Last year, Pokémon Go introduced the Wild Area paid event, which was quite warmly received by Trainers. This year, as part of the most "transformative" season yet, Wild Area is returning - or more precisely, has returned, to be explained shortly - and this is one of the premises that I had brought up when the season itself started. And so it is that it becomes a good time to make the preview for this year's edition of the paid event, for which this year is not only within the vein of transformation, but also within the vein of "grim darkness".
That's because the main feature of this year's edition is a species whose Gigantamax form is a real titan of darkness, especially as a certain someone might attest, having battled it once. The species is also the fully evolved form of a species family with three members with a little grim and silly thing going on for them. Regardless, they'll be featured to some extent - perhaps not in the same vein of a Community Day, but has "shades" of it - and I'll have more on these when the event goes into full swing for me and others locally.
I say "locally", because like last year, there is a Live edition of the event, which is taking place this weekend (right now) in Nagasaki, Japan. Due to the fact that Max Battles can now be taken part in remotely, some will have already obtained the Pokémon from Trainers who are enjoying the event now over there, and that may be all they can enjoy unless they're actually there. That then just leaves next weekend for the Global edition of the event and all (that is, the rest) that it has to offer.
For that, the rest of the features will be in rough correspondence to last year, with a number of other species being featured in different ways. There are other additions as well, including the aforementioned remote Max Battles (although this has already had its effects well before the event), but most can be considered further niceties to make the event more attractive. As attractive as it is, it may seem clear now that the paid event is set to be an annual thing at around this time of year instead of biannual as I postulated last year, but that may be fine.
All the paid events of Pokémon Go have their own kinds of offerings, and so does Wild Area as the pertinent one of the moment. Last year, it was also evidently transformative in many ways, which then makes sense for it to be brought back within this season for all its transformative quality. This specific edition plays with that as well as a number of shady things - or perhaps a lot more than a number - and is set to be the grimmest and darkest one yet. Still, the light of the paid event might just find a way to shine.
