Anniversary event

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2017-07-06-pokemon-go-celebrates-first-anniversary-with-new-pikachu-event

So this says Anniversary boxes in the store, and pikachu with ash's hat. Anyone see any other proof of this?

Caught a wild Pikachu about a half hour ago. It looks normal (no hat). First time I had seen one since the last Pikachu hat event, but that's probably just a coincidence.

Probably, but Niantic hasn't announced it so nothing is official or has started yet. The link is a supposed "leak" but tons of fake ones have come out about it.

Depends on the content of the boxes: Of "Incubators, Max Revives, Ultra Balls and a Raid Pass", only incubators and raid pass are worth spending coins on. Only if the price of the box is lower than the price of these items will it be worth buying.

I wouldn't mind ultra balls but Max revives i honestly barely use....

This has become the worst event ever... and it's on Niantics 1st year anniversary.. like they really don't care or something

Well this is a site that commonly updates on pokemon go news. The only thing that throws me off is every other site. So many contradicting events and made up leaks, this still may not even be true. Just threw this speculation in there but i will not believe anything until Niantic confirms what they are doing.

From other posts, it sounds like the serebii site is a pretty legit overall site...

My guess is there will be other stuff going on running till a finale at Go Fest with the "BEST" stuff...

I plan to play accordingly...

Of the box, only raid passes are worth it IMO and even then, with nerfed TM drop rates, I rarely need to do more than 1 a day...almost wasted one yesterday, but did a Karp raid and got 1 golden razeberry and that's it...

Good to probably get enough incubators to total up to 8 for 9 mass hatches at once...but candies are not as important with the intro of rare candies...Maybe they will do 4x dust since double dust isn't really THAT much considering 5k from gyms earlier...Powering up now just burns up so much compared to candies...(sitting on 300+ Larvitar candies now).

Would really like a double candy transfer thing so I can clear my mon storage of all these Larvitars, Mareeps, Chanceys, etc...

I couldn't agree more with the raid a day. I did a Muk Raid yesterday just because i didn't want to waste a day without getting my raid pass. But i would probably get some of these boxes Max revives is the only thing i wouldn't care for.

Pikachu with a hat?!?! Who saw that coming besides every single person that's ever played a second of this game?

So no 2xdust, 2xcandy, 2xexp or buddy distance? I was hoping for a lot more...It is one year anniversary Niantic, dont' be so lame!!

No way I'm gonna spend money on incubators if there is no extra dust or candies from hatches, also revives and ultraballs are not worth to buy for me, sitting on more than 300 ultra balls now, why do I want more? Raid bosses can be catched without them, there are almost no rare spawns here and I am getting more revives than I can hold from raids and gym spins, I destroy like 30 of them each day.

Any time incubators are on sale, stock up. You may not need them NOW, but at some point they will be useful.

I got three down votes for saying people at Niantic might be stupid. This confirms it. 1 year anniversary and might be one of the weakest events yet.

Can't wait to catch more Pikachu's with hats....

I didn't downvote you, but having played other games and how some other companies aren't as active. I just don't agree. But everyone has an opinion won't hate on yours.

The problem has been serious lack of communications from Niantic. Not just a few times, but overall throughout this past year. We get notifications in game 2-3 days after the events start!!! What?

Then for an anniversary event we get this? Sad.

I honestly think there will be more stuff coming, especially on the Jun 22nd weekend since they clearly stated in the releases that trainers around the world will get to participate in stuff too that weekend...

I'd still play optimally based on the Jun 22nd event assuming that's the last big thing for a bit and see what is offered....(sitting on 800+ evolutions currently).

Niantic has just released this exact information. Will be boxes and special Pikachu.

I am sad, very sad, upset and sad. This is not an anniversary event, this is a JOKE to try to grab more money from those packs.

Still remember them calling christmas gift boxes to a payed item hahah. This event is worth absolutely nothing, I will get an ash pikachu hat on the minute 1 and call it done.

And they even make it last from the 6th to the 24th in order to make people spent tons of money on raid passes packs, I wonder how many players will spend hundreds of $ like crazy...

Their official announcement sounds like they will release everything over the course of a few months. They included Raids as a part of the 1 year anniversary, Probably releasing something new every week or two and associate it with the anniversary.

After the Niantics talk about a "Legendary summer" this certainly gives a new meaning to "underwhelming".
