In addition, on the occasion of special moments such as Halloween or Valentine’s Day, Niantic has offered special promotions during which special Pokemon have appeared to the delight of the many players.
In addition, Apptopia reported that Pokemon Go had around 60 million monthly players in June, with 20% of the players opening the game at least once a day. Even if the number is decreasing compared to last year’s 100 million monthly users, it is still a huge figure.
