Summary
July 6 marks 10 years since Pokémon GO launched in 2016, and the game’s team used the anniversary to thank players and frame the title as a global, real-world social adventure.
10 milestones anchored the celebration, from 2017 Raid Battles and Legendary raids to 2018 trading and Trainer Battles, the 2020 GO Battle League and level-50 cap, and 2024 Dynamax and Gigantamax debuts.
Yusuke Kozaki created new anniversary artwork for the occasion as the team said it is still focused on features that encourage exploration, friendship and shared in-person play.
The message looked beyond the retrospective, saying the “next chapter” starts now and promising more rewarding experiences in the years ahead.
