AUGUST 2018
COMMUNITY DAY
DATE: 11th & 12th August, 2018
For the first time, Community Day was a 2 day event and it featured a fan favourite Pokémon Eevee! I think it was a great move by Niantic as catching Eevees, collecting candies and evolving it into 4 different evolutions couldn’t be done in just 3 hours.
As some of the trainers in Lucknow, went on to grind Eevee candies and Stardust (3x catch dust!) on 11th August (Saturday), I joined these trainers on 12th August (Sunday). The day was rainy but some trainers still went on to catch Eevee in the rain with pure dedication!
We also had some Challenges prepared for them. [Scroll down]
Here is what Prajjwal, a fellow trainer of Lucknow, had to say about the event:
The day started as usual but with some pinch of excitement for the upcoming event… It was Eevee community day, as the event time approached the excitement was getting higher as meeting almost all the fellow players at one spot and playing collectively has always been motive of Pokemon go.
Its time we reached the British Residency slowly with passing time the clouds were getting darker but determination of players was getting even brighter… They even enjoyed the rain.. I will love to mention one of our fellow player trainer PirateHasan while others grouped under umbrellas and shades he was out there exploring the whole place catching Eevees with all the dedication he had.. It was fun players interacted with each other, we met few new players some young trainers it was fun scouting them teaching them tips and tricks which we explored by playing the game for so far.
The environment was just making the experience better and love for pokemon was remarkable.
Those jokes, included with competitive spirit to win the challenges and get those curated cards specially made for boosting the spirits of players was commendable.
I would conclude the whole event with “it was best community day I ever attended”.
