Forums - Gaming Discussion - Pokémon Go holiday event announced

As per Niantic:

The holiday season has arrived! Celebrate it with us!

 

Trainers,

As the year draws to a close, we want to give you a great way to celebrate the end of the year with Pokémon GO. For the next couple of weeks, you’ll have even more reason to explore the world with your friends and family while you enjoy our year-end event.

Don’t miss out on an increased chance to hatch a Togepi (and other Pokémon)! Starting the morning of December 25, 2016, and through the afternoon of January 3, 2017 (PST), PokéStops will award one single-use Incubator each day after your first Photo Disc spin. As you visit PokéStops during this time period, there will be a greater chance of finding Eggs that hatch Togepi, Pichu, and several other recently found Pokémon, originally discovered in the Johto region. Special Pikachu wearing festive hats will also be staying around a bit longer! You are more likely to find these limited-edition Pikachu during the time period of this celebration.

In addition, from the afternoon of December 30, 2016, through the afternoon of January 8, 2017 (PST), the first partner Pokémon and their Evolutions, originally discovered in the Kanto region, are more likely to be encountered. This means a greater chance to catch Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, as well as Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard, plus Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise! As a way to increase your chance to encounter one of these Pokémon, Lure Modules will also last for 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes.

Get up and go!

So for one week more or less? 7 single use incubators then or 2.3 of the €1.50 incubators if you get stops every one of the days.

I guess it's better than nothing, not really what I think about when it comes to Christmas event presents lol.

Are there actually still people playing Pokémon Go? I mean, outside of you nerds.

They Gyms in my town (of around 20k people) cycle back and forth between around 5 people who play it (including myself) So no, I don't think there is a great many number of people in the game anymore.

The botched release of Gen 2 has been a complete missed opertunity, I had a thread about it and the majority figured it would make some people return to the game... but instead of updating the game with a big release of Gen 2 they tried to add them in a way to sell some incubators from the store, completely sacrificing any revival of interest from those who stopped but instead aimed directly at trying to milk the whales who are paying for the game right now.

I got one but don't really know when. After I reached lvl 20 I got one for reaching that lvl. So I wanted to place an egg and saw that I had 2 of them.
