Pokemon Go’s content was dull to say the least. However, beginning with the Road to Kalos event, which led to the global Kalos Tour event Feb. 28 and March 1, my luck with this game has been over the top in more ways than one. It started Thursday, Feb. 26 with the Sinnoh raid hour, featuring origin forme Dialga and Palkia. The objective was to get a shiny Dialga or Palkia with a special background and its adventure effect move, which wasn’t guaranteed and made it difficult to find one that checked off all three ...

California return trip a massive success

Tens of thousands of people gathered at Rose Bowl Stadium and nearby Brookside Golf Course last weekend in Pasadena, Calif., with their phones in their hands and eyes on their screens for a fun event full of surprises. Among them were five trainers from Altoona who flew out of the ...

Remote trades in Pokemon Go a long time coming

The first-ever remote trades are finally happening in Pokemon Go after some trainers were able to achieve forever friends together. Although there was initially a problem reported with the feature, the issue has been resolved, and people can now trade Pokemon with others they may never meet ...
