Pokémon Go Finally Has Legendary Pokémon

4.1
Earlier today, developer Niantic hosted its first ever Pokémon GO Fest at Grant Park in Chicago, Illinois, and they’ve unveiled something that players have been waiting for since the game’s release. The wildly popular AR mobile game will finally be adding in the legendary Pokémon Lugia and Articuno.

The sold-out event saw the introduction of a “mystery challenge” in which players were tasked with catching a certain amount of Pokémon during windows throughout the day. Despite rampant connectivity issues, players, both in the park as well as around the globe, were able to meet the criteria to unlock access to Lugia raids worldwide.

You can check out a livestream of the event below.

Players who attended the event were gifted Lugia, without having to battle the legendary raid, and contributions for the challenge were ranked by teams. Team Mystic had the largest contribution worldwide, followed by Valor and Instinct. Because team Mystic won, its team mascot, Articuno, was also announced to be joining the list of in-game Pokémon, though players will also have to defeat it in the game’s new raid format.

Pokmon Go has really gone down hill as it just got boring, like I played the game so much driving around to find gyms for hours on end, and I even spent abit of money on it lol. Was fun while it lasted but no more, I still know a few friends that still play this game quite abit, but for me just got Bord of finding piggy's everywhere. Would of been brilliant if they introduced Legendary Pokmon alot sooner, and bring out better updates for the game. Cant beleive they have only now decided to bring out all these cool updates, and new pokemons, while the game is now dead asf lol.
R.I.P Pokmon Go.

They should have introduced them much sooner. Maybe would have increased the life span of the game
