Following the defeat of Team Go Rocket in NYC earlier today -


Thread:


The social media has now been taken over by Team Go Rocket with mystery images hinting at something for 7/28


And now they're hosting a countdown :

First real story stuff in GO dealing with Giovanni?

I know the special research quests exist, but those feel like side quests.

I got the "R" alert and thought it was some weird glitch.

Turns out it was a cry for help SAVE US SOMEONE SAVE US

This whole thing (in game and out) is a lot of fun- looking forward to where the Giovanni teases are going.

It's 4pm here in NZ and I can confirm that all the stops are Rocket stops... Spent all day waiting for either of the 2 stops I live next to to turn into Rocket stops so I could catch one more pokemon to purify for the research. Finally caved and went for a walk 20mins ago. Get home and now this...

Might as well rack up shadow and Purified Pokémon now for the medals

I'm sure they'll put in some rare mons from Gen 5 hidden behind this mechanic when that gets launched. Would be good to have more premiere balls when the time comes.

I've only seen one of the invaded stops so far the last few days, but it's a neat little thing. They overhauled battles to have better AI and a more involved special move minigame right before this, and when you enter an invaded stop you have to beat the Rocket guy there.

I don't think I can go join this event though, it's stupid hot around here and I'm overheating just by sitting at home.
