Upcomming St. Patricks event?

What is your bet? Will Niantic release something special today or not.

“Catch Pikachu with festive (insert holiday name here) hat! Make sure to save a bunch of them to take up slots in your box for when we roll out trading in 2021!” If they did an increase in “green” mon, I just hope that Larvitar is “green” enough to be included….

Larvitar and Tyranitar are green.

I think a bunch of grass types would be suitable.

St. Patricks day is strictly USA only (ok, and Ireland maybe). I doubt they will hold an event for some local holiday. If they do it will probably be green eggs instead of purple ones. :-)

What about that Lapras event in Japan? You bring up a good point though about events and the world in general. Did the rest of the world have a Valentines Day event for example?

We celebrate it here in Australia. Plenty of Irish moved here over the years.
...But we are happy to join any celebration that requires a lot of beer - the German schutzenfest/Oktoberfest (spelling?) is celebrated here with much enthusiasm too.

I would suggest it is a far more universal celebration than Thanksgiving, and that got an event

...And yes, we all got the Valentine's and Thanksgiving event s

We celebrate St Patrick's Day even here in Brazil.
Not a official holiday, but there's loads of festivals and events related to it here.

On the other hand, thanksgiven is not a thing here and Valentine's Day is on June, but we had those pokemon events here too.

I doubt it... but I think they should. Events are what we all look forward to and keep interest in the game.

I'm still waiting to find out if "save your candies" was a real thing. Hoping that St Patricks day will be double xp.

No, I don't think so, but hopefully I'm wrong. Unless the event is just another Pikachu with a hat, then I hope I'm right.

I don't think so, because events start on Tuesday or Wednesday most of the time, and we haven't heard anything yet. I'd still enjoy one, though.

Pikachu with a special hat is going to get really boring if Pikachu is the only special pokemon that they do.

They should be doing different pokemon with special appearances. Squirtle with sunglasses for a summer event is one that comes to mind. http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Squirtle_Squad
