Did Niantic Give Away The Next Pokémon GO Community Day Pokémon?
We literally just wrapped up the latest Pokémon GO Community Day event and players are already speculating online as to who the next Pokémon will be the next time they do it. Shortly after the event finished up, a few keen-eyed players caught this image below and loaded it up on Reddit. If you believe the authenticity of the post, it looks like the company will be using the Gen 1 starter Pokémon Bulbasaur as their go-to creature for everyone to hunt down. Which would be a treat for anyone who didn't choose him as one of the starting Pokémon you can choose when you first open the game, maybe not so much for those who already have him.
Honestly, the likelihood of this is about 50/50. It would not shock us to see them add in a Pokémon that's already hard enough to find and make them the primary creature you're hunting for during an event. However, Niantic is usually a little more creative than this and have made other uncommon and rare Pokémon the focus of past events, so seeing Bulbasaur be the focus is kind of a letdown on their part if it is true. We probably won't know for a few more weeks if it is true, so feel free to speculate for now.
