 [![Pokémon GO turns two!](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/pokmon-go-bestaat-twee-jaar.jpg "Pokémon GO turns two!")](https://www.nintendoreporters.com/storage/files/pokmon-go-bestaat-twee-jaar.jpg)Niantic celebrates 2nd birthday Pokémon Go.

Time for a party because the popular mobile title Pokémon Go has its birthday. The game has already returned 2 years ago and although it is not as popular as it was then, the game is still played by gamers.

## [](#pikachu-month)Pikachu Month

Niantic celebrates its 2-year anniversary with a special Pikachu month. From today both Pikachu and Pichu will occur more often and a special Pikachu has been introduced with hat and sunglasses. This therefore looks nice and summery.

However, it does not stop there because soon a Special Research will start worldwide to the mythical Celebi.
