This month, the events in Pokémon Go can be said to "go places" because of the locations that the events involve, or more appropriately "suggest". They could be all over the world (yes, this one and that one), or they could be somewhere comfortably close. They all could be considered a "prelude" to next month's events, which should be considered huge... but that's for next month. Right now there are (or were) this month's events, and they all serve their respective locations quite well.
After the remnants of last month's Halloween event, with special extras for certain parts of the world, there was an event called "Animation Week". As can be surmised, this event celebrated the Pokémon anime, specifically the newest iteration of the "World saga" or what is known in English as Pokémon Journeys. Accordingly, the featured Pokémon in the wild, 7 km Eggs, raids, and Research were those that are featured in the anime at this point, including the venerable Lugia in raids, now with its signature move of Aeroblast. A key feature of this event was the appearance of Goh, Ash's partner in these new adventures; during this event, Goh appeared in photobombs, and everyone earned the chance to have a piece of him... that is, his attire. This event was a real treat for fans of the anime no matter where they are.
Then, a few days after the end of the event, things moved a little closer to home - Pokémon Home, that is, as this was the "fanfare" event for the recently established link between the game and the service. Accordingly, Shiny Meltan became a feature of the event after its long absence, as well as a variety of Pokémon in all the usual channels - wild, (5 km) Eggs, raids, and Research. The "Three Musketeers" from the Unova region (Cobalion, Terrakion, and Virizion) complemented the event in raids, as did Shiny Slowpoke as an alternative Shiny Pokémon. Supplements to the event were attires featuring Meltan and Grand Oak as the "grand host" for Pokémon Home. Of course, it would be expected that many would be focused on obtaining Shiny Meltan as the central focus of the event.
Next, the locations became watery as they became lakes. And wherever there are lakes, there are also the Lake Legends - Uxie, Mesprit, and Azelf - available once again in raids and once again as regionals all over the world, though this time with Remote Raids, they can all be raided through some fortunate connections. In addition to the trio, other Pokémon that are related to lakes as well as the three qualities the Legendary trio represent are also present in the wild, raids, and Research, and through the use of an Incense. A special feature of this event is Goldeen, which gains the possibility of becoming Shiny, if one is fortunate to encounter it as such. This event is currently ongoing until the end of this month, and the hope is that Trainers will be fortunate with it.
This month also has some lesser events that are still significant because of them being pretty much everywhere in nature. The 12 Days of Friendship event takes place up to the end of the month and provides friend-related perks for everyone to take advantage of and enjoy. It especially provides the opportunity to get a leg up on friend interactions, which are doubled for the event. Then, today, there was a Nidoran Limited Research featuring both genders of Nidoran and their Shiny forms spread out over 16 pages of a Timed Research. With increased Shiny chances like Community Day, most Trainers may be fortunate in obtaining them; this too is an opportunity. Everyone gets to revel in both of these, especially if efforts are or were made.
Pokémon Go is always about going places, and that's understandable by the nature of the game. It's supposed to make even great places accessible through the spirits of the featured Pokémon. The events this month can be said to have accomplished such for the world of the anime, Home and its comforts, and great lakes and great values, as well as special treats no matter where one may be. That should be good news for just about all Trainers, wherever they may be and however they do things for the events.
