Hurray, Pokémon Go is turning 5!!
Pokémon Go is turning 5 on the 6th of July. What an incredible journey it was!! Back in 2016, when Pokémon Go was launched, it became a worldwide sensation overnight. In the last five years, it is still the most popular game and managed to earn a reasonable profit for the developer company Niantic, Inc.

4. 2019: GO Snapshot, Team GO Rocket, Buddy Adventure
5. 2020: The GO Battle League, Today View, Remote Raids, Team GO Rocket balloons, the first-ever global Pokémon GO Fest experience, Mega Evolution, GO Beyond Level 40, Seasons, and more
6. 2021: Collection Challenges, Referrals, Together We Raid, real-time sky mechanic, expanded Pokédex classifications
