This week, Los Angeles and nearby California cities experienced several wildfires along with powerful Santa Ana winds, leading to severe destruction in Pacific Palisades, Malibu, and other locations. As a result, numerous Hollywood events and sports games were postponed. Despite this, Niantic has decided to proceed with the Pokemon Go Tour: Unova – Los Angeles event, which is scheduled for next month at the Rose Bowl stadium in Pasadena.
According to Mark Van Lommel, Niantic’s head of communication, the team is closely monitoring events unfolding in Los Angeles, keeping in mind the welfare of Pasadena, greater LA, and the Niantic community. At present, preparations for an event are ongoing, and any new information about it will be shared as soon as it’s ready.
The LA fires continue to burn, causing immense damage to the local community and residents. For those wanting to assist the affected individuals, relevant information can be found in this link.
Despite wildfires affecting Pasadena, it’s worth noting that the Rose Bowl remains unscathed and is scheduled to host the Pokemon Go Tour: Unova – Los Angeles from February 21-23. Earlier, Niantic announced this event as the first appearance of Black Kyurem and White Kyurem in Pokemon Go, preceding their global introduction on March 1.

Towards the end of last year, Niantic unveiled that they utilized the actions of Pokemon Go players to develop a practical AI navigation system for the real world. Although Niantic stated their AI model shouldn’t be employed in warfare, they haven’t definitively ruled out sharing data with governments. In related news, it has been reported that some Japanese criminal groups are using Pokemon cards to conceal illicit funds. Furthermore, Pokemon Trading Card Game Pocket, another mobile game within the franchise, racked up 30 million downloads in its initial week. One of the upcoming games in the series, Pokemon Legends Z-A, is expected to launch later this year.
