After the madness of Pokémon Go 's summer Legendary raiding, the app is bringing back its smaller scale monthly events. First up is Equinox, to celebrate the arrival of autumn. It will run from 9pm UK time on Friday 22nd September until 9pm UK time on Monday 2nd October. Most notable about the event is its introduction of Super Incubators, a new item which will hatch Pokémon eggs 1.5x faster than normal. These will, it sounds like, only be available in paid-for boxes via the in-game shop.

Future of AR Ishitara also touched on the potential of AR, saying that "with current AR, even if you say Pikachu is there, no one really thinks that. But that reality is just one step away."

Niantic is looking to keep the momentum going with additional events that are known as Safari Zone events and now we have more details about them. For now, the Pokemon Go Safari Zone events are exclusive to Europe and will kick off on September 16 at Unibail-Rodamco Shopping Centres located at CentrO in Oberhausen, Germany, Les Quatre Temps in Paris, France and La Maquinista in Barcelona, Spain. Each event will provide players with a special in-game medal for attending, as well as special 2 km eggs that are found at the PokeStops at these specific shopping centers. These PokeStops will also have lures on them all day long, allowing players to catch not only normally rare Pokemon like Larvitar and Chansey, but also the usually Australian and New Zealand exclusive Kangaskhan. In addition, Niantic mentions in th
