Trainers,

No matter when you started your Pokémon GO journey, we couldn’t be more excited to celebrate our eighth anniversary with you!

We’ve been overjoyed seeing Trainers from across the world and all walks of life come together with their passion for exploring, catching, battling, making new friends, and learning more about Pokémon over the last eight years.

We’ve also continued to grow Pokémon GO with features, events, new ways to discover Pokémon, and more! Here are a few of our favorites from this past year.
