>>39525740>>39525863Pokemon Go event thing. They're really going all out for it.
Even the app just sent a random notification that was just "R". The idea is that Team Go Rocket is taking over the whole Go App and shit.
In the game, the grunts are appearing at random stops and challenge you to a fight if you look at or spin the stop (random as to whether they let you spin it or not once before attacking). They have shadow Pokemon and if you beat them you get a chance to catch the shadow Pokemon and later purify it like how it worked in the gamecube games.
