Pokémon GO to Hold In-person Meetups during Stufful Community Day
Pokémon GO players have something exciting to look forward to as Niantic, the developer behind the popular augmented-reality mobile game, has recently announced that they will be hosting in-person meetups for the upcoming Stufful Community Day.
This news comes as a welcome surprise to trainers, particularly after the COVID-19 pandemic limited social gatherings and forced Niantic to shift their focus to digital events. As more countries ease restrictions and people become more comfortable with in-person gatherings, Niantic decided it was the perfect time to reintroduce physical meetups for Pokémon GO players.
The upcoming Stufful Community Day will take place on June 20th, 2021, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. local time. During this event, players will have the opportunity to catch a high number of Stufful, the cute and cuddly Normal/Fighting-type Pokémon. Stufful will also have an increased chance of being encountered in its shiny form, making the event even more enticing for collectors and shiny hunters.
To enhance the experience further, Niantic will set up designated meet-up points in various cities around the world. Trainers can gather at these locations, allowing them to interact with fellow players and participate in group activities together. This brings back the sense of community and camaraderie that was often associated with Pokémon GO when it first launched.
However, it is essential to note that Niantic is prioritizing the safety of everyone involved. They will strictly follow local health guidelines and ensure that all meetups adhere to social distancing protocols. Additionally, Niantic encourages players to wear masks and practice good hygiene to further reduce the risk of potential COVID-19 transmission.
For those unable to attend the in-person meetups, Niantic will continue to provide digital features and bonuses for Community Day. Trainers can still enjoy the event from the comfort of their homes, engaging in activities such as raids and taking advantage of special items and bonuses available exclusively during the event.
As the world slowly returns to normalcy, the reintroduction of in-person meetups is an exciting prospect for Pokémon GO players. It not only offers a chance to connect with like-minded individuals but also brings back the thrill of hunting Pokémon together in the real world. So mark your calendars for June 20th and get ready for a memorable Stufful Community Day, whether you choose to attend in person or participate digitally!
