Pokemon Go Anniversary Gathers Manga Creators for Special Tributes

Pokemon Go is a unique experience in the world of anime, creating an augmented reality game that uses real-world locations to help real-life trainers capture pocket monsters. With the video game that is available for free on mobile phones set to celebrate its fifth anniversary, a number of manga artists have assembled to create billboards to help ring in the massive occasion, drawing original artwork for the popular franchise. With Pokemon continuing to unleash new video games on both mobile platforms and Nintendo consoles, it doesn’t seem as though the series is showing signs of stopping any time soon.

Pokemon Go first hit the scene in 2016, created by The Pokemon Company, Nintendo, and Niantic. Using the geographical technologies of mobile devices, players can capture various pocket monsters nearby, and the game has offered fans plenty of events throughout its five years of history. Bringing in billions of dollars of revenue throughout its history and netting over one hundred and fifty million users, it is without a doubt one of the most popular games of the anime franchise.
