On July 6th, Pokemon Go marked its 9th birthday, which means we’re now in the game’s 10th year on mobile devices. This is quite an accomplishment for any game, especially a mobile one, but Pokemon Go has managed to thrive by consistently offering content based on the main series games and original material. We have a general sense of what to anticipate during this current season, but Niantic has recently given us a sneak peek at upcoming events for the remainder of 2025, and potentially into 2026 as well.
A peek into future updates for Pokemon Go is made possible by this special anniversary artwork created for the game. Typically, the annual anniversary art offers a sneak peek at plans for the following year, although changes may occur and some features might be delayed. Nonetheless, there are several intriguing elements to discover in this fresh artwork, including recent updates to the game itself. Crowned Sword Zacian and Crowned Shield Zamazenta are noticeable highlights, as is Gimmighoul who received considerable attention during the anniversary event. Additionally, there are numerous other significant features not yet incorporated into the game.
In the anniversary artwork, several fresh Pokemon are visible, with Paradox Pokemon being the most significant addition expected soon. Among them are Great Tusk and Iron Treads, both inspired by Donphan and classified as Paradox Pokemon. Additionally, Mega Metagross is shown, an exciting inclusion given its absence in Pokemon Go so far. As Pokemon Legends: Z-A plans to introduce more Mega Evolutions later this year, it’s speculated that Niantic may be preparing to complete the existing Mega Evolution series. However, the two Mega Mewtwo forms are yet to be seen!
One intriguing detail from the anniversary artwork causing quite a stir is the smartwatch worn by a Trainer positioned next to Mega Metagross in the back left corner. A speech bubble hovers over the character’s wrist, pointing towards the watch and displaying a thumbs up emblem. At present, it remains unclear what this sneak peek pertains to; however, enthusiasts are brainstorming possibilities that range from a hint for remote trading to a fresh method of engaging with fellow gamers.
Anticipating that Pokemon Go will continue to offer exciting updates as it moves towards its 10th anniversary, given the significant transformations and additions since its release in 2016. The game has been consistently enriching its content to keep players engaged, and it seems that this trend is set to continue over the coming year. Although specific release dates for new content are yet to be announced, there’s a chance we might get some insights during the Pokemon Presents livestream scheduled for July 22nd.
