Trainers,

Nine years and countless memories! Today, we’re thrilled to celebrate Pokémon GO’s anniversary! What an incredible journey it’s been.

For nearly a decade, we’ve been absolutely delighted to witness Trainers worldwide unite through their shared love for exploration, catching, battling, forging friendships, and deepening their knowledge of Pokémon.

We’re also incredibly grateful for the opportunity to continuously improve Pokémon GO with new features, engaging events, innovative ways to discover Pokémon and more. Here are a few of our favorite moments from the past year.
