Pokémon GO turns 10 — new mechanics, improved gyms and multi-generational play planned

Pokémon GO is celebrating its 10th anniversary in 2025, a decade after the GPS and augmented-reality game took the world by storm in 2016. The game recently took over Times Square during a New York event, fulfilling a promise from its original launch trailer. Niantic has announced plans for new gameplay mechanics, improved gyms, and features aimed at attracting multiple generations of players.
