Possible New Pokemon Go Event Teased by New Image Asset
Pokemon Go players are excited by the possibility of a new event, thanks to a recently discovered [...]
Likely Event Date
While all Pokemon Go has added is a t-shirt, we already have a potential weekend when the event could take place. The UN is holding a Global Goals Week from September 16th-23rd to promote and raise awareness for its initiative.
The Global Goals Week will be a star-studded affair, highlighted by a "Goalkeepers" event on September 19th and 20th. The event will feature former US President Barack Obama, Nobel Prize winner Malala Yousafzai, and Bill and Melinda Gates as speakers for the event. If Pokemon Go is going to throw an event, it'll likely coincide with either the Goalkeeper event or the overall Global Goals Weeks to celebrate the event.

Although players will likely take advantage of any event Pokemon Go throws, the Global Goals are a pretty inspirational set of goals. In 2015, 193 different countries pledged to pursue these goals in the hope of creating a sustainable worldwide society and making the world a better place.
Some of the Global Goals are pretty ambitious, like ending poverty and hunger worldwide, or having enough clean water for everyone. Other goals are a bit more...creative, like figuring out a way to live underwater or creating affordable and sustainable energy. The goals also cover progressive initiatives like gender equality, climate action, and quality education for everyone. You can check out the full Global Goals here.
We'll have more coverage if/when Pokemon Go makes an announcement about the next event, which we anticipate will happen sometime this week.
