Niantic Labs, the now infamous studio behind the wildly popular Pokemon GO.w ill e holding an event inside the game next week. To celebrate Pokemon Day, from February 26 through March 6 every Pikachu players encounter will be wearing a "festive party hat," which players can keep if they catch the Pikachu. Sound familiar?
Niantic announced the event on their website, along with the bright image below. Niantic has not released what the party hat will look like, however, so we'll all just have to wait to see what Pikachu's wearing this time!
Pokemon Day is officially February 27, commemorating the launch of the first Pokemon games back in 1996. It also happens to be my birthday, so happy birthday!
