Niantic Drops Hint That Legendary Monsters Are Coming To Pokémon GO This Summer

That was a huge speech.

I dont see the constant walking dead shuffle of pokemon go players anymore , will this raise them from the dead?

@Powerballad
Yeah, those gamers need to get out and get some fresh air.

Probably didn't mean anything... while I'm sure they will add the legendaries at some point, Niantic don't exactly seem to be good at making plans very far in advance and sticking to them.

Even when they do add them, they'll probably be obtained through some sort of convoluted method that will make them virtually unobtainable for the vast majority of players.

@DragonEleven I'd prefer that, rather than everybody getting legendaries, makes the players who get them that bit more impressive.

Legendarily late.

This would have been great... during the summer of 2016.

@PotatoTheG @ThatNyteDaez Kept people playing the game by waiting. Mewtwo didn't come to Red/Blue/Yellow in a month.

@Fandabidozi im sure they get plenty , before they start playing in traffic

@olrodlegacy I think you misunderstood what I meant... I didn't mean that it would be a challenge to get them... more like it'd be a 'right place at the right time' sort of situation... as in anyone who lives nearby would be able to get it easily with no effort, and anyone without the means to get to that location at a certain time/date wouldn't even have a chance to get it... nothing impressive about that, just unfair.
If it's anything like the Ingress events, then it may not even come to every country.

What I'd prefer if they done would be if they done it through something like a set of lure modules... rare drops from PokeStops that can then be placed onto a PokeStop like a normal lure and will cause the corresponding legendary to appear there... then it must be battled like we saw in the trainer, with everyone nearby working together to weaken it, and when it's beaten, everyone who battled it will automatically catch it.
A time limit would prevent individuals and small groups from being able to get it on their own... they'd need to work together with their local Pokemon GO community to organise a large group of players.

Also... I think you mean Mew, not Mewtwo in your last comment.

@Powerballad
I stepped off a walkway into thin air yesterday so I'm definately guilt of that. 😊

Legendary Pokemons feel worthy on 3DS or the next machine... Nintendo Switch.
Imagine those Legendary Pokemons in HD 3D rendering.

@DragonEleven Yep, Mew..

If people are still interested. Not over here in Holland, that's for sure. But that could change now that the great weather FINALLY has arrived!

I can't believe anyone out there still cares about this. Sure this is cool, but I think it's a little late...

You know what would be legendary? Being able to track Pokémon. Wait, or have more Pokémon appear than the same 11 over and over. Not doing it for you? How about being able to actually battle other trainers, instead of the janky gym battles. Perhaps being able to trade Pokémon?

Maybe it's just me, but all of those are more needed than a legendary that you would need to be in the right place at the right time to get, and that you can't do anything with once you got it.

I've got a thing for the legendary birds, so I'm going to head back to the game and try to grab them once they're available.

I wonder how they'll appear. Maybe they'll be a super rare random encounter that's so rare that most of us would never see one. Or maybe they'll appear near sponsored retailers for a limited time. Or they could put the legendaries in power plants, the south pole, volcanoes and caves.

Legendaries should be locked to the following requirements:

Level 30+
8x 'gym badges'*

Upon achieving this you get a 100k egg that hatches into a random legendary.

*you have beaten a predefined gym in 8 different cities that always has the same Pokémon on.

@Rumncoke25: That's one of the main reasons I stopped playing. Kept encountering the same old same old no matter where I went. And even when I found something unique, it became stupid-hard to catch. If I could catch it.

@Anti-Matter I belive those 2010/2011 models are made in that way, they will look good on higher res, even in HD. There's no device nor game which would render them in HD now though.
Aka: what you see in Pokemon GO is the higher res available right now.

Edit: and maybe Pokedex 3D on iOS.

@RadioHedgeFund Would be interesting, except I know some good players who don't have time/money to travel to 8 relatively large cities who are nonetheless lvl 30+, and I myself am about to fall into such a category. Doesn't seem right to put too large a requirement on that.

Also, the Pokemon nerds would riot over the prospect of a legendary in an egg.

@olrodlegacy
Dat Nintendo World Championship episode was trully amazing bro.

Too little, too late.

@crimsontadpoles what idiot is going to break into a power plant for a smartphone app? already hiding in a power plant just in case

People still play this?
