Pokemon Go Celebrates Second Anniversary With A Special Pikachu

Niantic’s phenomenally popular mobile game Pokemon Go is celebrating its second anniversary this month, and the developer is commemorating the occasion in a number of ways. First, series mascot Pikachu and its pre-evolved form, Pichu, will appear much more frequently from July 6-31, and players will even have a chance to catch a special version of the Electric mouse for a limited time.

Throughout the remainder of July, a “summer style” Pikachu will also appear in the wild. Like the various hat-wearing Pikachu that were available during certain in-game events, this Pikachu only differs in appearance, sporting a straw hat and sunglasses. Additionally, players who have a gold Pikachu Fan medal will be able to purchase special items for their avatar, including a t-shirt and Pikachu ears.

Finally, Niantic has revealed that the Mythical Pokemon Celebi will soon make its debut in Pokemon Go. As was the case with Mew, Celebi will be the subject of a new Special Research quest. The developer hasn’t announced when the Celebi Special Research quest will kick off, only noting that it will be available “in the near future.” You can read more about Pokemon Go’s second anniversary celebration on the game’s official website.

In the meantime, players will soon have another chance to capture the Legendary bird Articuno. As a reward for completing enough Global Challenges during the recent Safari Zone event in Dortmund, Articuno is returning to Raid Battles for a very limited time this Saturday, July 7. The Pokemon will only be available during a three-hour window of time, and players will have a chance to encounter its Shiny form.

The following day, July 8, Niantic will host the next Pokemon Go Community Day. This month’s featured Pokemon is Squirtle; the classic starter will appear much more frequently for the duration of the event, and players who complete Field Research tasks will have a chance of finding a special Squirtle wearing sunglasses. Any Wartortle that evolves before the Community Day event will also learn the powerful Water attack Hyrdo Cannon.

Netflix Will Outspend Every Hollywood Studio in 2018

Netflix is set to spend around $13 billion in 2018 on original programming which includes, TV series, movies, comedy specials, and documentaries.

According to a briefing from The Economist, the streaming giant will spend more on content than any Hollywood film studio or television company, sports programming excluded – and it’ll also be releasing far more projects than its traditional rivals.

In 2018, Netflix’s movie slate consists of 82 titles, with Warner Bros. set to release 23 films this year, and Disney (Hollywood’s most profitable studio) debuting a mere 10. Looking into the financial crystal ball, investment firm Goldman Sachs predicts that Netflix could have an annual spending budget of $22.5 billion in 2022. This staggering number would bring Netflix close to matching the total spending by all of the cable companies and networks in the United States combined.

As was previously promised, PUBG is bringing back War Mode with a few new twists. A post on PUBG’s Steam page yesterday detailed how War Mode’s return starts tonight at 7 p.m. PDT and runs through Sunday at 7 p.m. PDT.

In its older iteration, War Mode took place on the Erangel map, but it will now be set on the recently released Sanhok map. The ante has also been upped: instead of three 10-man squads, War Mode will now feature five 10-man squads. War Mode matches are still set to take place in a small “safe zone” where the first team to 200 points wins.
