How did Pokemon GO players celebrate the recent Community Day? Fans love Slowpoke

How did the Pokemon Go community celebrate Community Day in March?


On March 18, 2023, March Community Day was held and centered around a well-known and well-loved creature from Generation I. Its protagonist was Slowpoke, a Pokemon that every fan of the series is familiar with.

Players strongly anticipated the Community Day associated with this very creature. The title’s community loves this lazy and slow pink Pokemon, which they associate not only with the game from Niantic but also with their childhood and watching the series on TV. Just like Pikachu, Charmander, and Dragonite.

Fans spent Community Day extremely creatively. Of course, it’s impossible to show literally everything, but here are some of the more interesting examples.

Slowpoke Community Day in Pokemon GO

First up is a little tradition of Community Days, namely candy in the shape of a particular Pokemon. As you can see, the author not only presented the basic appearance of the creature, but also its Galarian (and shiny) version.

You can see more Pokemon GO-related candy in a separate article dedicated to the author of the above photo – This player creates candy in the shape of Pokemons. The effect is really cute.

Twitter’s Jotodile decided to create an image of Slowpoke out of moulin. Here is the result:

There was also plush creatures made from yarn:

Another of the fans prepared something like this:

Of course, in addition to knitting and a mass of fanart, which is impossible to show in one article, fans from all over the world met in groups and commemorated Community Day in photos.

All of the photos were published on Pokemon GO’s official Twitter profile.

It would seem that March 18 was a Community Day like any other – bonuses, a set of tasks, new stickers, or increased appearances of a particular species.

However, the community involvement shows that the creatures from the first generation, on which many people grew up, are really close to the title’s fans.
