New york city: Pok©mon Go celebrated its 10th anniversary with a special event that closed off Times Square in New York City, deeply moving fans, with some even shedding tears.
According to Thai News Agency, Faye Mata, a fan of the game, revealed that she initially thought it was just a fun and well-organized event. However, during the battle, when images of her actual Pok©mon appeared on the large screens in the area, she couldn't hold back her tears.
Kim Adams, Vice President of Game Development for Pok©mon Go at Scopefly, said the company is fulfilling the promise made when the game launched 10 years ago. Tonight, players will see themselves catching one of the most beloved Pok©mon of all time in a way that allows everyone to come together and share the experience like never before.
Gamers were both excited and shocked when they successfully teamed up to defeat the legendary Pok©mon Mewtwo at the event. Player JZero Beats, who traveled from the UK specifically for this event, said that everyone expected to see Mewtwo, but no one anticipated a giant screen performance, a full-scale event, an amazing atmosphere, and fantastic DJ sets-it exceeded all expectations and was fantastic.
Nearly 2,000 people participated in the game simultaneously at this event, which the organizers stated was one of the largest in-person Pok©mon Go competitions in history. The Vice President of Game Development further revealed that most users spend an average of 45 minutes a day playing the game. Interaction in the virtual world has sparked relationships and connections in the real world. The company receives thank-you letters, as well as invitations to weddings, graduations, and births from players every week. These individuals feel they have built positive relationships with others through the joy of playing the game together. Furthermore, engaging in outdoor activities promotes physical health.
