Latest Regional Event
Pokemon Go Week is the latest in a string of special Pokemon Go events held in specific locations. Throughout the summer, Pokemon Go has held a variety of "live" events, ranging from a Pokemon Go takeover of Chester, England to the disastrous Pokemon Go Fest in Chicago. The game has also held several successful "Safari Zone" events throughout Europe, which gives players a chance to catch certain region-exclusive Pokemon.
Japan has also gotten a number of exclusive events, usually to benefit an area still recovering from natural disasters. Pokemon Go players in Japan have had opportunities to capture Pokemon like Lapras and Snorlax that flood specific areas for a weekend.
Sadly, players outside Korea probably won't have an opportunity to reap the benefits of Pokemon Go Week. With the Halloween event ending just a few days before Pokemon Go Week, it's unlikely that Niantic will turn around and extend Pokemon Go Week benefits for the rest of the world.
Pokemon Go Week runs in South Korea from November 4th through November 12th.
