An glitch blocked a lot of Pokémon GO users from joining in to the mobile game's servers earlier today, September 26.

Pokémon GO Makes An Impact: Pokémon World Championships 2017 Event is Here!   Image: Marti Bennett Pokémon GO  came out a year ago, and since then its popularity has been reduced considerably. However, at the Pokémon World Championships Opening Ceremony it was announced that for the duration of the weekend, the Pokémon Kangaskhan - previously exclusive to Australia and some European cities - would be available around the Anaheim Convention Center. In addition to that, Unown started spawning around the convention center with the letters spelling out the word "WORLDS". Normally, this wouldn't be of note, but should you step outside the Anaheim Convention Center at any hour of the day, there would be literally hundreds of people milling around, hunting these Pokémon and participating in raids. It really was a phenomenal thing to see. People rushing when a Kangaskhan had spawned, people screaming about a Moltres raid, and so on. Seeing people from all countries p

Thousands of trainers are expected to converge on Chicago's Grant Park today for the Pokémon GO Park 2017, the first of the augmented reality game's large-scale real-life events, Pokémon GO Fest. There's a lot going on in Chicago, but the celebrations aren't restricted to those who are physically there. There are still ways for everyone else to partake in the celebrations, even if you have to wait until tomorrow for a chance at Legendary Pokémon. Pokémon GO Park 2017 Event is Here!   The day is interrupted by a series of "catch challenges," which imply something different depending on where you are. People at Grant Park are in charge of deciding what kind of benefits trainers would get after the event. It has to do with the Pokémon that those trainers choose to catch: Leaf-type for Stardust bonuses, Fire-type for confectionery bonuses, and so on. If I had to guess, I'd assume the Grant Park high-level trainers would prioritize Stardust.

The event concludes on June 20, one day before the summer solstice.
