It’s hard to believe but Pokemon GO is already a year old! That’s right, we’ve been obsessively hunting for fake monsters in parks, hotels, and tourist hot spots for over a year now.
To celebrate, developer Niantic and the Pokemon Company have unleashed a special in-game event that will reward all players with a few goodies. For a start, you can now grab Pikachu in a hat. Who doesn’t want that?
And not just any old hat either. Pikachu’s knocking about in none other than Ash Ketchum’s iconic hat from the animated series. That’s definitely worth looking out for!

You can also now grab an Anniversary Box in the store, which showers you with incubators, max revives, ultra balls, and a raid pass. All of that good stuff comes at a discounted price as well – bargain.
More information on the update is available on the official site, along with a lovely snap of Pikachu in his hat. So what are you waiting for? Go and grab Pokemon GO from Google Play right now and get reacquainted.
Better gyms and coop battles were also recently released as part of the anniversary celebrations. Read all about it on Droid Gamers.
