OK, this is getting a bit late to write this up, but it's got to be done anyway before the thing associated with it. I'm talking, of course, about this year's edition Pokémon Go Tour, for which the current post serves as a preview of the happenings to come very soon. Now, this season is called "Precious Paths", as detailed months ago, and the occasion of this year's Go Tour seems apt to continue "precious paths" in more ways than one. That along with a few more of the particulars for this year's edition deserve to be explained.
The featured region for this year, following the above, is certainly Kalos, as the region where Mega Evolution was first discovered. True to that, the focus of this year's edition is partly on these big forms in raids. They'll also herald the arrival in Pokémon Go of the first of the "second batch" forms introduced in Legends: Z-A, these being for Victreebel and Malamar. There is also the usual feature of Shiny forms of species from this region, including the debuts for some of them through the usual featuring aspects.
Like past years, there is a "Live" edition of the event scheduled for this weekend, staying put in Taiwan (this time in Tainan) and Los Angeles for Trainers in either hemisphere - and with convenient access - to enjoy. The usual paid features of the "Live" event will return, with one addition: a special nighttime event called "Mega Night", obviously focusing on these big forms and the related Pokémon. It's a two-hour soiree for participants in both places that will be as festive as it will be a big deal with the forms of concern.
Meanwhile, the Global edition, also a usual thing, is scheduled for the following weekend on February 28 and March 1. Yet also as with last year, the rest of the Trainers who didn't get the "early access" for the new things introduced through the "Live" editions will get them when they participate in this edition. They'll still have to divide up the efforts over the two days of the event, but the core of it will still be free - it's the add-ons that will cost a bit more, but they may have at least some bearing on the big festivities.
If the big thing for the region of Kalos is Mega Evolution and its myriads of forms that are and have always been associated in the main series games and their Legends adjunct, then its featuring in any way will invariably involve these big things coming to the limelight. Such is true of this year's edition of Pokémon Go Tour, which becomes a "Mega time" for that big reason and arguably becomes the most "precious" of the "paths" that Trainers tread upon this season. It may just be the surest path for big evolutions.
